December LSH design team project

I had a lot of fun designing for a lil scrap of heaven's design team for the month December 2013. I altered a canvas in order to have a nice décor piece to display my Christmas cards. I have uploaded a video onto my youtube channel and have provided a link below. I hope you enjoy watching and give it a try yourself! Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year!

Leaky Shed DT Project

So I have procrastinated for long enough and I am finally posting another project.

Here it is... my Nutcracker Sweet clock. Yes, it is a real working clock with the bonus of storage! The die cut of the clock face is from Leaky Shed, the papers are from Graphic 45 and the design is all my own. I drew, cut and pieced together the frame of the clock. I covered the clock with Graphic 45 papers and also fussy cut A LOT of images from the paper to embellish my clock. I painted the clock face then used stickles and other glitter glue to decorate it. This project took me a VERY long time and I still think it needs more embellishing although I am told that it looks finished. I am one of those people who loves embellishments so you can see my reason for hesitating to publish pictures. Speaking of pictures...

 

  

Graphic 45 Design Team 2013 Audition

This grandfather clock I thought would be a perfect 3-D project for the "Nutcracker Sweet" line from Graphic 45, since God father Drosselmeier (I think that was his name!) appears out of nowhere sitting on the clock in the hallway. I was sure people would make a giant tree and I wanted to do something original. It wasn't until about a month after I made this that I came across Jim the Gentleman crafter's video on You Tube, where he made one as well. So much for that original idea! ;) I figured, well mine is a little different, it has drawers and shelves, as well as the Sugar Plum Fairy and flowers doing their dance for the subjects of the Nutcracker. So it's a little different.

Here is a picture to show the scale of the clock. Yes, that is my front door, it's that tall 

Here is a picture of the clock face prior to installing the clock parts.

The bottom drawer, tall enough to fit glimmer mists in!

All characters are popped up at different heights so they all stand at various levels, for a more 3 dimensional look.

The Land of Sweets

 My friend's daughter LOVES Paris, so for Christmas I created the Eiffel Tower for her room. There are 2 secret compartments. One is in the base, the other is in the neck of the tower. I placed a eyelet screw in the cap of the tower so she can hide her special jewelry in there from her sister! The cap also has a Tim Holtz Memo Pin so she can place her favorite picture of her and her friends there. I needed to put something there so it looked nice when she opened it, so I made her a hair clip.

I am so excited and nervous to announce that I am auditioning for the Graphic 45 design team. I have chosen a few of my projects to submit and hope they will do the trick! :) Wish me luck!
