The Vanity

I finally finished this project I started ages ago.
I haven't done much crafting since my grandmother passed away in September. I guess I haven't really been in the mood. Maybe finishing this project will get me "going" again.
When I made this project months ago I didnt like how it came out, so now I redid the back and the mini album and I am a little bit happier with the results.

I made this using instructions from this blog: http://paperphenomenon.com

The tutorial is called Vanity and you can find it here: http://shop.paperphenomenon.com/Vanity-007.htm

I changed some things from the tutorial - just to make it a little but more my style :)

I know I don't usually post video's but this is for a contest! So everyone can go to her blog and vote for my project! Thanks!

The contest is called: Phenomenon Win Big, Kit Club Membership Contest

Jewelry Making with my Slice and Shrinky Dinks

Yes, I am going back to my childhood. I remember in 1st grade making projects with Shrinky Dinks, dont remember what we made, but it was nothing worth talking about.

Sooo...
I decided to try something new. I cut shapes using my slice, colored them, baked them, added beads and finished!

Here are two things I made:

oatmeal cans and broken crayons

I made these for my nephews using epty ans of oatmeal and broken peies of crayons (you know, the ones none of the kids want to use anymore, even though they color perfectly fine...)

I decorated the cans using paper and my slice

I put all the broken peices of crayons in a upcake pan and baked them with peices the same shade

Utensil drawers

I started these drawers last summer. I wanted something for our utensils. We go though a TON of plastic throw-away utensils, so I thought a set of drawers would be cute.
This is made COMPLETELY out of card-board, paint & glue. The drawers are COMPLETELY from scratch. I really like how they came out! Let me know what you think!

 

I bought the knobs on ebay.

House Jewelry Box

I started this jewelry box at work one day using the top of a box of paper.
Well, I finally decided to finish it. Now I just have to figure out who to give it to :)

Wedding Album

Remember a few weeks ago I showed a picture of the table cloth I bought? I bought it because I really thought it would make a beautifull album cover, and guess what? It did.
I finally finished it and I really love how it came out. It was hard to work with, so I am not sure I will be buying more table cloths, but it was something worth trying.
Here are some pics.

 

CookBook Stand

I love making cookbooks, I am always trying to find a new way to make it the most convinient. I love this idea, with the cookbook standing you dont have to keep on turning the page with your dirty hands, cause it stays on the recipe you need. I also decorated some paperclips to clip on the my favorite recipies so that they are easier to find :0
Again, I made this using my SLice to decorate.
