Hi Everyone!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've tried my hand at making an ATC for a challenge over at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/872610696088060/" target="_blank">Girls, Giggles, Glitter and Glue</a>. We had several rules to follow -- the most challenging (for me) being we couldn't use decorative paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIYRgj_j4pkTFflfjTzOYG2k468o8NpBNZny7s-xR9WzF6QkQEPhjnMR1Kf9DVUMi0wM9noLevXcKc6wSfx5rJqCMNWFFS1EFD4P7QHibVr8ravJXt-lbxjl8OTl8hVk9cH8SGHhNIOby4/s1600/20140704_100412.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIYRgj_j4pkTFflfjTzOYG2k468o8NpBNZny7s-xR9WzF6QkQEPhjnMR1Kf9DVUMi0wM9noLevXcKc6wSfx5rJqCMNWFFS1EFD4P7QHibVr8ravJXt-lbxjl8OTl8hVk9cH8SGHhNIOby4/s1600/20140704_100412.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a>So I used a piece of scrap chip board as the base. After I gessoed it I covered the front with flat lace seam binding. Then I added a scrap of white lace. The lady is a vintage image that I found online. After I printed it I covered it with a thick coat of tacky glue. Once it was dry I fussy cut the image out and moistened the back of the paper with water.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I gently rubbed off all of the paper and the ink was left on the tacky glue coating. Once I adhered it to the ATC I decorated the card with little bits of bling, lace, flowers and pearls by the yard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you like it!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take care!</div>

Hello!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple of months ago I created a <a href="http://christyscraftycorner.blogspot.com/2014/03/bohemian-chic.html" target="_blank">wall hanging</a>. I used the Bohemian Bazaar G45 paper and my Mother fell in love with it. She said that she would love something like it for Mother's Day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How could I resist?? This is what I came up with!!</div>

Hi my crafty peeps! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm here today with a canvas that I made that was inspired by a sketch over at <a href="http://gloriadesignschallenge.blogspot.com/2014/04/challenge-6-sketch-with-twist.html" target="_blank">Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog</a>. Not only did they have a sketch for us we were challenged to use 1 old and 1 new item in our project. I used pearls by the yard for the old and washi tape that I have just received from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PinquePeacock" target="_blank">Pinque Peacock</a> for the new. :-)</div>

<a name='more'></a>The "canvas" is actually a frameless picture that I picked up from the dollar store. I gave it 3 coats of gesso to cover the print and went to town.<br />

I lightly sprayed the background with pink and purple shimmer mist, layered flat laces and added a doily for the background.</div>

I'm here today with my final DT Project for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe</a>. I have had such a GREAT time the past couple of months working with Regina and all of the DT Members -- I just can't believe that the term is coming to an end.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have learned so much working with Regina and the group. I have tried new techniques, refined my style and pushed my design style.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you Regina for giving me the opportunity! I hope you enjoy today's project and I hope to work with you again in the future. :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, as I have found myself in a creative whirlwind over the past few months, one thing has become CRYSTAL clear -- I am a messy crafter -- can anyone relate? I tend to pull embellishments that I think I *might* use on a project and have everything laid out in front of me while working on a project. By the time I finish the project I am drowning in my craftermath....Today's project is something that I have put together to try and corral all of my gorgeous bits and pieces.</span><br />

As you can see I have it set up with several drawers, an open area on the top and space on the side to corral my scissors, paint brushes and pens.</span><br />

Hi! Thanks for stopping by!!<br />
<br />
A lot of times when I create I have a vague idea of what I want the end result to be. Through the process of creating I may, or may not, have a project at the end that matches my original vision. I always enjoy this process and it's results.<br />
<br />
This was not one of those times.<br />
<br />
I *knew* exactly what I was going to create as soon as I found out that this week's <span style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">DT project for </span><a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #44177c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe</a> was the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/configuration-box/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" target="_blank">Configuration Box</a> SVG file. Not only could I "see" the end result I had an entire story to go along with it in my head!<br />
<br />
Does that happen to you? It was so clear to me! I had such a good time creating this altered book -- I hope you love it as much as I do!!<br />
<br />

<a name='more'></a>I did video the entire process, if you would like to see how I created this Fairy House. At the end of the video you'll find several close up pictures of the entire project.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I knew that I wanted to do a Spring-time spin on Steampunk -- and I think it came out really cute. After putting the box together I inked the edges and added pearl and lace trim around the box.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I grabbed a filigree piece to use as the base of the design.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once I had arranged the buttons, gears and beads I covered the whole collage with gesso. I did a light coat of thinned brown paint (for the grooves) then painted the whole thing with purple and pink paint.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi! I wanted to share with you a canvas that I have altered. I am in love with how it came out! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-04-01105129.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-04-01105129.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />

