Dresser for Dresser Swap

Here's the dresser I made for the July dresser swap here on LSH. I love it so much that I'm having a hard time parting with it! LOL (I'm glad I have enough paper and trim to make myself an identical one!)

 What I did different than the first one I made:

  • I created the files in Illustrator and turned them into SVG's to cut on my Cricut. Made it so much easier to square everything up and have things go together perfectly. I even included score lines so I knew where to fold. 
  • I lined the inside of the drawers and used white gesso for the inside of the top part and the outside of the drawers to hide the cereal box I was using. (Okay, frozen pizza box from the most amazing chicken alfredo pizza!) 


 Supplies used: 

  • Papers by K & Co and Recollections. (Cream paper is K & Co and turquoise paper is Recollections.) 
  • Brown seam binding 
  • Wavy trim from Michael's $1 bin Cream ribbon from Michael's (don't remember the brand) 
  • "Feet" are from the $1 store "table scatters" I found a few months ago and match the blue perfectly! 
  • Metal studs for my iRock 
  • Vintage Photo Distress Ink

Key to My Heart

WOOT WOOT! Y'all are excited, eh? The first download with the new blog!!! I've been busily creating stuff now and have for your download enjoyment an SVG file that will work with SCAL (Sure-Cuts-A-Lot) and MTC (Make the Cut.) I haven't tested in MTC as I have SCAL 2, but it should work the same. I know I'm a little late for Valentine's Day, but I figured what the hey, I'm always using keys in my stuff lately! Something I'm totally obsessed with!!!

The zip contains both the png files for those who want to print them out and hand cut them. (See, I thought of those who don't have a Cricut, Eclips, or similiar!)

New Year - New Blog!

New year...reNEWed vigor in crafting/designing! In the past year we've moved into a new building. One that is geared towards artists! I'm so excited about the move. I've really been getting back into crafting and designing since getting in here. :) I now have my own craft area. It's flippin' amazing! I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful space! I got my first Cricut. A 6x12 Personal Cutter second hand and fell in love with it. I started designing SVG files in Illustrator and have been having a ball with those. Ended up getting a WONDERFUL deal on an Expression. (Thanks to my loving Uncle who picked it up for me and let me pay him back for it!) I'm the proud owner of an acid green Expression. (K, the color could have been purple, but I'll live. It's a flippin' Cricut!) I finally finished a new project. I made a wall hanging for Jeremy. :) I love how it turned out and I'll have to post pics later of it finally hanging up after I figure out where to put it. LOL
