Completed projects (2)

 Pam Junk's QS Crooked Playhouse

You don't have to paint the flowers or vines--it's a graphic

 The side of the house

You can complete this kit in about 2-3 hours

Pam sells this on her etsy site

 Interior of Crooked Playhouse--haven't decided how to decorate it

 Another Pam Junk QS play house---it has a "tuscan" feel to me

 Interior of the "Tuscan" (my designation, not Pam's) play house

An ME style clock with roombox, retired kit from Pam Junk

I must have put the clock insert upside down because no matter how many times I adjust the "time" it's always wrong, but it ticks just great 

 Close-up of the roombox. This is the pink version. Pam also sells the blue version

The bead Raggedys are from Shelly Norris

 I "painted" the delphiniums on the cradle using Sharpie pens

 A 144 scale matchbox "Welcome Home Baby!" nursery kit from Noreen Sand

I bought this in 2010, but didn't have the courage to start it until this past year

 A box of gifts for baby (rabbit rattle, gift card, bundled towels) displayed on top of vignette

 Inside the matchbox--a nursery for baby in pink

Painting, letting paint dry, and touch-ups took up the most time with this project

 There's a pretty knob handle on side of the box to let you pull out the vignette from the matchbox cover

Back view of the matchbox

Gold glitter glue will dress up any printie graphic

2011 Quarter Connect Online Convention Souvenir House--Halloween Porch

This week I am posting pictures of projects completed the past few months so I can clean up my computer picture files.

 Front view of the Halloween porch

This was the main souvenir for Quarter Connection's 2011 Online Convention. The theme was "Home for the Holidays". The house could be decorated anyway you want and I chose Halloween

The house "siding" is a paper printie, originally white, but I painted orange right over it and the siding "lines" amazingly showed right through so that was convenient

House kit from Luci Hanson of Cascade Miniatures

2 girl dolls from Jan Stockwell

Jack o'lanterns are actual pumpkin pods popular in scrapbooking and potpourri

Dandelions on rock from Jene Bondi

Hanging flower plant was another souvenir gift with the online convention

I used actual birthday candles (trimmed to fit) in the skeleton heads beads

Coffin from Grace Shaw, swap item during online convention

Ghost trick or treater another swap item during online convention. The lady used glow-in-the-dark clay!

The black chair & table was a swap item from QS Swap group run by Ginger Anderson

I rummaged my box of accumulated swaps to decorate the porch---it's always fun to see what you have in your stash and be able to use it

 If you look through the windows, you can see a faux living room and dining room printie

 Left side of house/porch

 Close-up view of the porch with cake & punch and Jan's dolls

Right side of house/porch. Flower trellis from Cindy McDaniel

This was a fun and easy project once I made up my mind to make it a Halloween theme.
