United As One Mixed Media Frame

Hola everyone! Hope you are having a great day. 

My crafty sister/friend Linda is an awesome cardmaker and mix media artist. I asked her to alter a Dollar Store wooden frame so I may add a Hero Arts Unity Collection image to it! 

I loved how the frame turned out! I stamped and colored images from United as One and Kids United to add to the frame!

Place Settings Made for my Scrappy Sister Andrea

Good morning all!


I wanted to share a project that I completed for my scrappy sister, Andrea. She is hosting a holiday party today for a group of about 20 or more of her fellow sorority sisters: the ZETA PHI BETAs of the DELTA BETA ZETA Chapter of Queens, New York. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. is an international organization of business, professional and collegiate women with an extensive history of community service. CLICK HERE for more information about this awesome organization.    


 Andrea asked me to create place settings that her sorors can use after the festivities are over. I found wooden plaques at A.C. Moore for about 30 cents each and went to work. Andrea provided the doves which she purchased and I painted. Though Provocraft has a digital GREEK ALPHABET cartridge available for purchase and use in the CRICUT CRAFT ROOM, I used my Gypsy and welded an "O" and an "I" to create the PHI. I LOVE MY GYPSY!!!! 

 Here are pics of some of the completed placeholders!

Thanks for taking a peek!

I think these will make great tree ornaments 

or home/office decor items

Here is a list of products I used....... 

To create ROYAL BLUE"(the Zeta Phi Beta color )paint...

Apple Barrel Acrylic Paints: Grape Juice, Black & Bright Blue

Altered Wooden Box

Good morning EVERYBODY!!!! Hope all is well! I had an great and relaxing 4 day weekend! Ruckus made an AWESOME Thanksgiving meal...all by himself. He gave me the gift of relaxation. And I thoroughly enjoyed it! I played with my new Kindle Fire, got caught up on American Horror Story and hung out with Courtney & Noodles (William had to work and Bri was in Georgia). I got to scrap a little and complete my items for the 12 DAYS of DECEMBER SWAP with Linda!

Here is a project I completed for Noodles. I purchased a wooden box from the Dollar Tree and altered the heck out of it! I used my Ranger Color Wash in STREAM. Love the color! Used a crackle technique that I saw on Youtube~using ModPodge.  (I also heard my scrappy sister Patricia say she uses a ModPodge crackle technique. She is an awesome artist...check her out when you can>>>>tubeyoumaster1)  Since Noodles is a little fashionista and wants to enter the fashion industry, I decided to use a sewing theme! It all does start with scissors, needle and thread, right?

Here is a peek at my finished project. Have an awesome day!