I started the 6x8 canvas by covering the board with some wide lace from my stash and layered on some texture past in the corners. Then I went to town using bits and pieces that I've had left over from different projects.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-03-31182216.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-03-31182216.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Isn't it amazing what a coat (or 2) of white paint will do?? Once it was base coated I went in with ivory and pink shimmer mist and highlighted everything. I did use a paint brush to apply for more control.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-04-01105243.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-04-01105243.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-04-01105322.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-04-01105322.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once that was dry I lightly brushed some Sparkling H2Os (Chestnut) over the background. I think it really made the lace and texture paste stand out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-04-01105146.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-04-01105146.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, I couldn't finish the project until I used some of the amazing <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PinquePeacock" target="_blank">Pinque Peacock</a> goodies that just arrived! I think the stick pin was taylor made for this canvas and the bottle caps are holding my DIY dew drops perfectly!</div>

It is official! I am D. O. N. E. with winter!! I know that the calendar says that it is spring -- but Mother Nature did not get that memo....so I'm here with a special DT project for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe</a> today to help remind her! :-) The file I'm working with is the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2014/03/big-girl-elisha-jean-and-friends-printable-set.html" target="_blank">Big Girl Elisha Jean and Friends</a> and I really think they are too cute for words!<br />

I'm featuring Mikala Ann from the printable stamps. After coloring her I lightly misted her with shimmer mist. The colors on the canvas are inspired from a shirt that Cassie had brought home over spring break. :-) She had used yellow, orange and pink on a tie dye shirt that she made at school -- I love it so much I used it as a back drop on this canvas.</div>

Hi!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I just know that Spring will find us eventually......as I write this post we are expecting yet ANOTHER storm...sigh....I'm hoping that this super cute card from <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe</a> will help to take our minds off of the cold!! LOL I think that this<a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2010/04/flower-pot-shaped-card-template-and-cutting-file.html" target="_blank"> Flower Pot Shaped Card</a> is perfect for this time of year! It can be used for so many different occasions AND the file comes with printable sentiments to match any need. :-)</div>

Hi! I'm here today with a DT project for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe</a>. Our inspiration was the color green. :-) When I heard the assignment, was something spring like. I am so over winter this year that I can't wait to see the pretty flowers popping up!! So, I used elements from the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2013/08/ribbon-tag-shaped-card-template-cutting-file.html" target="_blank">Ribbon Tag Shaped Card</a> and created a pretty tag with a beautiful flower collage. </div>

I picked up the paper stack from Mambi a while ago and I just LOVE the papers in the stack. I used a variety of flowers, pearls and stick pins to complete the look.</div>

Hi! Today I have a design team project for the <a href="http://suzysmarty1.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Completely Christmas</a> challenge blog to share with you! I am so excited about the Completely Christmas challenge blog! Why don't you come by and play??</div>

When I saw this Snowflake tree stamp just knew that I wanted to use some snowflakes that have been patiently waiting in my stash! </div>

After I colored the tree I lightly sprayed it with a pearl glimmer mist. Once it dried I fussy cut it out.<br />

Hello. My name is Christy and I'm a Flower-holic. LOL Yes, I'm still focused (the word obsessed may have been used in my house recently) on these flowers, so I decided to try something new with this amazing <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2014/02/paper-flower-template-and-cutting-file.html" style="background-color: white; color: #44177c; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Paper Flower</a> file. For today's design team project I altered the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2012/04/baseball-and-bat-shaped-card-settemplate-cutting-file.html" target="_blank">Baseball Card</a> from <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe</a>. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I took the card base and added a clock face that I had made in SCAL. The clock is 9 layers thick to give it some dimension. I covered the whole base with a layer of lace and then started adding my embellishments. I cut out several cogs and gears out of some light weight cardboard I have, then I added on my lovely paper roses. I finished off my tucking in some items from my stash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-03-01164743.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-03-01164743.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once I had everything arranged how I liked it, I covered the whole card in my DIY "gesso" so everything was white. Once that dried, I broke out my glimmer mists! You just have to love extra shine!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once everything was dried and attached to the base I thought it needed something extra, so I brought out my tiny black pearls by the yard and ringed the whole card. </div>

Thank you for the opportunity to audition for Graphic 45's 2014 Design Team. The following are several of my favorite projects, as you can see decor and 3D projects are where my crafting heart lives. I hope you enjoy these projects as much as I do.<br />
<br />
First up is one of my latest projects. :-) I have used the Graphic 45's Bohemian Bazaar paper and I just LOVE how it came out! I have mixed together a variety of embellishments and I think I have achieved a great bohemian look.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-02-28085356.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-02-28085356.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the top of the project you will find a charm I made dangling from the hanger. It is a beautiful collection of Tim Holtz baubles, pearls and findings from my stash. I also added a chip board piece from the Bohemian Bazaar paper collection and dressed it up with a metal bird that I sprayed with glimmer mist. It is finished with some lovely red gem brads. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-02-28085719.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-02-28085719.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Sprinkled through out the project you'll find a great mix of embellishments. I have made a lot of them -- I'm still LOVING the paper roses. I have also made the sweetest pearl baubles that I have used through out the project. All of the metal elements have been sprayed with my glimmer mist and I have altered the 2 silk flowers to make them fuller and more lush.</div>

