Making Smiles!!

Hey there and welcome.. I wanted to share what I have made for a friend that I have made here at the Ronald McDonald House..

Her name is Rebeca. Her daughter who is 9 months old just received a bone marrow transplant. Abby has a rare disease. I have made Rebeca a Bear Banner for Abby and I have promised her that I would make her a frame for her daughter.

Here is her frame....

 I used white paper and used deco pauge on it and then cut out this design out using demask decor Cricut Cartridge.. I used Sophisticated Cartridge to spell out Abby's name and Precious out.. I changed the colors on my imagine to pink and Green. The design from Demask Decor was placed individually down and glued with deco pauge.I used green stickles and used the new Epiphany pennant and cut out her name using that punch and made it look like a banner.. I love this so much!

I hope you like this frame.. what do you think?? By the way the colors I used is exactly what her bedding looks like in Abby's hospital Room! I hope I put a smile on Rebecca's face and If i do then that's an accomplishment that i was hoping for...

I hope you all have a great crafting night and thanks for stopping by!

Sparkling Challenge!

Welcome To another Challenge!

Hey there today is another Challenge over at Scrappy Emt.  Today's challenge is Sparkling (Anything Goes)

She just asks anything made with some BLING, RHINESTONS, BEADS, GLIMMER

So you all know that I am currently living at the Ronald McDonald House in Cincinnati Ohio. The reason is because my two year old little Ethan had upper respiratory failure and  is one year post transplant (liver).

So I have been making families here at the house banners. I decorate and make animal banners and place the children's names in the middle of the character's that I create... I am trying to make my stay here a positive one. There are  so many tears and sad faces here and we are all family here fighting the same battle. That battle is fighting for our children's life. I decorate the doors here so when volunteers come to the house and take tours they see all the cute and fun banners. I get tons of thank yous and all I ask is to pay me in smiles...

So here is my banner that I have just recently finished for a family who's daughter is waiting for a lung transplant!

Her name is Leah! Keep her and her family in your prayer's and be thankful that you don't have to go through what some of these families have gone through!

To make this banner I used the Art Nouvou and Art Philosophy Cartridge. Use stickles,Tim Holtz distressing ink and liquid pearls... Thank you for stopping by.. Hope you have a fun and Crafting Day!

Smash Book/ Junk Journal Challenge

Good Morning! Today Over at Scrappy Emt Design Team there is a Challenge that I have done.

It is called Smash Book/ Junk Journal Challenge. This Challenge we had to Alter a Composition Notebook. We had to either make it for ourselves or someone else. It must be a NEW Project...We could do any color scheme we would like...and Audrey asks that we include some embellishments, ribbons, tags and envelopes.

So here is my Alter Composition Notebook. I have never done this before and boy this was so much fun! If you have never done anything like this I would recommend you to do one!!

The paper that I used for this was The Chateau Lavender Stack DCWV. I love this paper so pretty and it had everything that I needed to make this book.

Here is the inside of the book. All these images came from this matt stack!

The little paper clips is perfect for a Composition Book or an actual Smash Book.

My Sister-in-Law sales All Smash Items in her store. Its called Store Ericas Craft Room. Go check it out..

Here is the back cover of my book.

Well this is my homemade Alter Journal Hope you all liked my work.

Please stop by tomorrow to see what I have made for St. Patricks Day Blog Hop and also Another Alter Project that I have created for Scrappy EMT Design Team..
