Secret Project ** Revealed **

Here it is, after what seems like a one week project taking a month to do, I finally finished it. I had a few ideas on what I wanted to do with these pieces. (The cardboard squares came out of the Cosmo Cricket's 9,000 piece kit) First, I was going to use these as photo dividers in my photo boxes, but then I thought that it would never be seen, it would always be put away in a box. So, I decided to make a little album. On each of the inside pages, I wrote a little note to the boys and shared some of my favorite stories with them. The paper I used for the notes is actually from a notebook that I bought from Wal-Mart on clearance. I inked the edges with Distress Ink (Ranger). The patterened paper is from the Brenda Walton's Small Wonders Boy line.

To put it together, I cute the pp to size of the cardboard. Covered both sides with Mod Podge- Matt, added all my pics and embellishments and covered it again with Mod Podge. After I added the notes, I sealed it also to protect it from getting ruined.

I have a few other projects I am working on, so check back. If you have any questions, just ask!!

Last few Sneek Peeks!

Ok, I finally was able to upload some more pics. Here is the last 3 peeks of the project:

I'll posting the final project tonight, along with all the instructions. Again, sorry this has taken so long to post.. My computer hasn't been very nice to me lately.

Have a great day!

Creative Cupcakes

Just wanted to post real quick on the cupcakes I made Friday night for our Garage Sale. Total time, including baking for everything to be done was about an hour and a half. Here is what they looked like packaged:Supplies: Vellum flowers:Cloud 9, Popsicle sticks: Wal-Mart candy aisle, Brads: Making Memories, Crystal Stickles: Ranger, Other: Ribbon, Baggies (also in the candy aisle at Wal-Mart) & adhesive.

Slight Error causing Delay

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've tried to post pics to the blog but everytime I get an error. So, until it gets fixed I cannot upload any photos. Sorry for the delay, I have completed the project and a few other things, so once I figure out how to fix this problem I will have a lot to share with you.

Until then, have a great week!

Secret Project {Day 1}

So, I tried posting the pic of the project yesterday, BUT, for some reason my computer was acting up and wouldn't allow me to. So, crossing my fingers, I hope this works.

Like I said in my previous post, I am going to give you sneek peeks of the project throughout the week and hopefully I will have this done by this weekend. So, without further a do, here it is:

Don't assume anything yet. This is only the first day. Keep checking back to see it get completed.

Have an excellent Thursday bloggers!

Secret Project {Intro}

I have come up with this project that will most likely end up taking me ALL week to do, but hey atleast it's a work in progress!

Each day I will post a picture of part of the project, when I complete the project I will post the whole thing with all the details.

So far, I have one part done- I would post a picture but it's past midnight and I don't have any natural light to get a good snapshot, so it must wait until tomorrow. Check back often, this is going to be great!
