Day 9 - Pre K

For today's project, I have a page for Dax's  school album. Here is his Pre K page.

I did hidden journaling. I will probably do that throughout the whole album.

Day 8: P.A.D

I have been sick, so that is the reason for a lack of a project for the past few days. I was feeling better this morning and surfed the web for some inspiration. I ran across Birds Cards new post of a pumpkin treat bag cutting file. I thought they would be cute to make for Dax's class for Halloween.

Here are a couple I have done so far. Now, just 22 more to make...LOL

 (sorry for the glare of the flash)

Birds Cards has some awesome free cutting files, as well as, free digi stamps and other things.

Day 4: P.A.D

Today's Project A Day project is the start of a mini album. I only had time to get the cover done today.

I'm using Simple Stories Smarty Pants collection for this mini. This is going to be an album of Dax's school pictures, beginning with Pre K and going through 12th grade. Now, he is only in 1st grade, I sure hope it doesn't take me 11 years to finish it...LOL!

P.A.D Day 2 & Day 3

Time got away from me yesterday and I didn't get my Project A Day project upload here to my blog. I was beginning to think I was going to run out of time today too...lol

Day 2: DIY Photo Canvas

 Sorry for the poor photo and the streaks. I was trying to get it all finished yesterday and couldn't wait for the mod podge to dry.  I made a step by step video of how I made this.

Day 3: Painted Frames

I didn't have a chance to make a step by step today. I hope to add it at a later time.  

I bought these framed from Walmart in the craft section for 4.98. They were bare wood. I designed a stencil in SCAL and cut it out of contact paper on the Cricut machine. Then painted then removed the contact paper. 

These are going in my bathroom also. I haven't gotten any photos in them yet. I need to find something. Hey, maybe I could get my super talented scrappy friend Danni to color me some images....hmmmmm   LOL

Day 1:October 2013 P.A.D

I was really excited about participating in Oct 2013 Project A Day, an event on facebook. I got right up and got busy on my project.  

For today's project I decided on an altered candle. I am redoing the main little bathroom and I decided to make some decor. I have had this beat up candle literally for years. It needed to go in the trash bin, or get a much needed makeover.  Guess the makeover won out. I think it turned out super cute. 

Here is a step by step

 It started out as a green candle

Since it is for decoration only and I have 

no intentions of burning it, I gave it a

 couple coats of grey acrylic paint.

I picked out a few papers from my 

stash that fits into my color scheme.

 

I wrapped them around the candle and glued 

the edges together. Then added some canvas 

twine to finish it off.  I also painted the brass 

candle holder white so it would fit in better.

Big Nose/SNS

WOW....where did September go? I swear, I need to stop blinking. As a new month begins, it brings with it a new sketch from Sketch~N~Scrap.

the sketch

my take

 

I used Simple Stories Say Cheese collection. Though it is mostly geared towards Disney, it has a lot of fun elements in it for non Disney projects. I love the colors in the collections.

 

As always, be sure to go check out what the other design team members created. And get your entry  posted for your chance at the prize from this months sponsor.

Whew who, Project A Day starts tomorrow!  Are you joining us for this event? What is it you ask?  PAD is an event the my friend Kim is hosting over on facebook. 

This is for fun only, so if you don't get a project done or worked on on any given day, you will not be reprimanded.

Your project can be anything, scrapbooking, card making, home decor, an organizational task, a room redo, painting, jewelry making,  basically anything that you would consider a project.

Hope to see you there!
