Ways to use it challenge

The way to use challenge on Splitcoast this week is to somehow incorporate the computer into your project. It could be a card, scrapbook page, or an altered object. I chose to do a Center-tie fold card. I found the template on Mirkwood Designs.

I saw a card made in the gallery at SCS using this image made by Stamps'nCoffee. I loved this image and PMed her to ask if she would be so kind to send me a few images. Not only did she send some of this image but also a few other house mouse images. Isn't she great?? I know exactly who this card is going to.....

Dollar Find Friday!! (Easter Tree)

FINALLY!!

Today's dollar find Friday is going to be a tad different. Instead of just altering one thing that I found for a dollar I'm going to be doing a project with a few inexpensive items.

Easter Tree

Supplies:
Spanish Moss- $1.99
Topiary tree- $2.99
Egg ornaments- $1.19
Copper mini bucket- $1.49
Sandpaper (not pictured)

Adhesive- I used both hot glue and tacky glue



Step 1- Cut off the bottom of the tree foam so that it will fit into the container.

Step 2- using small amounts of moss, wind it into a flat disk shape as tight as you can. Repeat as much as necessary to cover the entire top of the tree.

Step 3- Adhere the moss discs to the tree with hot glue


















Step 4- Using scissors, trim the tree.

Step 5- Sand the rough edges of the foam

















Step 6- Spread the top of the foam base with tacky glue and sprinkle moss on top to look like grass

* I cut the moss into tiny pieces with scissors

Step 7- Use hot glue to secure the tree into the bucket.

Step 8- glue the egg ornaments on the top of the tree with hot glue and finish as desired.
