Another Smitten Class Project

Cabinet Card Canvas




 
Each week we have a new project in the Smitten Class from Sugar Lump Studios.  This week the project was " Sweet Bebe Cabinet Card Canvas".  Nancy used a cabinet card featuring an adorable baby.  I decided to use a cabinet card from my collection.  I love this card featuring these two little girls.  I think it is a First Communion since one of the girls has what appears to be a Bible in her hand.

Following Nancy's tutorial, the collage was assembled on a 8" x 10" canvas.  Embellishments are from my stash.  It was a great project.  Looking forward to seeing what we do next week.

Another Fabric Heart


I just had to make another of these fabric hearts.  For this one, I added a layer of lace on top of the batting.  The lacy fabric is from a top I bought at a thrift store on Saturday.  The cost was $1.00.  When I saw the top hanging on the Dollar Rack, I knew I could use it in my altered art.  So I bought it and brought it home and washed it. 
It was the perfect color for the batting hearts.  Other embellishments are from my stash.  I think I'll make a few more as Valentine's Day gifts for friends.  See yesterday's post for more info on the Smitten class or click on the link to the right.

Vintage Heart

This is the vintage heart I made for this week's Smitten class at Sugarlump Studio.  Click on the link to the right for more information on the class.  I am really enjoying this class.   The base of the heart of batting.  Heart is embellished with snippets of vintage lace, seed pearls, buttons and vintage image.  The image is from my collection.  I posted the photo a few weeks ago.  What a fun little project this was.  Background in photo is a quilt top pieced by my greatgrandmother in the 1930's.

Love Potion Bottle

I signed up for an online class called "Smitten".  It is offered by Sugarlump Studios.  The first project was a tag.  I'll post a pic of that later.  This week our project is to make a Love Potion Bottle.  This is the one I made.  The image is from Design Originals.  The vintage lace and ribbon are from my stash.  I put glitter around the edges of the image and added a piece of vintage jewelry.  I really like the bottle.  Can't wait for my AZ sister to see it.  This is just the type of thing she loves.  Maybe I'll make her one.  This one is going in the Pottery Barn glass front cabinet in my bathroom. 

I'm linking this post to Pink Saturday.  Hope you enjoy seeing my Love Potion Bottle and visit How Sweet the Sound for more Pinks.
