{Scrappy Goodness} Altered Crown

Today I want to share with you an altered item I created using Simple Stories So Fancy Line.

It is this crown shaped wall hanging for my daughter's room.  I picked up the paper mache shape at my local craft store.  It only took my about 30 minutes to complete.  It came together really quick.  I first painted the edges pink and used the polka dot paper to cover the top.  I added glitter to the edge.  It helps cover up some of the imperfections in my cutting. Then I started embellishing until I was happy with it.  I loved that Sn@p Card saying so I knew I wanted to use it somehow.  I'm really happy with how it turned out.

{Scrappy Goodness}Christmas Canvas

Merry Christmas!  Today I wanted to share with you a collection of small canvases that I made using the Basic Grey Evergreen Bundle from FotoBella.

I started with 2-4x4 white canvases and 1- 3x4 white canvas.  I then painted them with a metallic red color.  Selected the base paper, cut to size and then adhered to the canvas.  From there I selected from all the embellishments in the bundle to create little groupings.  These are hanging right next to my front door.  They make me very happy when I walk through the door.

{Scrappy Goodness}Poinsettia Wall Hangings

Welcome!  Today I wanted to share with you a wall hanging that I made using the Basic Grey Evergreen Bundle from FotoBella.

I found these poinsettias place-mats at the store.  I immediately thought they went perfect with my bundle. I just needed to figure out what to do with them. They I realized the would be cute wall hangings.

I started with two 4x6 sheets of paper.  I then created these little collages on each of them and attached them to the place-mats.

{Scrappy Goodness} Halloween Banner and Sign

Are you getting ready for Halloween?  I know I am.  I have used just about all of my MME Frightful Bundle this month to create Halloween decor for my home.

Today I wanted to share with you a banner and photo frame I did using the ready to frame 8x10 set. When I was trying to figure out what to do with the these, a friend gave me the great idea to turn them into a banner.

I selected three of three of my favorites and punched two holes in the to of each.  Then I cut two 6x8 pieces of paper and punched two holes in the top of those.  I alternated the 8x10 and 6x8 and threaded some ribbon through the holes.  Then on each of the 6x8's, I created a little cluster of embellishments with handmade flowers I cut from my circut.  Easy as pie.

I then hung my pumpkin and ghost from this post right below it so my house is ready for Halloween.

A few close-ups:

Now, sitting on the bookcase right below the banner is this picture frame.  I picked up an 8x10 black picture frame at the dollar store.  I added in one of the 8x10 ready to frame pictures and then added a few embellishments and more of the handmade flowers.  Another easy as pie decor item.

And with that, I am ready for Halloween this year with a bunch of handmade frightfully beautiful decor items.  It is not to late to grab that bundle and make your own items.

{Scrappy Goodness}Halloween Tray

Hello, I have another Halloween decor item to share with you today.  I used the MME Frightful Bundle from FotoBella.

I honestly can't remember where I picked this tray up at.  I have had it for a few years.  I generally change out cards depending on the holiday season.  You could also take these cards and use them in your Halloween Project life spread once the season was over.  This actually only took me about an hour to complete.  It came together so fast.  I just looked at each card as a small individual layout.  I didn't really worry too much about what it would look like once I was done.  I took a few minutes to figure out which 4x6 card should go where.

Are you planning any fun decorations for this Halloween holiday?

{Scrappy Goodness} Enjoy the Moment Box

Hello and Welcome.  I was in the mood to do something crafty but didn't feel like scrapbooking.  I had a round paper mache box in my closet that I have been trying to figure out what to do with.  I also still had the paper flower kit left over from my Basic Grey Fresh Cut Bundle from FotoBella

I thought the flowers would be awesome on the top.  I measured the size of the box around and cut my paper accordingly.  I then cut some holes in the top to put the brads from the flowers through.  Once I attached my flowers I added the leaves and tag to finish off the top.

A simple quick easy box.  Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but it was easy and fun to make.
