Here is an upclose look at the mini buckets I made. I'm going to keep thinking of creative things to do with them....stay tuned!





Lollipop Mini Bucket Favors...

These are great as a small gift, or perfect for a party favor! I bought the mini buckets at Target for $1-what a bargain!!! and used some ribbon, flowers and giant rhinestones to decorate the bucket....If it's a birthday you could use a cupcake decal instead of the flower. (the lollipops would be better held in the bucket if you put styrofoam (sp?)at the bottom of the bucket.

Pink Heart Mirror....

I made this for another of my students. She wanted a pink/black mirror. I did the same as I did with the orange one, I put glitter on the "S" and used transfer on's to add some decoration to the Heart itself.

Orange Heart Mirror

I made this Heart Mirror for one of my students. I used transfer ons to decorate the edges and used glitter on the "C" to add some Bling!

Testing out my mobile blogging feature!

Handmade Dividers to go with Binder...

Ok So Im prepping my Binder for school and I cant find any dividers I like....Sooooooo I made these in like 1 minute! I used some bright colored card stock....and took a some tags I had, cut them in half and used those as my divider name thingys (lol whatever they are called) Next time I make them I will use better handwriting and will wait 'till the sharpie dries so it wont smudge!


Sorry about the glare....couldnt seem to get a pic without the glare.

Altered Binder

I started school again yesterday. I was accepted into a scholarship program that provides me with 12 free college credits, Yah Me!!! I need to take an intensive writing/critical thinking course every Saturday for the next 9 weeks, and we need to carry a binder to class.....so I dug up one of my old binders and decided to alter it.
This is the original Binder.....as you can see its my FAV color...PINK!
This is the completed product. I am VERY happy with it, I used a Heidi Swapp Houndstooth Paper and adhered it to the front with Glue Dots.....
I added some ribbon and cut out my name with my "Cricket", I adhered it all with Glue dots...
This is the inside.
I attached flowers to the ends of my ribbon on the inside cover so I could cover up the ugly ends of the ribbon. I then added a pearl to the middle of the flower, just for an added touch.
