Altering Scrapbooking Tools

I altered both my ATG Gun and my Big Kick Sizzix machine. I used spray paint to alter them. I purchased my items before those fun colors came out on the tools.  Contemplating having a raffle to alter my Cricut. I don't have the funds to purchase a new or used expression and altering it with spray paint could possible break it. Thats why I was thinking of doing a raffle where everyone can purchase e-raffle tickets and then have a fun drawing with some prizes. I'll see what everyone thinks? Anyways, I made a couple videos of altering my tools. The first 2 are altering my ATG gun and the other 2 are altering my Big Kick Sizzix. not the greatest videos but i think you'll get the drift. I don't have any video editing software and i used my old camera still learning the one my sister gave me, but really haven't had much time in learning it. Anyways i'll stop babbling and you can watch my videos.

embossing Tinfoil!

So yesterday, Cricut Me That posted a tutorial on how to emboss tinfoil. I've seen other tutorials and other people do it before. But yesterday her video just really inspired me.  We may have used more tinfoil playing around that cooking or saving leftovers! My husband may wonder where all the tinfoil went but we had fun!

Here are a few things we embossed and decorated too!

This is the Christmas tree Emboss folder

Added some CTMH Sparkles

The Spider web emboss folder. used black staz-on ink and gold emboss powder

These are just a few of the 2x2 embossed folders

this heart we used red sharpie to color in the words and outline the edge.

now that you've seen some cute stuff done hope your off to go play too!

Nestabilities Storage idea!

I have one set set of the Nestabilities! Wish I had more, I just love the set i do have. but i am always loosing them as a matter of fact one is still MIA! My room is a natural disater, I'm still waiting on the national guard to come rescue me! So anyways, while working on a card i had this brilliant idea! I used the cut from Wild Card Cricut Cartridge on page 46 and made several different size cuts to fit my Nestabilities Dies Label 1.  I cut the flaps off two of them as you will see in the pictures. Adhered it all together. Beautifully decorated it with CTMH Olivia Paper

I also decorated this cute lil composition notebook for all the swaps I'm in and hosting!

Cupcake wrapper!

This is so cute its from Sizzix XL Die.  Its cut from yellow for the base of the wrapper and lilac for the extra flowers!  The centers are "skittles" (not the candy!) Do NOT recommend using the "skittles" on wrappers for small children!
