Owl Bookends

Here’s my newest set of owl bookends that I started yesterday.  I painted them pink and tan, and covered them with orange, green, and pink papers.  I painted the bookends a really light icy blue, pink for the edges, and white for the outside.  I also added flowers and hearts to the bookends and some little silver gems at the bottom corner of each one.  The eyes also have little gems in them just for some added sparkle. This set would go great with the Circo Love and Nature bedding available at Target stores.  They would be a fun addition to a little girl’s...

Hedgehog Bookends

I just finished a new set of hedgehog bookends.  This set was designed around the Love and Nature bedding which features owls, hedgehogs, birds, trees and mushrooms.  I did my bookends with the hedgehogs and mushrooms, and added some hearts and flowers.  You can view another set I did with the owls in a previous post.  These hedgehog bookends would go great with some owl shelf decorations or wall hangings (which I haven’t made yet, but plan to) in a bedroom decorated with this style of decor.  Click here to view this set for sale in my...

New ABC 123 Bookends

I finally finished the silver and taupe set of ABC 123 bookends I’ve been working on for ages.  I used papers in grey, taupe, white and black and colored the edges of the blocks with silver distressing ink.  I did the edges with brown ink first, and it looked terrible, so I went over it all again with silver and they looked much better.  Probably better than if I’d just done them in silver to begin with because now it’s a dark silver and the edges stand out better. The outer edges of the ends are little funky because I did them in silver as well.  I...

Love and Nature Bookends

I just finished a set of bookends I did for a customer to match her daughter’s bedroom set.  I found that these bookends match the Love and Nature bedding collection available at Target (I’m not sure if this is the bedding set my customer has as I went by photos she sent me).  The set is really cute with owls, birds and hedgehogs. I did these owls in pink and green paint, and added papers in pinks, greens, orange, and blues.  I also added some patterned flowers, as well as pink and blue hearts, to the ends.  The flowers stand out in the pictures but they...

Christmas Light Bulb SVG

I thought I would let everyone know I just put up a post at craftedge.com of a Christmas light bulb.  I have an ornament and stocking to put up as well, which I’ll hopefully get done tomorrow.  I’ll make a post when I do get them up though! I just got some extra bookends tacked together so hopefully tomorrow I’ll get to post a photo of the ABC 123 set I’ve been working on. I managed to hit Michaels today and get some new Christmas stamps, paper, and a Xyron cartridge.  They had a 20% off sale today, so I guess I saved a little money, although it...

Things I’ve Been Working On

So I continue to be a little unmotivated this week.  I was hoping to get a new cartridge for my Xyron machine, but never did.  Then my blade broke on my saw so I still have to get a new one.  I figured I would post photos of what I have done so far, even though the projects aren’t yet complete. The first one is this set of Countdown to Christmas blocks.  The paper I used is off white with lots of gold, glittery snowflakes all over.  I then added red glitter to my numbers.  I was happy with them until I added some mod podge to the whole works of it.  I thought...
