10 Gifts in 10 Days ~ Day 5!

Altered Canvas

SORRY this didn't post yesterday! Not sure why, It was scheduled just never posted

You can do a variety of things with canvas. You can paint it, emboss it, add paper, add bling add pictures, etc.

I've done numerous canvas over the years. Here is one of my favorites! 

I inked the canvas with multiple colored inks. Stamped the with a flourish stamp, embossed the flourishes with embossing powder. Added the large Flowers. Punched Holes in the canvas to add the "jump rings" and added ribbon to give the "jump rings" a better appearance. The middle Canvas has a "vellum quote" added with a piece of ribbon too.

This is currently for sale in my Etsy Shop HERE

10 Gifts in 10 Days ~ Day 6!

Upcycled Window Screen Picture Frames

I purchased a few of these "window screens" at the local Re-Store.
These "window screens" are not a typical "window", its specific for screens, which means no glass, thinner, which also mean s lighter too! I've had them for quite awhile and have been wanting to do stuff with them and finally got one done. Of course it was a super simple & easy project. I made it for my oldest daughter.

First I touched up any scuffs and scratches with white paint since she wanted to keep it white. I just needed to add some twine to hang the pictures. I tied knots on each end of the twine and then used Picture nails (which are teeny tiny) and nailed them thru the knots. To add some extra security I used some super strength glue after. We just took the pictures she wanted and some tiny wooden clothes pins and voila!

This next one was just as simple. First, I "matted" the pictures. Second, I measured and then cut some poster board, which is for the backing. Third, I adhered the "matted" pictures to the poster board. Fourth, cut out some cut file images that my daughter had chosen. and Voila a picture frame!

If you haven't been to your local re-Store and you love doing or want to do things from Pintrest. Well, this is a Pintrest DIY Recylce/Upcyle Dream store and I suggest leaving the debit/credit card at home on the first several trips. Oh, when your spouse finds out about how much time, money and dreaming you've been doing there, you didn't hear about it from me :)

10 Handmade Gifts in 10 Days ~ Day 3!

Coasters! 

I had fun making these. I had purchased these "wood" coasters at Craft Warehouse when I first moved back here to Oregon. I had never been in a Craft Warehouse before, quite cool! That was just over 3 years ago. Some days feels like yesterday others feels like a lifetime ago.

Anyhow, as I have been going thru my scrapbook and crafting items the past 6 months or so and destashing i found several sets of them. I've had them sitting out on my desk, many times they've gotten buried under other projects. Then I fond them again just recently for probably the 100th time, but this time I had ideas! Simply because of the paper that I had been cleaning up from another project inspired me to make these. I made 3 sets and am still torn on what to do with the last 4th set.

I picked out my papers and trimmed then and corner rounded them. Then sanded the coasters. Painted both sides and the edges to match the papers. Then I adhered the papers to the coasters. Then I sprayed them with Lacquer from a (spray paint can)! Yes, they have it in a spray paint form now! how Sweet! So much easier than brushing on with a paint brush cleaning the brush in between each coat and worrying about the paint brush marks.

Here's my Mickey Mouse ones!

Today is the Worst & Best Day in History in the USA

Ok, not sure its the "worst day" but definitely the top 5 worst days in US History is Today! Most people don't know what today is or what happened today many moons ago. But as sad and tragic as the day is in history, its also one of the Best, well for me anyways! 

So, have you figured out what the other thing is yet? Did you cheat and google it? On Sunday morning, December 7, 1941 America's naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was attacked by aircraft and submarines of the Imperial Japanese Navy, killing 2,403 American military personnel and civilians and injuring 1,178 others. The attack sank four U.S. Navy battleships and damaged four more. It also damaged or sank three cruisers, three destroyers, and one minelayer. Aircraft losses were 188 destroyed and 159 damaged.

It's also, the Day I was born, decades after Pearl Harbor! Dec. 7th @ 1pm (EST) born in New Hamphire (NH), yes I'm a New Englander born and breed! but now I'm a proud Oregonian and LOVING it! 

I have a Gift for You on my Birthday, my way of celebrating! but as I see it, i don't know your birthday so, there for its your Birthday Gift from me :)

I have this festive Birthday MTC & SVG Cut File Free for you!

10 Handmade Gifts in 10 Days ~ Day 1!

Upcycled Cabinet Door ~ Verse of the Week

I purchased some "used" cabinet doors from Craigslist. I have quite a few, they had an an assortment of "designs" and sizes. I've been slowly painting them into "chalkboards.  My daughter fell in love with this one on Pintrest and ,I myself had seen it, pinned it and thought of her and then made it.

See Pin HERE

This would make a great "Gift" for any Occassion!

To turn the cabinet door into a chalkboard was pretty simple.

1. Clean with clorox wipe and then wet rag and dried.

2. Sanded the areas I wanted to paint (depends on wether you want to paint the whole cabinet or just the area where you want to turn into a chalkboard.

3. Applied a base coat of plain white base paint to the entire cabinet door.

4. Applied First Coat of Chalk Board Paint. (there are many different brands out there).

5. Applied Second Coat of Chalk Board Paint.

6. Applied Third (final) coat of ChalkBoard Paint.

7. Painted the "outer" parts of the Cabinet door with white paint, took 2 coats).

8. Painted the outer edge of the door and the "decorative frame" part a light blue/aqua.

9. Played in MTC (Make The Cut) Program and experimented with different fonts to get a similar look to what the gal has on hers that she hand painted. (Sorry, I don't recall the fonts I used and No, i didn't write them down anywhere).Found a Label in my own  MTC Files, (see below for Freebie) and designed the "label" on my cabinet door" and then cut it out from white vinyl.

10. Applied the Vinyl to the Cabinet Door.

11. Prepared the chalkboard for writing by taking chalk and rubbing it over the entire chalkboard area twice, cleaning in between.

For the "label" I used, without the words, just the blank "label"
