Graphic 45 2014 Design Team Audition

Okay I may be nuts, but I am going to try this one more time. 

3 strikes and your out! That's what they say!

Yes, I have tried 3 times....I skipped last year!

I think sometimes other plans are made for you and it turned out to be a blessing that I was not chosen to be on the team. That being said.......On to my first project...............

This is a 5X7 photo frame, I took the glass out so that I could make this dimensional. Yes, I did cut out each and every one of those darn poppies. I then layered them to give the dimensional look I was going for!

Here is my second project, I love the way this turned out. I altered a vintage lunch box!

It is so fun! I put wheels and a knob at the top. I then altered the inside to hold a small altered book and some blocks and note cards to write down notes about your child. I used ABC Primer Collection and I had some vintage teacher cards I used. This all about the vintage look! Love this!

This would look so cute displayed on a shelf in a child's room!

Now if that was not enough Memory space in the small altered book, how about project #3?
This is a altered book with those vintage teachers cards and ABC Primer combined to make this fabulous book to capture all of you child's school pictures and notes!
ADORABLE!

                  Back page   - I am missing 2 pages, but I think you get the idea!

This I thought was a cute idea to use as a prop each year with a new number on it for school or birthdays!

Now Each of these are separate projects, they look adorable all together! FYI the book also fits into the opening on the lunch box shelf. Like I said so cute on a shelf in a child's room! Decor and memories all in one!

This is a big box! I found this at a vintage sale for 5 bucks! SCORE!

I have been waiting to do the perfect project with it and I think I achieved it! I have no idea what kind of box this was used for, but I turned it upside down to use it. I LOVE this. So many mini projects in this Olde Curiosity Shoppe, don't you think?

 So much to look at.......my funny is the jar with the double light bulbs on it. I made it out of a Glade plug in! LOL! The stupidest things you can use. (My husband is always throwing something away and I am always taking it out of the garbage) Oh no! Does this make me a garbage digger?

 Check out the cool arm I picked up at the coolest shop here in Colorado! I have another I am saving for another treasured project!

 Did you spot the dress form. She has a clock key sticking out of her back! Ouch!

 Just some closer shots......hope your not bored yet!

 Another shot with the magnify glass next to it rather then on top.

 Last shot!

 Here is decor piece I will hang up for Easter.

Hand rolled flowers!

 This piece is not so much a Graphic 45 piece-however I wanted to show you how I create dress forms.
She is a tall piece. She is taller then the box and that is pretty big. I have more detailed pictures here on this.
It really quite details to show here in this post.

 Back side

But I know you know who made her shoulder pieces!

And as I final-I wanted to show one of my favorite blast from the past!

I loved every minute of creating this clutch!

Thanks for looking!

The Artist on the Block - Block 2 & 3

The Artist on The Block take 2!

Meaning 2 more blocks to share with you!

I showed you the middle block of the three blocks that I won.

So today I will share with you the small block and the large block!

I am telling you...these are addicting!!!

I need more! I have so many ideas!

Okay here is the little one!

Front

I wanted this to look dimensional and vintage.

So I used paper that resembled mixed media, then added buttons and snaps.

 Side view- of course I had to use Distress inks and ruff that paper up.

 Top, side, front

 Back

On to my next block-I wanted it to look like a old beat up trunk.

I achieved that by using grunge paper, distress inks, and paints.

I used Tim Holtz Box Corners, which really makes it look like a old

trunk. I really beat up the grunge paper to give it that old worn look.

 I even made small handles

 Here are the two together

 I really like the way these turned out!

 I am telling you....the ideas running around in my mind are endless!

I must get these dies.

 Here are my 3 Artist on the Block creations. 

This is the next best thing to chocolate! Yes you read that right!

 I am hooked!

Thanks for stopping by.

Have you heard about The Artists on The Block?

It had it's big debut at CHA!

It is a Eileen Hull Design!

Well, I was lucky enough to win these 3 blocks and the Stencil Girl stencil. Some might say big deal!
I would tell them it is a BIG DEAL! You can create some pretty awesome things with just a block!
You need to visit The Artist on The Block blog and see what a block can do! Or shall I say, what you can do to a block!
You can also follow them on Facebook!

I am sharing the middle size block with you today!

This is what I made with my block. It is a music box and it plays "What A Wonderful World".  One of my all time favorite songs. I love the way this block turned out. I sure hope you share in the beauty of this block!

Here is a front/side view

This is another front/side view but the other side

View from the top

So see it is a BIG DEAL!

If you enjoyed this post, I will post tomorrow with the small and large blocks!
