For my project I made my first altered box. I wanted my theme to be my Scrappy Sisters, since they inspire me so much. I used the DCWV All Dressed Up paper as well as many embellishments that I have received in RAKS. (including the box itself)


I left the sides of the box plain because I think the paper is so pretty.
 I used diamond shaped plastic gems as the feet and finished each corner with a tiny bow and bling.



For the inside cover I first covered it in paper, then I made a frame around it with light blue lace. I used cameo with a picture of three sisters dancing together on it as the focal point. I added a small butterfly, a bling embellishment, and a small flower to soften it a bit. The black embellishments were made with clay from molds(that I also made), and were lightly rubbed with silver rub n buff.

Thanks for checking out my project.

Ladybug Series Part 1

Hi Everyone. My Daughter McKenzie will be turning 4 next month. I can't believe it, I feel like I just left the delivery room last week. It's true that they grow up too fast. For her party she had two requests, that I just couldn't deny. Firstly she would like a red ladybug themed party, hence the title. Second she asked for a party dress. This will be shown in a future post. 

These are the Invitations that I made:




This is a gift I altered from a  light green dollar store purse. She is very into little purses now to hold her small toys. I didn't show the jean strap because I didn't alter it.






I also made her and altered canvas as a gift for her room.
more to come...

My Baby Altered Canvas

I made this canvas to showcase a picture I love of my daughter McKenzie. I wanted to keep the focus on the photo, so I decided to use browns, coppers, and golds.

Unfished Projects

I have decided to work on a couple unfinished projects lately. So far two are complete. Project number one is a Chipboard Vanity I made using Cynthialoowho's template. I used the Far East paper stack.



The second project is a nameplate I made for my desk.

I want to send a  HUGE Thank you to my Scrap Sis Becca for sending me this award. I love ya buckets.


To have the honor of receiving the Stylish Blogger Award you must always pay it forward to other bloggers who are fairly new to blogging or to bring more fans to those you enjoy following as Misty did.
With this award you are to share eight things about yourself. Then pass the award to eight others.



I'd like to pass the Stylish Blogger award to:
1. A Lil Scrap of Heaven

8 things about me:
1. My real name is Christine, but I prefer Silver (which is my pen name)
2. McKenzie is my beautiful 3 yr old daughter
3. I named my baby after my pen name not the other way around
4. My boyfriend and I are total cat people. We have 3 named Spike, Willow, and Angel
5. I love anything Vampire Inspired (see cats names ;). )
6. I listen to audio books when I craft. It helps me be more creative
7. I have the best scrap sisters anyone could ever have. One of which sent me this award.
8. I am shy in real life. No really!

Altered card deck

I decided to make something to help me choose what project to work on or give me inspiration when I am feeling blocked. This card deck is what I came up with. I will also be making a challenge deck in the future.

My first mini album

tiny mini roses and small lace flowers

I love making these tiny paper roses. They are a bit smaller than a dime. And the lace flowers are the ones I used on my chipboard armoire doors
