Altered Frame by Toni

 Hi everyone, hope you are having a wonderful month. Today I have a frame I picked up at the Dollar Store and altered it to suit one of my favorite photos of my little furry boy Bubba. This is such an easy project how you can take something inexpensive and customize it for yourself.

I did a bit of stamping on the cardstock that I used with a honeycomb stamp. Stamped it here and there around the photo. The cardstock I used is from Country Craft Creations "Bee House", a simply gorgeous collection of papers. I fussy cut some of the flowers to place around the left side of the frame to build my foundation. The florals I used are the Mini Old Gold Mulberry Paper Roses and Leaves, Caramel And Sugar Roses, Gardenia and Leaves and the Honey Roses and Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers. 

I used some BRAND NEW items from the store on this frame, first up I used Printed Beautiful Board Small Sugar Bee Hive Laser Cut Chipboard, above the corner of the photo is the Beautiful Board Small Sugar Bee Corners Laser Cut Chipboard. The gorgeous bee I used is our Sugar Bees Premium Paper Glitter Glass Bee. I also added the Beautiful Board Medium Bee Hive Elements Laser Cut Chipboard and I cut it into pieces and added 3 layers of UTEE embossing powder to it for the illusion of honey. 

Here is a close up of that pretty sugar bee. 

Then from the trinket department in the store I had to use Reneabouquets Queen Bee Clock Charms Trinket Pack. For the centers of the flowers I dropped beads of hot glue into the middle of some microbeads, wait for them to dry and then place them in the middle of the flowers. The microbeads used are No Hole Old Gold Glass Microbeads and also No Hole Pearl Glass Microbeads . 

I hope you enjoyed this project and encourage you to take a frame and do some altering to it. Wishing you a BEE utiful rest of the month... xoxo

Christmas Recipe Mini Album In A Box By Toni

Merry Christmas everyone, it's one of my favorite times of year and this year is especially important because of all we have been through in 2020. It's a blessing to remember what this season is all about and that is LOVE... we love because HE loved us first. Every year I make certain specific cookies for Christmas that are a family favorite.  I thought it would be fun to create a little mini album to hold these memorable recipes and give it to my daughter so she will always have the recipes of the cookies that filled her tummy during this time of year.  The box to hold them is a Graphic 45 ATC Book Box and I decorated it with some festive Christmas cardstock. 

 On the outside of the box I used the Beautiful Board Small April In Paris Adornment Pattern and I embossed it with brass embossing powder. I then used Christmas Burgundy Mulberry Poinsettias, Roses & Holly Leaves Flower Set for that festive look. Some Christmas greenery and tiny brass bells from my stash. I also used the Graphic 45 claw feet to rest the box upon. 

To embellish the front of the mini album I created I used one of my favoite items from Reneabouquets store which is Small Square Shaker Box DIY Kit Laser Cut Chipboard. These are so much fun to create with and have endless possibilities on what you can do with them. Inside I filled it with Beautiful Board Large First Snow Snowflakes and a mixture of Gold Fine German Glitter Glass, No Hole Glass Microbeads in Silver, No Hole Glass Microbeads in Black, and mica flakes from my stash. 

I also hung a charm I created off the side of the album, and this included Reneabouquets Tea Time Trinkets which were painted with black gesso and then white gold Finnabair wax was rubbed on top to give it a brass finish. 

The inside of the mini album was created with pockets to hold your recipe cards and decorated with an assortment of Beautiful Board Special Edition Homemade Christmas Cookies which were painted and then sprinkled with fine clear glitter for a sugary look. A Metal Clip Bookmark With Cabochon from the store was clipped on to a page for some added fun. 

If you would like a better closeup of the entire project I have provided you a video below so you can see each and every Christmas goodie used from Reneabouquets store. Wishing you a magical Christmas season, filled with health, peace and joy. xoxo

Altered Vintage Drawer and Cigar Box by Toni

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well. I don't know about you but I love having my crafty goodies  all organized and I love putting them in pretty containers. So today I have for you a couple of altered pieces that I created to hold my Reneabouquets Butterflies and also Reneabouquets Laces.

First up is a vintage sewing machine drawer that I had purchased sometime last year at an antique store. I thought it would be really fun to hold all my pretty laces that I use to create with. So here we go.

I first began by giving my drawer a coat of white gesso to prime the surface, then once dried, I rubbed the wax from a candle all over the surface and then gave it a coat of Waverly White Chalk Paint. The wax works as a resist and you can then take a piece of sand paper and distress your edges very easily. I then used Blue Ferns Jane's Memoirs paper collection to add to the outside and inside of the drawer.  

This is a close up of the front of the drawer and as you can see Reneabouquets store has so many different things to bling up your projects. All the supplies that I used will be listed below as well as there website. I decided to store all my Reneabouquets Laces in this drawer. The photo below is the sides of the drawer.                                

