Hi Everyone, it is pouring here in TX.  I finished my laundry, cooked and spent most of the day redoing my blog.  I have a headache to tell you the truth.  I am HTML out, lol.

But I had this card done yesterday that I just wanted to post before the challenge the ended.

The challenge is "FAIRY TALE"

All you have to do is use one of the many TGF stamps/images (required for all of our challenges) 

and create a Fairy Tale card or project.

Use a Fairy Tale that you absolutely love, one that was a childhood favorite, 

or one that you are living right now! ;)

Here's my card, I based it out of when Ariel - the little mermaid turned human.  I love that movie so much that I named my daughter Ariel.

Hi Everyone,  so sorry I haven't posted in a while.  We are still in the process of unpacking but no worries we are half done with the unpacking with the exception of my craft room.  That's where everything is because hubby still needs to paint the playroom SF Giants Color.  The previous owner has the room colored in New Orleans Saints.  So I have to wait before I get all my stuff is organized, I can't even find my spellbinder dies which is irritating me to no end right now.  It's only been a week since we moved in to the house and we got a lot of stuff done already including to change the carpet.

Today TradeFish Designs is sponsoring 

The challenge this week is to create "Wall Art". Any altered project that you can hang on the wall. You must also incorporate at least 1 recycled or upcycled piece onto your project (like cardboard, recycled ribbon, etc.)

***Warning a bit longer post***

Here is what I made:

Now you are probably thinking, how is that recycled.  Actually if you look very closely at the top you see something sticking out of it.  That's because this is pretty much a 2 in one Wall Decor.  A couple of weeks ago I posted a Wall Decor too.

Here is that one: 

(if you click on the picture, it will take you to my original post to see what I used to make this wall decor)

 I decided to use the back of  this one to create my project above.  I also switched my Ribbon to the crinkled ribbon I got from Stephanie the host of Whimsical Wednesdays.  I was their GDT during their Halloween Blog Hop.

Okay so my mom is a bit of a hoarder not that bad, but when I went to SF I discovered a very heavy 8.5 x 11 box so I wondered what could it be.  She has collected a box of boards (you know like the ones that are at the very end of the paper pack.  She said she was collecting it to use as a hand fan when she is hot, LOL.  I asked her if I can just have it because I can definitely use it for things, like wall decor, or mini albums, etc.

Here is a picture of it, I am adding some Mod Podge so I can add my Designer Paper on it.

 

Here is the picture again:

DP is from K and Co that I got at Michael's recently Cardstocks are from Recollection The ribbon on top with leaves was a RAK I got from my other Crafty BFF Tenny I used TradeFish Designs, Got Leaves? Stamp Set I added some Xmas Red stickles on the trees to make it look like apples, I love apple pie and I think that's what I was thinking when I added the stickles.
I hope you like my 2 in one project.  Definitely Recycled.  Let me know what you think.

Whimsical Wednesday Blog Hop
