September Challenge #38 ~ Color Challenge

School is back in session, leaves will start falling and it will start getting cooler day by day. Well, probably any place but South Florida! HAHA! I am from NY and I sure do miss those fall days =) 

Connie is back at it with another fun challenge! This month is a color challenge, and the idea is to use the color theme above (fall colors!)

Altered Paintbrush

One of my crafty friends sort of conned me into doing a swap with her and a few other crafty gals....the catch was that we needed to alter a 3 inch paintbrush. Uhh...uh-oh! Thats so out of the box for me! But, I'm a sport and decided to go for it! And I'm kinda glad I did =) I love how my brush turned out! 

Ta-Da! I forgot to take a picture of the brush beforehand but it was just a plain, light tan color....BORING! So, I took some ultra sparkly pink paint, and got rid of the tan! I added a fun flower to the front, brown ribbon and some My Mind's Eye washi tap (to cover up the silver spot!) I put rhinestones along the handle, added a cute butterfly and some fun tags! 

I took some mini clothespins, added some bling to them and then attached this great tag to it. The banner came from Jaded Blossom "Candy Charms & Banners Die". The saying is from their "Craft On" set. I inked it with Close To My Heart "Gypsy" Ink. 

And then I have this amazing tag (yes, I'm thrilled with it!). The 2 tags and little scallop are from Jaded Blossom's "Treat Tag Die" set. The Sentiment and lady also came from Jaded Blossom. It was a bonus stamp set with one of their releases. I inked the lady with Close To My Heart Black ink and the sentiment with their Pear ink. I attached it with Lime twine from My Minds Eye. 

Angela's 30th Birthday Hop

Welcometo “Angela’s 30^th Birthday” Hop! So glad you can join us!

12 super crafty girls would like to share with you their birthday creations. Hopefully this will give you all some inspiration to make something for that upcoming birthday!

If your looking for the start of the hop, your in the right spot! I can't wait to show you what I made!

I used my Cricut Imagine for most of my card. All the monsters and the word BOY & #5 are cut from Notebook Doodles. I printed a full page of the images and then I hand cut the monsters and letters that I needed. I used a new sizzix embossing folder for the background and some fabulous gray chevron washi tape from My Mind's Eye. The twine is also MME! Oh...and birthday is cut from my cameo! 

On the inside of the card, I used all Jaded Blossom items. I used the fancy topper die for the back and the happy birthday is stamped from the sweet birthday wishes set.
