Last project to be entered in the contest - It's a "from this? to that!" project.

So I had this glass terrarium sphere and I thought what could I make out of this? ..And then it struck me!  A crystal ball!
This is a "from this? to that!" project.

The front - lots of flowers,butterflies,charms and trinkets.
A window into the crystal's magic.
The big side bow and crystal flower.

The other side - your fortune looks fantastic!
The inside is filled with sparkly flowers, feathers and fun.
A pretty bird takes flight from within.
A handmade flower spray drapes over the top and ends with a tassled butterfly.
Pretty Prima Crystal Ball.

Project two of my contest entries. This was so much fun to build!


A handmade, chipboard box covered with a frame made of dowels and the TH Ornate On the edge die.  It's a bird cage with some beautimus Prima birds nesting and taking flight!

 The birdcage portion of the frame is on hinges and opens up to reveal a very cute mini album made with the Lyric paper collection by Prima.  Love it!

 Here's the mini sitting next to the birdcage frame. Cute!

The mini is a quad fold made of chipboard.  Each page is covered with the Lyric paper and embellished with feathers, clocks, keys, chain and Prima flowers.  Isn't my grandson the cutest - love him!!!
Opening up to sections 1, 2, 3 then 4.

 Close up view of the Prima goodness!
 


 Top pockets are in sections 2 and 3 with little double fold tags.  Here are more pics of my favorite baby :-)


 I love "building" projects and making mini albums. This project was a great combo of both!


Here is one of three projects that I hope to enter in a contest.... I don't count on winning but it is so fun to try.

 This mixed media wall hanging combines four tiny (5" x 5") stretched canvas frames brought together with a quarter circle cut from the corners.  The cut outs come together to form the circle for my sun.  I then embellished each with TH flourishes, Prima Romance Novel papers and flowers as well as doo dads from my stash of goodies.  My son is my sunshine and I like how this peek a boo sun hanging turned out!

This is such a dimensional project - 









I wish the cut-out peek-a-boos showed up more but the elements tucked inside are easy to see and love :-)

I love building things! Thank you Graphic 45s Old Curiosity Shop!

 I built this curio cabinet while looking at and loving the cover of the Curiosity Shop paper pack.  I wanted to recreate the cabinet and I really like the results.  The big key, peacock feather, hand in the corner and clocks on top are a daily reminder of one of my all time favorite paper collections.

 Love Graphic 45! Inspirational the 45th degree :-)

From this? to that! Happy birthday jeep project for my son.


 From this?  to  that!   
My son's pride and joy - his jeep.  For his birthday I made a chipboard jeep with an embossed metal card.  


The back panel is crinkled just like the real jeep - he's a 4 wheelin adventurer :-)

I learned how to make this from Laura Denison's (Following the Paper Trail) ustream class. I modified her "Heart Beeps" truck to make a jeep.
Laura Denison is absolutely amazing!
Hubbie made the sticker inside - there is one just like it on the real jeep.The back opens up to a secret compartment where I put some birthday $money$




Happy Birthday A.J. (A.Jeep :-)