I think that the 2 stick pins add a really nice touch. They provide a nice bridge between the two sides of the project. I treated the doily with glimmer mist and the flat back "pearls" you see are actually hot glue dots that I have colored with a pink pearl powder. Also tucked into the project are sweet ribbon flowers from my stash.</div>

I'm also including some past projects, so you can really get a feel for my style. I just LOVE tags and I wanted to try my hand at making one. Flowers, lace, bling and buttons.....OH MY! These are all of my favorite things all in one place and I love how it came out.</div>

Up next is my 3D blocks, what I like the most about these them is that on each side is a different inspirational saying so that I can match it to my mood. The arrangement on top is resting on a belly band I made to hold all of the blocks together.<br />

Through out the year I co-chair a local craft fair at my local church. Some of the projects we do are ones that I design and cut out. I bring in all of the pieces and teach the group how to assemble the project. The gum ball machine was inspired from something I found online. I designed all of the SVG files used and it was a big hit with the group. I think these will sell out quickly at this year's fair.</div>

<br />
The final project I have for you to look at is a centerpiece that I made for a fundraiser. I had only had my cutting machine for a couple of months when I made these tough chicks. ;-) I ended up making 40 of them and they looked GREAT on the tables.<br />

At the top of the project you will find a charm I made dangling from the hanger. It is a beautiful collection of Tim Holtz baubles, pearls and findings from my stash. I also added a chip board piece from the paper collection and dressed it up with a metal bird that I sprayed with my<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTZ1ty9JRhU&feature=c4-overview&list=UUDL2J3mACknXrzFBEg9q2xQ" target="_blank"> DIY glimmer mist</a>.

<br />
I have been having SO much fun this week playing with <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe's</a> flower files! The two files I used are <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2014/02/paper-flower-template-and-cutting-file.html" target="_blank">Paper Flower Template and Cutting File</a> and the<a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2014/01/layered-flowers-templates-and-cutting-files.html" target="_blank"> Layered Flowers Cutting File</a>. They are so beautiful and go together so easily I just can't stop making them!!<a href="http://christyscraftycorner.blogspot.com/2014/02/fun-with-blocks.html" target="_blank"> Last week</a> you saw some of the flowers topping my inspiration blocks and I'm back today featuring them with a this week's DT project.<br />
<br />
The idea for today's project came when I became interested (obsessed) with tags. :-) I've been watching youtube videos and I've been mesmerized by them. I've never made any before and really wanted to try one -- so this is what I made.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/0613dd81-50cd-4a91-a335-3b6dea210a9a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/0613dd81-50cd-4a91-a335-3b6dea210a9a.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
I am so happy with how this tag came out. :-) I just love this look!<br />
<br />
I've been cutting out the flower layers when ever I've had leftover space on the mat. I collect the pieces and when I sit down at night I'll shape them all at the same time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-02-23074814.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r144/clcakes/2014-02-23074814.jpg" height="209" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Once I had made all of the flowers I started playing with the arrangement on the tag. I pulled out a lot of embellishments from my stash and just started playing. I knew that I wanted to use lace and some metal pieces that I had just picked up from Hobby Lobby.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I felt like I still needed something more. I dug into my stash a little deeper and pulled out my rhinestone mesh, ribbon roses, and a couple of buttons -- NOW we are getting someplace!</div>

To finish it off I added a tassel, some bling and looped ribbon through the top. I really like how this tag came out and I LOVE both of the flower files!!</div>

When I saw this week's DT project for the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Cutting Cafe</a> I knew exactly when I wanted to create. (Don't forget to "like" my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChristysCraftyCorner" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page to keep up to date with all of my crafting adventures!) I had been thinking about a project where I could use inspirational sayings and this<a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2014/01/fun-with-blocks-template-and-cutting-files.html" target="_blank"> Fun With Blocks</a> file fit the bill perfectly!<br />

<a name='more'></a>I decided which four, 4 letter, words I wanted to use and cut them out with my machine. I also used the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2014/01/fun-with-blocks-template-and-cutting-files.html" target="_blank">Fun With Blocks</a> file to cut out frames for each side of the block with a circle window in it. Once I started putting the blocks together I decided that I preferred the look of the circles backing each letter.<br />

I placed a belly band around the perimeter to hold the blocks together and attached a rectangle to the top so I would have a canvas to decorate. </div>
