Altered Kitchenette for my daughter

 Hi everyone

I found this wooden kitchenette at a thrift store for 20 dollars. missing several things and needing a paint job but it was workable.

i spray painted it with rustoleum pink primer n paint. the doors a metallic paint color from the same line and added joanns loose cardstock pink n brown dots for background. The top edge was dented and damaged so I also added the paper then added a pink lace in front.(looks better in person) It had no knobs so I took the tops of some small candles i had (michaels type) and hot glued them to kitchenette. since they are candle tops they do turn..=) I painted the burners with black craftsmart paint using a roll of duck tape as my circle base (painted the inside of the roll).

The only issue i had was with the metallic paint. it's see through so it picked up what was behind it even though I finished two bottles applying spray.

I also went through two bottles of the pink spray but I painted the entire kitchenette. no bad in the end i spent a total of $36 dollars for everything.

A kitchenette is'n't complete without pots and pans and bakeware so we went to Toys R Us and purchased a mini microwave,pots,pans,bakeware, and a tea set. (yeah that ran me $120 just in that so i'm glad i didn't shell out the 200-300 for the actual kitchenette)

All in all i think it turned out okay.. my daughter will be happy when she gets to remove the shower curtain come christmas. (ps.. keeping a 2 year old from seeing you work is NOT easy)

Penguin Christmas Card Snow flake

Hi Everyone,

So I've been trying my hand at making Christmas cards.. (sorry but I mostly have blue) and this is what I came up with... A penguin Christmas party!

The background papers are plain white cardstock and lunar blue cardstock accented with simonsaysstamps snow stencil using texture paste.

Giant Snow flake is from the dollar tree and blue white bluish gray bells are from michaels. The penguins are from a coloring book that I printed out and colored with cool gray copic markers and accented the snow hat and blue tie with stickles. 

Merry Christmas sentiment is from inkadinkado (michaels)
