Modeling Paste Challenge

If you are looking for my Grow Your Blog Giveaway please click 
Grow Your Blog Post Here

Hi Y'all

I joined in on a fun challenge from

Angela Holt Designs Challenge Blog

It offers a new technique

taught by

Virginia Dare of Dare Designs on Facebook

Check out the Technique 

Then hurry back and see how I used this 

Technique on my design

I know I Know!!!

A Little on the dark side. I was inspired by one 

I seen and had to give it a try since 

1. I had all the supplies

2. I need this texture to do it

3. I wanted to play with this stuff badly

4. I wanted to be different than the others.

So I was way different!!!!

Here we go with my Skully Guy

I covered the Altoid Box with the new modeling paste

That I had colored a dirt color and added a bit of sand for added texture

I cut up my Glittery Skully Guy and added him to the top

Then I painted him all white

Then I started my distress and staining technique

I love how this looks

the little glitter shards actually make it look like

Wet Mud

Side view offers a little rest in piece (R.I.P)

I stamped into a piece of copper

The top View

I still need to do the inside

But am undecided what

I really wanted to use this for

So there ya have it.. I had tons of fun working on this

The new Modeling Clay so fun to work with

And fairly cheap and easy to make.

Check out all the entries at

Angela Holt Designs Challenge Blog

Join in and try it out yourself

Its a fun mess to get into...

Happy Crafting.

A Challenge for My Friends

Hi Everyone...

Last year I went shopping and found a pile of 

Embroiderer Hearts.

That looked like this

I thought how fun is this

I mailed one each out to several of my sewing friends 

As a challenge just for fun

To see what they would make

With this fun little heart

Didn't want it back just wanted them to have fun with it.

I had two responses.

One From 

Deb from Mosaic Magpie

One From

Shirley from Shirley C

As you can see they conspired together

To make me a gift

That they sent back to me.

Their post about this made my eyes cry out all the tears.

They were so very sweet to me..

Such a cute set of Ornaments I now have

I had my lil lucky dog put down this past year

Man it was hard on me

And I got a new lovely Named Chuck

To come live with Bentley and I

The is one of the sweetest , personal gifts I have ever received

It really touched my heart

And I love these two ladies Lots!!

Shirley sent me a pile of goodies to go with it

And I also made a item with the little heart

I made a credit card holder

Even know I have no credit cards.

I think I will use it for my grandies pictures.

What do your think??

I had fun with my little hearts

and seeing the fun my friends had

Priceless!!!

Deb and Shirley

Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

I love you both

Happy Crafting
