ALTERED PUMPKIN

Hi Everyone!

Today I'm sharing a pumpkin that I had started last year before Halloween, but didn't finish it so I put it away.  I had forgotten all about it until I went to get my Halloween decorations out this year, and there it was, so I thought I should probably finish it.  I'm sure I wasn't planning on finishing it the way I did. I've noticed that on lots of my projects that I don't like or finish, if I put them away (not usually for a whole year lol), when I go back to them, I have another idea and I'm actually glad that waited to finish them.  I'm really glad that I waited, because I'm very happy with how it turned out!  Let me know what you think?

Recipe:  Plastic pumpkin

Card stock cut into diamonds and put on with modpodge

Sanding and various inks to make it look distressed

Flowers from Michaels that were orange & yellow (very boring), so I used various Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks, ink pads & black paint to jazz them up. Used hot glue (black by MS) to adhere them.

Paper clay that I  added lots of black paint to, made base at the top & the stem, which after drying I put a few coats of black paint on.

I twisted different colors of 22 gage "Fun Wire" and added them to the base of the clay so they would be secure once the paper clay had dried.

Memories........

FB is such a great way for people to find each other.  One of the gals that worked on our cake topper for our wedding found me there and posted a picture it.  I can't remember how I found out about www.http://youtopthecake.com  (think it was a magazine), but when I went to their site, I knew I just had to have them make ours.  Sheryl and her business partner hand make each and everyone of these with polymer clay.  I work with polymer clay, but could NEVER make anything like this!

They shipped it in time and it turned out perfectly, they got everything to the T. My dress, jewelry, everything including my 4 leaf clover on the inside of my arm (St. Patty's Day Baby).  We were married in December at the Hershey Lodge in PA, it was absolutely wonderful! If you need a cake topper for your wedding or any other occasion I would encourage you to check out the website I listed above or you can contact Sheryl Caketoppers over on FB.



Isn't it BEAUTIFUL????!!!!! You should click on the picture to see every detail.

Was going to post a picture of one of the favors I made, but can't seem to find it.  Since we were being married in Hershey, PA, thought a Hershey Kiss would be perfect.  Found the idea in one of my Polymer Clay Idea Books. It's really cute, as soon as I can find the picture I will post it.

Thanks for stopping by!

New, New, New!!!

Hi Everyone!

As you may know, I recently moved and I wanted to thank our WONDERFUL realtor.  He really looked out for us and went way beyond what you would expect or even imagine a realtor doing!  So, if you're looking for a place in Northern VA, drop me a line & I'll give you his #!  Anyway, I thought the house from Wild Card was the perfect fit for the card I wanted to make him. I think it turned out really cute, let me know what you think!

I made this some time ago, so unfortunately I don't remember the recipe.

As for the other "New" News......I have a brand new signature, watermark & counter thanks to the WONDERFUL Veronica @ http://www.vkdesigncompany.com/  She has been sooo helpful and patient since I am so clueless when it comes to computer stuff.

Gilby and I love comments.....His tail just wags away when he sees me smile!

Breast Cancer Awareness Challenge

Hi Everyone!
I am so happy to be posting this card tonight!  Theresa, "The Scrapbooking Queen" has had a challenge over on her blog http://thescrapbookingqueen.com/ for all of us card makers & scrappers to make a card for Breast Cancer Awareness month. 

There are so many wonderful cards that she has received and there's still time to get your in. Just go visit her blog for all the details! The best part of this is that she will be taking all of the cards we send her to a local women's center and they will deliver them to all the women who are battling this horrible disease!

I'm very pleased with how my card turned out.  A dove represents Hope, Peace and Tranquility, which is what I want all these women to feel.

The cart I used was BB~the Dove and Vine on the front were cut at 3" and the Vines on the inside were cut at 3.5".

Hope you like it!  Gilby just LOVES comments...his tail just wags away!

Thanks for stopping by!

Puppy Hugs,

Wendy
