Vintage Sewing Cabinet Before and After!
So I Modge Podged (my first ever attempt) some of Stampin' Up!'s Elegant Soiree Designer Paper on the top and the drawers. I kept the original hardware, gold really isn't my thing but I thought they were still fitting.
Since the cabinet is wider than 12 inches I had to piece the papers together to make them wide enough and added an accent piece.
I then took some of Stampin' Up!'s taffeta ribbon and Modge Podged it in the grove around the top.

Halloween Is Almost Here!
Here is a reverse making card that Theresa Argonza-Gomez made. Short story on this card is that she made a mask/stencil out of the scraps after using the Big Shot to cut out a tag from the Two Tags Die. Sponge the background and then stamp overtop.
The last card is a surprise card by Lisa Horton. Although it is beautiful from the outside, the inside is even better!

How to: Fix a Snazzy Antique-ish Frame Before and After
Oh, I forgot to take a before picture because I was SO excited to work on fixing it. Just use your imagination and you'll be fine.
Although, I would love to claim this trick I can't but I can't remember where I heard it first. I am thinking, Martha, Extreme Home Makeover, or the Create Channel (I do not have cable so we can eliminate the HGTV channel). Anyway, whoever it was had a snazzy cake decorating bag with all kinds of tips that they used and probably used a different type of material. Time for a true confessional: I do not cook nor bake. Nope, I just used my electric skillet for the first time and it was on a craft project. I am a great collector of cookbooks and fancy kitchen things though..... someday, someday.... So, I did not have a cake decorator bag in the house and honestly I didn't want to spend the extra $ on one. I though about the old hole in a baggie trick, but then went to Lowe's. Oh Lowe's. They must of known I was working on this project because they made the perfect product just for ME!

Halloween Banner: Pennant Die
Although the letters do not show up real well in these pictures, in person they really shimmer just enough to make a difference.
Love it! Thinking about making your own pennant? Love the pennant die? Head on over to my website to get your hands on one of your own! Click here!
Halloween Buffet & Spooky Garland
I then attached the bats to the vine by using hot glue. Can you spot the small green bat? That is the size of the Bitty Bat Punch. I also punched out several bats using this punch and attached to the vine.
Here is the overall view of the garland that I made. Love the big bats! I'm thinking about making some more and hanging them. How fun would that be!
Here is what the garland looked like originally, when I purchased it from a craft store chain. I did like the look of it but really needed something that fit in my scheme better. So I spray painted it black, added black glitter, and bats, then called it a day!
Remember, my Spooky Candy Jar? Check it out here! Plus, you'll see the great card and luminary that I made.
