whimsical wednesdays bringing out the old challenge #41

happy wednesday :) this week over at WW our challenge is to use something weve bought and havent used in a long time or never have used. i dont buy what i wont use so this one was a task for me at first until i got looking through my stamps, which i dont have many of, and came across the 2 ill show you in a minute. i bought these in 2000 from stampin up. i just HAD to have them thinking id use these lil cuties on every card i made .. guess what.. i have them alright but this is the very FIRST time using them! how ridiculous is that! do you have anything you bought but havent used in this long? im so ashamed of myself.
i should go on a shopping trip to make myself feel better about this :)
so are you ready to see my had to haves.

heres the first

 this cutie is from the set called costume bears. i colored her in with distress ink . i used my blades on my cutter for the b/g papers which are prima and used distress ink on the edges. added some light yellow pearls and   i added distress stickles to her tutu but cant capture them in the photo so well.

the sentiment is from stephs set called whimsical fun vol.1 

heres part 2 of had to have ;) 

now how in the world did i neglect this sweet lil thing.

i colored him in with prisma pencils. added a couple of buttons and a faux corner the nifty papers are 7gypsies.. easy easy :) i think this is a cute guy card.

 

this sentiment is also from the whimsical fun set. 

thanks so much for visiting today. hope ive inspired you to play along with us this week :) be sure to check out the rest of the DTS neglected stash :) have a great rest of day :) your sweet comments leave me with a smile. thank you for that. xxxshelly

love is in the air whimsical wednesday challenge # 40

happy wednesday :)  hows your week going so far? good i hope.

this week  over at WW we have a fun challenge for ya dealing with the word love. create a home decor project for valentines day or just for love in general. be sure to check out the super fabulous love shtuff  ( sorry read my  beloved morning mutts comics before i posted this ) the rest of the dt has revealed for us all :)
 i created two projects so this is gonna be a lil pic heavy :) 

im also entering these into the following challenges: 
the pink elephant :photo inspired 
anything goes: the one i love
cupcakecrafts: all you need is love

the first project is a vase i frou~froud up a tad

 

for the flowers i cut some circles out of shipping paper and  tissue paper then spritzed them with homemade spun sugar distress ink glitzy spray

  on the brown flower i added spun sugar distress stickles. i also added some crinkle ribbon around the top of the vase. i love crinkle ribbon.

 

 

  these hearts are precut glitzed up chipboard.i took some wire and added random beads then wrapped it around the bottom part of the vase. 

the heart is another precut piece of chipboard from my stash. i made the hat pins  using 2 heart shaped chunky beads. 
the stamped sentiment is from stephs set "with love" which can be seen and purchased along with others just by clicking ~>here <~  these are really fun sets and stamp perfectly so be sure to go grab ya some up :)

so...now project #2
i made a pocket decoration out of aida cloth. you can use burlap (which  i dont have but love the look much better)or any cloth you like. if using regular cloth add a piece of cardstock in there against the back for stability. im using mine for decor but this makes a really cute lil bag for a gift too.

 

i cut my cloth into a 6X6 square then brought two corners together then the bottom, like a diaper basically. then i hot glued where the three met. 

 

i tucked in a  paper doily that i inked with distress ink.  i added some crinkle ribbon and tulle plus 2 heart pins a button and some prima flowers 

 

i added a frame for a photo which i attached a key embelli to. and then some pretty crocheted butterflies that one of my old DT leaders leah made.

pretty lil things arent they :) i also added some pearls to the bottom.

the sweet sentiment is from stephs set" with love" also. i cut the heart using my cricut and create a critter cartridgeusing ivory cardstock inked and dotted it up some.

finally done arent ya relieved :) you probably got through with your entire cup~a~whateva with this one eh :)  thanks so much for sittin here so long i do appreciate your patience :) if ya havent checked out the rest of the dt reveal be sure to refill your cup cuz youre gonna spend a lot of time oohing and aaahing :)
have a great day and i adore your sweet comments :) XXXshelly
