Red Hot Swap

Greetings Friends,
It is time for another Red Hot card swap.  Our group is always invited to participate in a swap whenever a new catalog comes out.  The new Just My Type stamp set was one I thought that was unusual and fun so I decided to use it for my swaps.

Wanting a colorful watermark looking background I decided to use the Poppin' Pastels technique.

1. Stamp your image in Versa Mark ink.
2. Daub Stampin' Pastels chalks on top of stamped image.
3. Seal with aerosol hairspray.

I had a happy accident when my Medallion stamp had some pink classic ink residue on it.  It made for a pretty color combo with the chalks that I used.  I love happy accidents.  :)

Have a great day everyone ~ Rachel

Trash or Treasure? French Fry Box.

Greetings Friends,
It is Trash or Treasure day in the craft room.  Today's challenge comes from my daughter Kimberly.  Have you seen these tiny french fry holders that come in a McDonald's Happy Meal?  They are big enough to hold about 10 fries and Kimberly decided they were the perfect size to make over.

Make overs do not always need to be elaborate.  I had this glimmer paper heart punched out on my craft table and decided to put it to use for this project.  All we needed to do was cover the "M" and since the heart wasn't quite big enough I also punched out a scallop circle.  Simple and cute!

Happy Valentines Day everyone ~ Rachel

Heart Framelits

Greetings Friends,
Out of all the projects I put together for the Heart Framelit challenge this is the one that makes me the happiest.  You all know I'm a sucker for a cute critter.  The face and mane of the lion are one size heart and the body is a larger upside down heart.  This photo is of the bottom corner of a 12x12 scrapbook page.

Heart Framelits
Wide Oval, Small Heart & Itty Bitty punches.
Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Not Quite Navy & Old Olive color combo.

Greetings Friends,
