MAY MONTHLY CC CHALLENGE: Tic Tac Toe Challenge

MAY MONTHLY CHALLENGE: Tic Tac Toe Challenge

This is the challenge and you  needed to select a row.  I chose the top row using a sun shape, welded image with gypsy and buttons.  

This is my project.  The sun is from Simply Charmed and has little buttons on the sun rays.  The sunglasses are from Paisley and there are a few buttons and embellies on them.  Mr. Sun was welded using my Gypsy and Mickey Font.   The sun and title were embossed.  I added some ribbon from M's and  faux stitching with a sharpie 

Six fun A2 cards

I have been busy busy making cards for different challenges.  These are all A2 size and will be sent with many other cards to Cards for Soldiers.  I used some of my carts I haven't had a chance to use which was great.

Project Day 1- Altered Frames from Michaels for my daughters 

My two daughters have blessed me with two granddaughters this past 15 months and a third will arrive in July.  I wanted to make something special for them.  I first saw these frames when a friend of mine Yvette in the One Hour Thread was making altered frames in December for Christmas presents.  These are only 4.99 and are just under 12 x 12.  They can be set on a table or hung on the wall.  

The first thing I did was take some Acrylic paint and paint all the side edges including the top front edges.  I also painted around the glass edges.  The glass does not come out but can easily be scraped clean if you make a boo boo.  This makes it more finished.  For an even more finished look paint the back also.  Next I measured (twice to make sure) where the cut out should go and then cut out using my exacto knife and mat.  I then decorated  the page like I would an album page. 

Paper used DCVW Ciao Bella  (Pink) and Mariposa (Blue)
