Project 365 Challenge/Days 40 & 41 - Think Storage!

The theme for these past two days of projects is storage minded. Another common theme is repurposing...making a container into something completely different than it was.

Day 40 - Love Birds Keepsake Box

The focus of this project is on Fancy Pants Designs’ completely adorable Love Birds Collection combined with Glue Arts Adhesives, of course! For Valentine’s day, I wanted to make my daughter a box where she could keep all her memorabilia from her relationship with her beau. She is very creative so I knew that she would appreciate having a nice place to keep photos, ticket stubs, letters and other memories. I used papers and stickers form the Love Birds Kit and paired it with some other yummy stickers and chipboard from Little Yellow Bicycle’s Cupcake Love Collection...along with flowers and other bling, of course you know I couldn’t make anything plain. hehehe!  This project will be featured as my design team project on Glue Arts’ blog. So keep checking in there for it and be sure to leave a comment. Who know's you may just win something on their blog for doing it! Here are a few photos. You can check out my gallery for more showing the steps in making this. Big thanks to J.B. & K.W. for being good sports and letting me use their photos and allowing me to post on the internet. ;D

Day 41 - Sweet on You Container

In an effort to be more eco-friendly and eco-minded, I decided recently to turn the packaging from some Glue Arts’ refills into some fun Valentine’s containers. I shared the first one with you just the other day, Day 39’s May Arts Gift container, and now here is one I made for my sweet niece for Valentine’s Day.

A peek inside the lid!

Here is what it looks like filled with some goodies!

Day 37—Love Birds Pink Dot Card

I recently shared with you one of my new digi  sets, The Loving Tree Collection.

 I used that set and Adobe Photoshop to create this digital card. 

Here is a preview of that set:

Did you spot these project at Winter CHA 2011?

If you just returned home from CHA, you may 

have spotted these projects for Glue Arts that were on display at the show. 

This fun apron was crafted from a white ribbon purchased at Michaels Arts & Crafts store

and transformed using amazing ribbons from May Arts, the Glue Glider Pro with fabric bond

adhesive cartridge, some buttons and extreme adhesive squares.

Or maybe this coordinated set made with Glue Arts adhesives 

Hero Arts Stamps and beautiful papers from The Girls Paperie.

If you haven't checked out Glue Arts Blog or facebook page, be sure to make some time this week to check it out. And if you are a fan of digital artwork that can be used to create digital scrapbook pages, used for embroidery, used for creating web banners, hybrid cards, t-shirts and more... then be sure to check out mygrafico's monthly giveaways. This month’s giveway is a sweeeeet deal!

No Sew Ribbon Apron - an excellent gift idea for the holidays

What could be better than combining two favorite things on a project? To create this no sew project, I paired up May Arts ribbons and Glue Arts adhesives. Imagine what you can create using ribbons and these adhesives. Check out the Glue Arts Blog for project instructions and supplies.
