Poppin Tags At Goodwill: Old Jeans Made New With Craft Supplies

I bought these old pair of jeans at the Goodwill. They were only four dollars on 1/2 price Saturday... what a deal. The problem is that they are missing a button. What's a girl to do.?

I immediately thought that I could just replace the button with a new one. And then I thought that might be too much work. So I grabbed my e6000 glue and my handy dandy embellishment button jar. I glued the embellishment to the broken button.  Then I went around the edges of the button with my sealer glue and let it dry.

I get a lot of compliments on these jeans. They're great find and I'm so glad that I got do this project with supplies I already had. They've been in the wash a few times already and they're still looking great. I love these pants.

Rock Star Cricut Card

I made this card for my friend June, who is starred in Chandler,AZ Idol. She made it all the way to the final round. It's made with rock star princess cartridge, and cut at three and a half inches. I used Washi tape and cut it to look like flags. 

Alice in Wonderland clock with Graphic 45 Paper

Recently I received this graphic 45 paper that's been discontinued for a while. Luckily, I found some extra pieces on the internet. I've had these project pieces for over 5 years now and they've been sitting in my closet. I thought this paper would make a really great clock.

I use mod podge to seal the paper on the clock. Then I added some embellishments.  Unfortunately the clock pieces broke. So I had to make a trip to the Hobby Lobby to pick up a new part. This is a clock I'll keep for a long time.

Home Decor - Five Years in the Making!

I purchased these letters in a kit about 5 years ago at the Tuesday Morning.  They've been sitting in my closet for about 5 years now.  I finally took some time to embellish them and seal them.  Boy...some times it takes a long time to complete a project!

 

The paper is from My Minds Eye and I used Vintage photo ink to give it the aged look.

All letters were sealed with Mod Podge.

Mac book pro sticker made with Silhouette Cameo - Crafty Gals Challenge

This month, the gals in the Crafty Gals blog group are showing some love to me.  Can you believe it - how neat is that?   The gals know I love using die cuts and my Cricut and Cameo so I decided to show you what I made with my Cameo this month.

I know you probably have guessed by now, that  Alice in Wonderland is my favorite character. I think I can recite both versions of Alice and Wonderland. The cartoon and the remake with Jonny Depp.

Recently I saw a Snow White sticker on someone's Mac so I decided to create one myself with my Silhouette Cameo. I downloaded a coloring page file to my design studio. Then I made a few edits and cut out the vinyl. I love how it turned out and how she's holding the apple in her arms.  The apple was Dina, but I edited the cat out.  Don't hate me - I know cats are popular on the internet!

 

 One of the things I love most about my Silhouette Cameo is that I can customize pretty much anything. It takes a little bit of time and practice but in the end its all worth it and it saves me  money.
