Steampunk Birthday Mini Altered Chipboard

I altered a mini clipboard easel I picked up at Michaels for a friend's birthday (then my son got sick and I missed her party, so hopefully I can give it to her soon!) I used graphic45 Steampunk Debutante and DCWV Tattered Time papers and fussy cut out the pieces I wanted. I started by painting and inking the clipboard and then arranging the figure similar to the tags I did for Velma's January tag swap. The huge difference on this one is that I actually took apart an old wrist watch and glossy accented on some gears and metal from the watch. I embellished the metal portion of the clipboard using different trims and beads. I created the sprays using clear faceted beads and pearl beads. I finished it off with a bit of ribbon, and some more watch parts (oh yeah and a few paper flowers) and that was it! It really is prettier in person where you can see how it opens and closes, but maybe I'll have time to shoot a video before I see my friend.

Well tonight I need to start on a couple of scrapbooks my sister ordered, but off to work for now.

Have a great day!

Thinking About a Giveaway!

Okay, I'm thinking about a giveaway to get things going on my blog and youtube . . . I know I don't have many followers (and even fewer subscribers - lol), but I do get a good amount of people checking out my blog on a daily basis, sooooooo, I think it's time for a giveaway. Of course it will be scrapbook items.  Stay tuned for information.

I Can Do Videos Now

Woooo whooo, the piece that goes on the tripod to hold my iPhone finally came so now I can video the baby girl album!

Since my husband said he's taking me to some antique stores, it will have to wait until later today.

Sorry I Haven't Posted the Baby Girl Mini Yet...

Okay, I am totally ready to post a video of the baby girl mini album I just finished last week, but I am still waiting for the iphone tripod mount i ordered so I can do videos with my phone. I did a video of my Tombstone Arizona scrapbook but couldn't get the disc to finalize properly and have given up on that video camera! Soooooo... I'm really not a flake, just trying to get a video system in place. Thanks for your patience.

Have a great day!

Birthday Boy

We had the fun Chuck E Cheese party, but I think this little celebration before anyone else in the house was awake was way more special!

Happy Birthday my precious baby!