Now onto the next project. I started off with an old cigar box that I also purchased at the same antique store last year. Gave it a coat of white gesso and then also painted it with Waverly's white chalk paint. 

I used the same paper collection from Blue Fern (Jane's Memoirs). I used an old dresser knob for the top of the lid to assist in opening the box. All of the RB Beautiful Board that I used I embossed with bronze powder.  

 Here is a closeup of the top of the box. The handmade flowers that Reneabouquets store has are gorgeous and come so many yummy colors. I topped them with Diamond Chunky Glitter that you can get at the store as well.  

This photo is the front of the cigar box and I once again used the beautiful mulberry flowers from the store, the glass vial is filled with Gawdy Girl Diamond Chunky Glitter .

Here is a photo of the inside as well. 

I hope you have enjoyed this and were inspired to maybe dress up some of your supply containers. I appreciate you stopping by and have a blessed day !

"Let It Snow" Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, it's time for a wintery layout featuring several 'NEW" products from the Reneabouquets Store. Here we go .....

If you haven't been to the RB store lately you are missing out. There are so many beautiful pieces to use in your holiday projects. I wanted to feature this gorgeous and fun to make Snowglobe Shaker Box. Plump full of pretty RB shaker bits. I just added some snow to the top and sprinkled a bit of the Diamond Glass Glitter. I stamped the word "wish" on the front and tinted it with Lindy's magicals. 

Here is a close up, and isn't the Printed Beautiful Board "Diane's Snowman" adorable. I also just added a bit of the snow to the hat and the base of the snowman. 

The store also has many new mulberry collections, including these pretty Timeless Blue and Navy Blue roses. Accompanied by the Burgundy Poinsettias for a pop of contrasting color. And Frosty Kisses Premium Paper Butterfly matches perfectly !

So grab yourself some hot cocoa and visit the RB store to get some products that will provide that magical touch for this Christmas season.... hugs

Vintage Trunk Mini Album by Toni

Hi everyone, and happy Monday ! Today I have a new project filled with Reneabouquets goodies and I'm so excited to share it with you.

Reneabouquets has such a gorgeous selection of beautiful board, flowers, laces and trinkets, not to mention her handmade butterflies, that can take your mini album over to the next level. Sometimes I really have a difficult time not adding too much, because everything is so pretty to work with. 

On the front I added some gorgeous lace from the store and embellished it with several different handmade mulberry flowers and RB Salted Caramel butterfly. All the beautiful board used was embossed with Brass embossing powder. And what about that brooch...isn't it gorgeous. 

The handle on the top of the album is actually a door handle which I whitewashed it and then lightly embossed it also with the brass EP. 

To open, you lift the top and the sides come down (almost like an explosion box). And inside I have waterfalls, accordion pages, as well as tags, and hidden pockets. You can actually see all of this more in detail in the video below where I will take to page by page and share details of the album. 

Here are a couple pages of the album featuring on the right, a waterfall section and on the left and accordion fold out tiny mini album. 

This is another photo of a couple pages just to show you how pretty also is Reneabouquets chunky glitter glass that she carries, also in several beautiful colors. Oh and did I mention trinkets??? The charm I created on the left has some of the beautiful board dangling as well as a Fairy Princess Crown and on the left I have the Queen Bee Clock Charm. And this month Reneabouquets is offering a coupon for trinkets in the store.

"Lazy Daze" Mixed Media Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, hope you are having a spectacular month! Today I have a mixed media layout I created using several pretty pieces from Reneabouquets store. Let's get started !

I love dimension in my layouts so for the foundation I took some cardstock and ran it through a Sizzix embossing folder "wood grain" and also inked the embossing folder to give the texture an old wood appeal. Then I cut the cardstock in strips and distressed the edges. To create dimension, every other strip of cardstock I applied cardboard to the back and that raised up those strips on my layout. This provided a "shiplap" look. The photo used really provided my color palette for the layout, so I kept it pretty neutral with pops of red and black shades provided by Reneabouquets pretty mulberry flowers. All supplies are listed below. 

I did use several beautiful board pieces from Reneabouquets and they are gorgeous in their natural state, but I gave each one a little different mixed media touch. The bottom corner is the NEW Wrought Iron Panel.... gorgeous !!!!! I sponged on some green and brown paints and allowed to dry then went over it with Deco Art Crackle Varnish. For the Fancy Fall Tuckins I gave a coat of the crackle varnish and then added a bit of bronze shimmer wax here and there. 

The Clockwork gears I painted with black gesso, then crackle varnish and topped also with bronze shimmer wax. The Feather Set I embossed with bronze EP. Then to finish off the layout I included one of Reneabouquets handmade Delicate Beauty Glitter Glass Butterflies. I hope you will give your layouts a sense of dimension by trying out this simple technique... Wishing you a week plump full of goodness and "lazy daze"... hugs 

Supplies Used 

Beautiful Board Wrought Iron Panel 5x7 Laser Cut Chipboard
