Vintage Santa rolling Snowball Card

Wednesday, November 25, 2009


Vintage Santa rolling Snowball Card
Made with a old Vintage Card reproduced .by me. Wood Frame measures 15 X 12 and is painted in a Silver with some Black streaks in some areas giving a Antique Look.
Background is done with a collage of mixing scrapbook paper together, On the edges of the frame I embellished them with both red and green beads taken from two old broken Necklaces I had in my Junk box.
The Santa Card measures 9 X 6 and is framed out with Red, Green, and Ivory Buttons.
In the center you can see Santa rolling a huge snowball and in the middle of the snowball I made a tree with other smaller buttons and a clear plastic star at the top. I used a silver small heart for the tree stand.
I did make the tree from Styrofoam board to give it a 3 dimensional effect. I covered it with green felt, then put the buttons on.
Merry Christmas

Multi color Desk Button Cone Tree
Handmade by me and measures approx.10 inches high.
I do have a bottom for it that I made from a empty can of peanuts and some scrapbook paper I will include for you until you can find a stand of your pleasing.
I kind of just mixed several light color buttons on this one. I put a organza ribbon at the top and placed a clear plastic star behind it.

Completely made with shades of Pink and Ivory buttons, at the top I have made a yo - yo from some Heritage Pink Lace I found in my scrap drawer. I added a small chain of small pink faux pearls below the yo - yo and in the center you will see a gold tone heart with a pink cabochon in the center.
Used poster board for the cone and covered with left over felt, then formed the cone and glued together in the back (Hint it helps to tape to hold in place then glue) the rest I think you can figure out

Lady Bug Ornament

Wednesday, January 7, 2009


I have my front porch all decorated in Lady Bugs in the spring and summer, I bought these Lady Bugs years ago and had no clue what to do with them. Thinking I could do something with them for my porch I thought and thought and this is what I came up with.
I basically cut 14" of cotton crocheted lace, ran a gather stitch at the top of lace, when finished I pulled the thread (use a strong thread) until I formed a circle at this point you want to work with it until you get it the position you want. When it is set the way you want it pull threads tight and knot a couple of times.
I then hot glued the Lady Bug.
These are now lining my window sill and they are really a attention getter.
