New Template!

Hello Beauties!
I have 1 of the 3 new templates available for purchase! This one is a Vintage Sewing Machine Box! I had a lot of fun decorating and designing this one!! Here is what I created from the template

                                                         This is the front of the box on 1 side

                                              I covered the box with sewing pattern pieces that I tea dyed, lots of lace and some paper scraps. Then I painted the sewing machine with gray paint and used black metallic rub and silver metallic rub on the sewing machine. I raided my Grandma's sewing stash for the wood thread spool, scissors, vintage buttons, and bobbin.


                                                              Front of the other side

 I used some WOC roses and pieces of fabric. The fabric I made to look like the machine is sewing it. I wrapped lace around the thread spool and draped it across the box.

                                                                The inside of the box

I covered the inside of the box with tea dyed sewing pattern pieces. To tea dye the pattern pieces I used a cookie sheet with sides and laid the pieces in flat. You will want to be very careful because the pattern pieces become very delicate when they are wet and tear very easily! I used Mod Podge to stick down the pieces all over the box ( inside and out).

I was thinking it would be cute to make a mini album to put inside the box for a friend. You could title the mini " Sew Glad We Are Friends" or something like that. I will have to make a new box to do that because this box is for me, lol! Really, I can't part with it because I used all the goodies from my Grandma's sewing stash that I got when she passed away. The tiny thimble I used, when I was a little girl I used to play with it and put it on my finger while my Grandma had her sewing kit out to do repairs. The scissors I remember her using to cut the thread she used and I thought they were soooo cool because of the design on them. I think I will use the box to put the rest of my Grandma's sewing goodies in for safe keeping!
So, if you purchase the template, I want you to show me what you have created out of it. You can link it to my YT Video on my sewing machine box creation or you can send me pictures. If we like your Sewing Machine box we will send you a gift! So start creating!

Have a creative rest of the week!

Ooh-la-la Vintage Treasures DT Project - Fairies In The Garden

Hello ladies,
Well, I got my box of goodies and let me just say I was thrilled! I was so thrilled that when I got it on Saturday I did a Ustream show that night with the stuff..lol. When I do unscheduled shows I will let the viewers pick out what they want to see me create. This time it was a layout. I have to admit that I was a little scared at first because I haven't done a layout in a very long time :(
So I took the challenge and I tried my hardest to finish but couldn't because of how late it was. So I woke up the next morning and finished it.
I used the graphic 45 sampler pack for this layout and let me just say I still have tons of stuff to use on my other projects that I will be showing off this week too! This pack is filled with so many pretty items to complete your projects with it! Hurry now over to the paper boutique and get it while you can!

Some new items in the store and updates

Hello Beauties!!!

We have a few new items in the store! First I have added a new template (finally), it is a policy envelope for $1.99. Why buy them when you can make them in any color you choose! You can also cut them out with some pretty pattern paper and bind them together to make a mini tag book album! The possibilities are endless with these babies! 

I will be adding 3 more templates this week so check back soon! Maybe I should give you a hint?? Think sewing room! That is all I am saying though:) You will have to wait and see!
Next, I have made a Kraft Embellishment Kit with a mini album. In this kit there is 6 mini file folders (3 embossed, 3 plain), 4 large tags (2 embossed, 2 plain), 4 medium tags (2 embossed, 2 plain), 4 small tags ( 2 embossed, 2 plain), 6 mini envelopes with journal card inserts ( 2 of each of the 3 styles and 3 embossed & 3 plain), and finally the mini album which has 2 chipboard covers and 8 cardstock page inserts. Guess what? You get all of these items for $6.99! You can find the kits in the Paper Boutique.

Last but not least, We have lace bundles for sale in the Lace Boutique for $5.00! There are 3 different styles available Shabby Chic, Tea Dyed, & Brights. I know these will not last long so get them while their hot!

Tea Dyed

Brights

Shabby Chic

Now, I did forget to mention that I have charms available in the Embellishment Boutique, so go check them out!
We have decided to make a You Tube channel for the store and here is the link so you can follow what is going on. http://www.youtube.com/user/TheOohlalaVT?feature=mhum
We are in the process of moving all of the store videos from our personal channels over to the store channel. Also, the design team will be putting their videos on there too! So take a moment and click on the link so you can stay up to date with what is going on in the store. I will also being doing a lot of how to videos and I am sure the DT girls will too!

I have an awesome sale for you that starts tomorrow and ends Monday at midnight! All laces by the yard are buy a yard get a yard free! So if you have been drooling over all the vintage laces now is the time to buy! This is what you have to do: When you are checking out just put in the amount of lace you are purchasing. so if you are purchasing lets say 2 yards of lace then you would put 2 in the amount column do not put 4! If you put 4 yards ( 2 yrds purchased, 2 yrds free) you will be charged for the 2 free yards. Don't worry we will make sure you get your free yards when we get your order. If you are not sure what to do just send us an email and we can send you an invoice for your purchase. I hope you all have a blessed Memorial Day weekend!
Big Hugs to you all♥

Hello Beauties!
I want to share with you a catalog from a company I would like to purchase items for the store from them. One problem, I don't know what to buy ( 1of everything, right!) and what you are all looking for. So, if you see something you like let me know:) I can also take orders now for anything in the catalog, but please be aware that it may take a few weeks to get the items. So make a list and send it to me and I will let you know the prices. When I am ready to place the order I will then request money through paypal for your order. So here is the catalog link.
