I just don't have the space and eveyone</div><div align="center">gives me a hard time when I drag it all out!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">SO I have moved onto something else for now!</div><div align="center">I got an invitation to pinterest and well I am</div><div align="center">officially addicted!!! I have pinned so many projects</div><div align="center">for me and hubby to make!! I have now vowed</div><div align="center">to try and stay off until I have completed some!! LOL</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">So my first project is a washer/dryer stand. Our new</div><div align="center">laundry room in Texas is super small and left little</div><div align="center">room for anything other than my washer and dryer!!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Sorry for the bad shots but like I said the room is </div><div align="center">small and this was the only angle!!</div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The hardest part was painting the words as I have</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">quite a shaky hand! Ideally I would have painted them with</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the unit on its side but we needed to see if the stand</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">would work so I had to do it already set up!</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sorry I cannot find the tutorial anywhere!! I must have just followed </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the tutorial with it on my screen while I made it!! It is pretty easy though.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Make 2 papers 8x6.5 and the other two 8x5.5. Score</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the thinner ones at .5 on each side. That is what you glue the edges </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">together with. You can punch out any design that you want!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The bottom is 7.5 x 5.5 and you score all edges at .5 and</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">make a bottom lid. Easy peasy! Then decorate as you wish!</div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">By definition it is a form of interior design where furniture and <br />
furnishings are either chosen for their age and signs of wear<br />
and tear or new items are distressed to achieve the appearance of <br />
an antique. At the same time, a soft, minimalistic, and feminine feel is <br />
emphasized to differentiate it from regular vintage decor; hence the</div><div style="text-align: center;">"chic" in the name. Whites and worn or bleaches out pastels are<br />
favorite colours. Usually alot of flowers too! <br />
(But I used snowflakes instead!)</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Right now I take that to be LOTS and LOTs of white on white</div><div style="text-align: center;">and cracked paint and loads of fabric and texture! Oh and a</div><div style="text-align: center;">touch of glitter!!!That is how I like to do it! </div><div style="text-align: center;">So the things I use to achieve my look are:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3N-4F0SFsMDaQz_kv-ko1NB00GPWpjAMhQiVY8c9Zkz_P_ewDPhN7jMVhfR-U2zehy4YmZcsqwa9ESyGIvkMUDRoKP6rWNIph7TWX93Iu5YgmwK91oLYlbrkE_nCHI-zlEH0_PurOdcv0/s1600/IMG_5681.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3N-4F0SFsMDaQz_kv-ko1NB00GPWpjAMhQiVY8c9Zkz_P_ewDPhN7jMVhfR-U2zehy4YmZcsqwa9ESyGIvkMUDRoKP6rWNIph7TWX93Iu5YgmwK91oLYlbrkE_nCHI-zlEH0_PurOdcv0/s400/IMG_5681.JPG" width="310px" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">~FLAT or MATTE finish White Spray Paint (Thanks to Minna)</div><div style="text-align: center;">~Picket Fence Distress Crackle Paint</div><div style="text-align: center;">~DecoArt Snow-Tex</div><div style="text-align: center;">~Martha Stewart Coarse Fine Glitter</div><div style="text-align: center;">~loads of cheesecloth, lace, seam binding and felt (All in white!)</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Here is my card after I have picked out the papers that I want to use:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZFyupXATUAadGA2ENrC7Y3RTDkPNcMFlQZkc77QirlalsVgonWPd1JhSRlASuT6ofTe0wiOpZnXIR0NitT-O3I0FtZ2-lnrVh5gz2ipuNXx0RjIXJia2AeMpAMe8uN2o3MC8NwHHzhoya/s1600/IMG_5686.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="383px" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZFyupXATUAadGA2ENrC7Y3RTDkPNcMFlQZkc77QirlalsVgonWPd1JhSRlASuT6ofTe0wiOpZnXIR0NitT-O3I0FtZ2-lnrVh5gz2ipuNXx0RjIXJia2AeMpAMe8uN2o3MC8NwHHzhoya/s400/IMG_5686.JPG" width="400px" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">First thing I do is give my papers a light coating of spray paint,</div><div style="text-align: center;">you don't want to overdo it but just until you like the results.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also like spraying all my fabrics too as it gives them a nice</div><div style="text-align: center;">flat finish and it also stiffens them up alittle so applying the</div><div style="text-align: center;">crackle paint down the road is a little easier. