The project we are sharing today is a keepsake project - an altered mini
matchbox dresser made from recycled matchbook boxes - and the drawers
really open, too!<br />

Tabletop and mirrorback are cut from recycled chipboard from notepads; then drybrushed in a pale pink acrylic paint. The matchboxes are stacked in threes, glued together and wrapped in a coordinating scrap of patterned paper. The fronts of the drawers are also drybrushed pink - embellished with stickers layered with clear mini brads for drawer pulls. Crystal faceted beads added for feet. All the desktop embellishments and the flowers on drawer pulls are stickers from Crafty Secrets. I have a sweet keepsake of a favorite picture of me and I have some vintage buttons that were my great grandmothers tucked inside for safekeeping. </div>

We are so excited to be participating in this special "Earth Day" Bloghop. The project we are sharing is very special - a mini purse book.<br />

This is made from a recycled paper ribbon spool - transformed into this super GIRLIE mini purse. It's hand stamped and collaged with patterned paper and all gussied up with ribbons and bows to house a circular accordion mini book for messages and photos inside.<br />

</div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: justify;">Hello web-wide-world! I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year now that the holiday dust has settled. I for one had a whirlwind three months that just ended with attending CHA {craft and hobby association} Trade show in Anaheim, CA. My work was on display for a product called Amazing Mold Putty by Alumilite Corp. Needless to say...between all the craft shows, I have been pretty busy creating...creating...and more creating for three (3) design teams that I am on. I am having a lot of fun and if you want to see more of what I've been up to please <a href="http://www.sbartist.blogspot.com/"><b>CLICK HERE</b></a> to visit my art blog <b>{sbartist : painting in the dark}</b>.</div><div class="mobile-photo"><br />

Buy local! Buy from your local crafter or artist! Go to your local neighborhood indie craft festival [not the craft shows in the mall].

I know it's been a while since I've posted much lately - I have been working the day J.O.B. and spending the evenings & weekends preparing for my upcoming craft shows. How do you like the new background? A little goody I came across searching the web for some stamping technique ideas.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Did you know most everything at SalonDArte's shop on Etsy can be customized?
<br /><div>
<br /></div><div>I received a request for a custom order of my popular "Altered Schoolbook Journal". You never know where inspiration comes from and I am always ready when it comes my way. The request was to make an Italy travel theme word search. Laura, my new client, sent me a list of words for the background word search and I was off and running...</div><div>
<br /></div><div><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 358px; height: 400px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLoEsCxA9z-GPAKobxTg7pV4s6EZjdUzO-LsEMVQc7HfUIPpxyOkW_IlelV5fmG52lCQ9umb4AIWQiKgGv9vk0iaQD5X4OoXrOgabymhDjRDjA3e54KXWa0WcjQSCPcqPWXMDbl6-9rmE/s400/SB_TravelBook_Front.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647030200233748466" /></div><div>Here is the final product which is merrily on it's way to Alabama. Hope you like it. I will have one more of this available in the shop, soon.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Thanks Laura for the fresh and fun inspiration. I hope your sister loves the special handmade gift! I enjoyed playing while making something new.</div></div>SalonD'Artehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00849888858445009839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3158400430093269126.post-41751608034784840532011-08-01T07:54:00.000-04:002011-08-01T07:55:06.856-04:00SalonD'Arte display at Beat Cup Folk & Craft Fair<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgclRDd-7Q8uj07uk_fUtGzc8BqBd9Wmgg_r-XnYPogHNa2cuUWsTK1MTP33x_sDrT4_0l9xgngw0QfAyQG6TYXJv4a-d3VUTZ6eypFLXItoCzYxiB01LD-pPI4kIpbzLrsBgH2TIq4KNA/s1600/photo-706857.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgclRDd-7Q8uj07uk_fUtGzc8BqBd9Wmgg_r-XnYPogHNa2cuUWsTK1MTP33x_sDrT4_0l9xgngw0QfAyQG6TYXJv4a-d3VUTZ6eypFLXItoCzYxiB01LD-pPI4kIpbzLrsBgH2TIq4KNA/s320/photo-706857.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635854835150957026" /></a></p>SalonD'Artehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00849888858445009839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3158400430093269126.post-20700463585558111742011-07-22T16:45:00.003-04:002011-07-22T16:58:04.746-04:00SalonDArte vending at Beat Cup Craft Fair July 31stSorry I haven't been blogging too much lately.

My "LITTLE Sister" was married Christmas of 2009 in Hawaii and is now officially part of Hawaii's Army National Guard unit. Since this is a 5 x 7 card, I mounted it to foldout pocket card that I stitched pages into. I sent this off to my Lil' Sister so she can write a special something to send to her hubby overseas.

