My “Spring” project:

I purchased this piece of artwork because I loved the birds on the wires and the fact that it was metal. What I did not like was the fact that the background was so dark. (I should have taken a before and after picture … duh!) I knew those vintage music sheets I purchased would come in handy J I covered the dark background board with a thin layer of Gesso. I then tore the vintage music sheets into pieces and used Paper Mod Podge to adhere the pieces to the background board. I cut flourishes with my Cricut using the Home Accents and Straight from the Nest Cartridges. I love the way this turned out!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Second a Design Team project for the Just Imagine Crafts/ Kreaxions Blog -

 

The Kreaxions punches are not just for card making and scrapbooking layouts … I have been using them on my other paper crafting and altered projects … oh the possibilities!

I made these cute little milk carton houses to use as treat boxes for a co-worker. I used my Cricut and the Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridge for the milk cartons and then measured and re-measured and re-measured some more to make the holder. I must have been absent from school the day they taught you how to use a ruler lol! I made the decorative edges on the roof of the houses and the border on the holder by using the Kreaxions punches #301 and 916.