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS-VXsvIYU6pwFJ7iVcgY2RTzWfJQHfMrfLFynfLc3rOuMdUyQEqnmk4zA8xtLE678vtkGbjBzBFTKuhneNaGgYQrw0q7JqV_w35i625Lrj_-HQ8ydA1lojp9-NnbVj7pDaldg-GzQ5HN4/s1600/IMG_5691.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="208px" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS-VXsvIYU6pwFJ7iVcgY2RTzWfJQHfMrfLFynfLc3rOuMdUyQEqnmk4zA8xtLE678vtkGbjBzBFTKuhneNaGgYQrw0q7JqV_w35i625Lrj_-HQ8ydA1lojp9-NnbVj7pDaldg-GzQ5HN4/s400/IMG_5691.JPG" width="400px" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Next I run the crackle paint down the edges of the papers, I leave a nice</div><div style="text-align: center;">thick brush so that I get alot on my edges. You don't have to</div><div style="text-align: center;">do it any certain way and really the less careful you are the</div><div style="text-align: center;">better it looks! Really!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkYW3U7fHJxCMYMG2XDVAIReTHhxmGXx2NtjwB7wxIEiTexlsWltX5IUQr0xVMxN60DzaDVTwi6kioscYEwxacz9CXJtSodHEjcVCgmLcsCdkd5lIWsVpBAXFnfgpx9wgKH_PNVANOI9x0/s1600/IMG_5692.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkYW3U7fHJxCMYMG2XDVAIReTHhxmGXx2NtjwB7wxIEiTexlsWltX5IUQr0xVMxN60DzaDVTwi6kioscYEwxacz9CXJtSodHEjcVCgmLcsCdkd5lIWsVpBAXFnfgpx9wgKH_PNVANOI9x0/s400/IMG_5692.JPG" width="398px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I knew what to do with this cutie as soon as I seen her!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Rachel, my baby, is having a birthday soon! </div><div style="text-align: center;">She has recently acquired a CD player and her and her older sister </div><div style="text-align: center;">are always fighting over this particular CD that I made up</div><div style="text-align: center;"> forever ago! SOOOO..... I thought this would be cute to</div><div style="text-align: center;">hold the new CD in it and her sister could give it to her</div><div style="text-align: center;">for her birthday!!! (And she will love it more than anything else I am sure!)</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had to use yellows, oranges and turquoise as they are her favorite at the mo.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

(To see them all in</div><div align="center">action you can head to <a href="http://teddybochallenge.blogspot.com/2011/09/teddy-bo-tuesday-team.html">the blog</a> to see the rest </div><div align="center">of the "A" team's creations.) Here is what I did:</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ErreF4khsFfB_vO52Rs9FyBoHFTVgECZTz4ghOY2b97yHPi4HMZKMw0TxyXSdvAvlJMpu4awIPvAJohyko94yjrqSzzgEf2UMlOpsWSMzPVi_ACTKCPS_cPC3xerEeET7bw8KYlMsSY/s1600/IMG_5593.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ErreF4khsFfB_vO52Rs9FyBoHFTVgECZTz4ghOY2b97yHPi4HMZKMw0TxyXSdvAvlJMpu4awIPvAJohyko94yjrqSzzgEf2UMlOpsWSMzPVi_ACTKCPS_cPC3xerEeET7bw8KYlMsSY/s400/IMG_5593.JPG" width="387px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have played along with the sketch over at <a href="http://sweetsketchwednesday.blogspot.com/2011/09/sweet-sketch-wednesday-118-with.html">Sweet Sketch Wednesday</a>.<br />
WOW was it ever hard for me to use these colors! LOL</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And did you notice no distress crackle paint!! Instead I ran my </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">paper through my cuttlebug and then sanded it. The mat for the dp</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">was crinkled up and then sanded. I think distressing that </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">way suits Autumn better. I also put vintage photo around the edges.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghufYPX1sFZP_EHRty64qQ4jOetQwFUB9hMIgaF-SC6XQCvMqpaRCafoVEFC4y03hOBsnWzQ-FqeXXXjQ4L0XOmG9-elmcXLyF0AIyY5XEW9oJcT0dQycJxhIW3Ey64_DVUxXEdKkjENI/s1600/IMG_5594.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360px" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghufYPX1sFZP_EHRty64qQ4jOetQwFUB9hMIgaF-SC6XQCvMqpaRCafoVEFC4y03hOBsnWzQ-FqeXXXjQ4L0XOmG9-elmcXLyF0AIyY5XEW9oJcT0dQycJxhIW3Ey64_DVUxXEdKkjENI/s400/IMG_5594.JPG" width="400px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can see on the sign and the leaves I have added some</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">crackle effect to it.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I got this adorable sentiment from <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/createwithtlc/">Create with TLC</a> and thought</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">it worked great with this image! AND I had to </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">throw in a bunch of stars!! (Don't look at my buttons</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">as the glue didn't dry when I took the pic!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The image was colored with distress inks and twinkling h20's.</div><br />
