We're all mad....

Another fun clock that I made.  I knew when I saw this print I had to get it.  It was way out of our decorating budget for the crop, but I went ahead and splurged and bought if for myself.  I figured I would go ahead and get the bigger print being that I was going to keep it in my scraproom.  It will forever be a memory of the 1st annual 2 Crafty Chicks Event!  

 I took the clock apart, by the second clock I wasn't as nervous about taking it apart.  The first clock turned out fine, works like a charm.  I hand cut the picture out and mod podged it to the clock that is from Hobby Lobby.  I added all kinds of fun things such as pearls, pearl pens, stickles, swarovski crystals, bling, minature deck of cards to make this a fun and whimiscal item.

I just received a huge order from Leaky Shed for my Snow kit and I forgot I had ordered some keys.  I think I will have to add one to this clock and I may take a small picture of Amy and I and add to the bottom of the clock once the crop is over.  It will be a great memory for me!  We are super excited about the crop and the amount of interested.  It's going to be phenomenal!!!

Don't Be Such a CRAB

Well its almost Christmas and I wanted to get mybrother and his wife a gift but I was at a loss when searching for the perfect gift.  I just so happened to be bringing a huge stickle order to this artist that painted this crab and I just knew when I saw this print it would be a great gift for them, as they live on the coast in Galveston.  Actually they live 2 blocks from the beach, you can hear the water from their palapas.  I imagine it must be a wonderful place to live.

 I went to Hobby Lobby and bought the clock and took it all apart. I was nervous about taking the clock hands and pieces off but had to do it!  I hand cut the artwork out and mod podged it to the center of the clock.  I added liquid pearls and stickles to the crab.  I then used my favorite technique that I used with my beach kit to make the sand and I put sand at the bottom on the clock along with some super cool shells I had.

I hope that Troy and Michelle love this as much as I loved making it!  Merry Christmas!

Fun Little Find

Great little find at Hobby Lobby.  I just love looking through all the neat things at HL.  I usually just look and never buy.  I'm not really much of a buyer- but this little piece caught my eye and I thought it would be perfect for this little corner in my scrap room.  Well I wasn't sure what I would put in it because the slots in the bottom were a little big.  I fixed that! I took my circle maker and some clear acetate paper and cut circles to fit the baskets, I even cut the centers out as you can see below.  I think it would be lots of fun for my stickles to go in the top compartment.  But for now this will do.

2 Crafty Chicks Event

Good Morning all you Crafty Ladies!  It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks!  Right before my Birthday/Anniversary trip to Vegas Amy Billings and I had put out word to the scrapper world that we would be hosting a scrapbook event.  Well, we were very busy getting sign-ups before I left and wow Amy did a great job holding down the fort while I was gone.   I will take you back several months...  Amy and I had been talking about how successful her crop, Cropping on the Red, had become and that many ladies had asked her to do another one.  That's when we decided to team up and have one in the Lake Charles area.  I had many clients asking for me to do something either teach classes or something in the Lake Charles area.  So the search began...we check hotels, civic centers etc...  It was so much fun searching for the right place, and boy did we find the most perfect, clean, NEW place ever!  The West Cal Event Center. We are super excited about hosting this annual event!  We have had enough response to be able to rent out the second hall- THANK YOU LADIES for the overwhelming response!  We have 97 ladies on the books right now and we still have 6 months to plan.  The event center is located in Sulphur which is about 10 minutes to the West of Lake Charles.  There will be 30+ hours of cropping fun, make-n-takes, sussies and 2 scrapbook vendors; Scrap Attack and Christy Bourgeous Designs and a few smaller vendors such as Toadilly Scrappin' Kits- Wendy Reaux and CTMH-Donna Lanclos.  There are going to be so many give-aways it will make your scrappy little hearts flutter!  We have 4 fantastic retreat give-aways, product give-aways and well a crop without a contest wouldn't be a crop right?  We will give away a spot to the next years crop with this contest...details to come later. If you are interested in finding out more information, hotel information etc...please find us on Facebook at:  www.facebook/2craftychicksinsulphur  Stay tuned as more information about the crop is released!  Again many thanks to the ladies that have signed up, you are making our dreams come true!

Sincerely and Happy Scrapping...
