This one's a Valentine's card that was sent to a friend.
And here's a few more- a birthday card and a Valentine's card.
A little stamping and embossing for the 'Happy Birthday' card and some misting and masking for the Valentine's card.
2. I've become a spray painting maven! So early last week I watched The Nate Berkus show. One of the bits was on thrifting and giving total makeovers to free or cheapie pieces. That got me interested so I perused the internets and found this lovely lady who spray paints and paints nearly everything! So, I made a pit stop at a local thrift store this week and bought my supplies & got to work. Frankly, the power of some spray paint is utterly amazing. So take a look at this...
When it was all said and done i wished that I'd taken a before so you could see how ugly that cookie jar was-straight out the the 80's my friends, and not in a good way. Those frames were just plain black but didn't suit my new scrapbooking room.
And that project got me thinking about painting some furniture. And I was smart enough to take a before picture and a few pics of the progress! Here's a sneak of a my latest project...
Yeah, I worked in the driveway in the cold amidst the piles of snow.
3. My thrifty discoveries led to to a little neighborhood adventure yesterday and I discovered Power's Salvage Shop. Seriously?! It was awesome. There were collections of what some would consider junk but I thought it was fantastic.
4. I've discovered 'The Chew'. It's awesome. This week I learned to make Chicken Kiev. Well let me rephrase that-I watched them make Chicken Kiev. I wasn't getting enough Clinton Kelly in my 'What Not to Wear' quota anyway. ;)
5. My local scrapbooking shop, The Paperie, is having a little Valentine's celebration, 'Gourmet Cupcakes & Sweet Cards', tomorrow morning. I can't wait to try some cupcakes from 'Sweet Love Bake Shop' & make a cute V-day card.
Have a great weekend! Tomorrow I'll be posting some more pics of M's bedside table & a few other spray painted treasures!

ReplyDeletegreat misting on your valentine card!
ReplyDeleteYou should start making more cards because you are good at it. Those are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI spray paint everything! I even have done hinges and door knobs. I have a project for this weekend if the weather permits.
Awesome!!! :) I also recently discovered the joys of spray painting! I found a really nice wooden tray on clearance at Hobby Lobby for a tad over $3. I had my hubby spray a coat of flat black on it, then used Mod Podge to stick down a piece of black & white houndstooth wrapping paper. It looks fantastic! :) Can't wait to see how the table turns out!
ReplyDeleteLove those cards! I am not much of a card maker either, but you are right that they are a great way to use up scraps and try something new.... I should go for it!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are fabulous. I need to make more cards too.
ReplyDeleteI am really no good at spray painting but love what you have done.
ReplyDeleteI have been collecting things to makeover with paint for a while now, but a little intimidated by the process. What spray paints did you use? Your pieces look great!
