Shabby Chic Blog Hop

If you have arrived here from Theresa- http://www.scrappyartcrafters.blogspot.com   you are on the right track. If not, please start Theresa- http://www.scrappyartcrafters.blogspot.com!

The shabby chic style has been around for many many years, originating from Great Britain, where time worn items were showcased in most country homes. Today’s essence of shabby chic is to achieve that time worn layered vintage look from yesteryear by painting, distressing, dying or tea staining. Now we bring it to you right from our craft tables.

Please follow along as the following crafters showcase their handmade Shabby Chic Accents. Be sure to visit each blog, as each artist will be having a giveaway. Also, we have a couple of awesome sponsors who have generously donated for a “Grand Prize Giveaway”. Their shops are full of shabby goodness. To qualify, all you have to do is leave a comment on each blog.

Our Sponsors

The Funkie Junkie-$15.00 Gift Certificate
Sa Crafters-$20.00 Gift Certificate

Here is my project:

I took a glass jar from Dollar Store and wrapped lace and glued with Super Duper Helmar Glue! Added lace trim on top and scrunchy trim on the bottom. Added Fabric flower, teal fibers, pearl spray, pearl necklace(from a broken necklace) a jewel(Chef Duffs Cake Supplies) and a Handmade Pin from Patti Bond i received for RAK! It goes perfect! This was my first try at Shabby Chic so I hope you like!

I HAVE BLOG CANDY!

We're Off To See The Wizard Hop

We're Off to See the Wizard the wonderful Wizard of Oz to hopefully get the Tin Man a heart, the Lion courage, and the Scarecrow a brain! But there's the poppy fields to beware of as you could get very sleepy! The Wicked Witch but we know she's afraid of water. The flying monkeys . . . just totally freaky looking!!!! You're probably still dizzy from the spinning whirling twirling house and watching all those things passing by like a nightmare expecially that Miss Gulch on her bicycle! Poor Toto hiding in the basket, but can you blame him? Don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain as he knows not what he speaks! And then there are the delightful munchkins that sing 3 octives highly than humanly possible. I almost forgot the good witch Glinda - how could I forget her --- she was just too sugary sweet to my standards but as a Good Witch goes, she was the best, but why didn't she just tell Dorothy she had the power to return all along and wait until the end - geesh!And then only bad witches are ugly --- come on now! Its the Merry Old Land of Oz! I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore Toto. . . .

We're paying homage to the Wizard of Oz today with our blog hop! So, grab your beverage of choice and those ruby red slippers of yours, click them twice and repeat after me - "there's no place like home, there's no place like home"!

We have a generous sponsor of Creative Kuts of http://creativekuts.com/ who is offering two (2) $10 Gift Certificates to two (2) lucky winners - winners will be selected by Random draw BUT you must leave comments on all the blogs today along with leaving a comment that you are visiting from We're Off to See the Wizard on their blog page, http://creativekuts.blogspot.com/, and/or like their facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/pages/Creative-Kuts/130937843644274

Also Paper House Productions 7 - piece paper assortment of 12 x 12 pieces of paper!

We have a great line-up for you today and you should have arrived from - Rhonda-http://scraphappenswithrhonda.blogspot.com/. If not, or you just dropped in to visit today, we don't want you to miss a single story of the travels of our "characters" from start to finish and would love for you to begin at the beginning of our hop -

So I made a mini table album with EAD Stickers and had a blast! Hope you like!

Now head over to the super talented  Carolyn - http://messmuddleandfun.blogspot.com/

As every good story, it has a beginning and a happily ever after - Dorothy went home and all was well with the world and Dorothy told Auntie Em - there's no place like home!!!!!! AWWWW how sweet! Hope you enjoyed my project and I must send you along your way to <insert person following you> and a place beyond the rainbow -

Happy Scrapping!