A last minute surprise and change of plans by her unit -AND- it was so wonderful I was able to see her off from where I live.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">**BLOG CANDY** I will be having a RAK giveaway of goodies from comments left between now and June 1st.

This is one of my favorite creations to date using Sketch it Saturday's sketch #106. I have been excited to use this Stampendous "Sushi Bowl Party" stamp set I got on clearance, and have left it out on the dining room table to remind me & this sketch was the perfect use. I combined this with flourishes from a tropical stamp set and sentiment from a dollar stamp set from one of the craft stores.<br /><br />I stamped the fish bowl on patterned water paper and added more depth with markers blended with water brush pens. I also stamped images on recycled film {acetate} with Staz-on and colored the flourish with marker. I layered this on top of the blue fishbowl for depth. Between the layers is a fish and heart on hook from the same "Sushi Bowl Party" set. I added black embroidery floss coming out of the bowl to the top of the card.<br /><br />The pineapple patterned paper is Basic Grey and is so fun and tropical. The stamped flourishes are accented with pink marker. This card just screams <span style="font-weight: bold;">"PINA COLADA"</span>!!!<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><br /></span></div>SalonD'Artehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00849888858445009839noreply@blogger.com67tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3158400430093269126.post-37372241505310491672011-05-28T08:58:00.001-04:002011-05-28T09:17:26.938-04:00SalonDArte at upcoming event June 2, 2012<p style="text-align: center;" class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_172292886161210&ap=1"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7zh6abbZ089yqV1LFBueXdUD9P0IyYQn0YkDYsuUjLK3b-h4agSzxY3PiO9fQaMKC615b-aI5KY5e5r9XzZyirM53waYrhWpsU2mQAwr0C7qqMYEDcHpt-JqlodAfnu3CVDbN_57t66Y/s320/photo-757268.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611750828643697410" border="0" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo">SalonDArte will be at the Dada Bazaar on June 2nd at Dada Restaurant in Delray Beach, FL.

My best friend Chelsea joined me and helped set up my display. She was my "display designer" and I think she did an awesome job setting up my Objects D'Arte!!! We'll be there again on June 2nd...all are invited to come and check it out. Great art, music and food all in one place.

She has an Etsy shopful of original 3-dimensional ornaments, signs, wreaths, dolls and cake toppers--are all made of wood--and covering just about any holiday or occasion you can think of! And she ships internationally, too!<br /><br />Nancy has been making little characters for years and never tires of the joy it brings. "Making their little faces just makes me smile and I love telling a story about each one." This imagination and love shows in each item description! Nancy gets most of her ideas from watch all the children in her family. She says "I never have enough time in the day to be able to capture all of their experiences and joys. I love their stories and try to incorporate their imaginative fun". She's pretty economical, too: "I love that I use little pieces of wood to create one item...it's great on space!"<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/37830386/sugarie-delight"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 430px; height: 343px;" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_430xN.113657075.jpg" alt="Sugarie Delight" border="0" /></a><br />Nancy is relatively new to social media, but it figured prominently in her goals for this year: exploring "The virtual world; and expanding my own knowledge of how it runs." Her aim is "to motivate and inspire customers back into handmade" by "tweeting and sharing creations of other ETT members along with other Etsians on Facebook ~ I hope to bring both family and friends to see the joy and wonderful artistry that's in the world." That's a goal that all Etsians can appreciate!<br /><br />Nancy's plans for this Winter/Holiday Season include bringing out some new items for the family, possibly even a group gift! "I'm going to show items that can be multi personalized, possibly for a family; or for Grandma with the names of her grandkids." And special for this week, she'll be releasing a few new designs!<br /><br />Bringing traffic and sales to your Etsy shop can be a challenge. Nancy has worked to create quality photographs and Twitter raport to accomplish this feat.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/37470498/sending-love"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 430px; height: 355px;" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.112464109.jpg" alt="Sending Love" border="0" /></a><br /><center><strong>Nancy will be offering<br />Free Shipping 10/18 through 10/24<br />Just mention code <em>SOTW1018</em><br />in the comments section<br />~~~~~~~<br />Follow Nancy at<br />Etsy Shop: <a href="http://www.fromnancysheart.etsy.com/">http://www.fromnancysheart.etsy.com</a><br />Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/fromnancysheart">http://www.twitter.com/fromnancysheart</a><br />Blog:<br /><a href="http://www.fromnancysheart.blogspot.com/">http://www.fromnancysheart.blogspot.com</a></strong></center><br /><left>Special thanks to Judy of <a href="http://wellspringcreations.etsy.com/">WellspringCreations</a> for writing this post : )<br /></left>SalonD'Artehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00849888858445009839noreply@blogger.com0
