Decorated Glass Jar with Anchor

 Do your children love scouring the beach for beautiful shells when they visit the beach?

What do you do with all those shells?

For my Pazzles Design Team project this month, I thought I would take a simple glass jar and fill it with the pretty shells that my kids had spent many hours collecting rather than leave them in the garage collecting dust!  Of course, I had to decorate the jar using my Pazzles cutting machine!

I have used the Anchor and Life Saver cutting file from the Pazzles Craft Room Library.

New Home - Decorated Wooden Ornament

I have decorated this Wooden Birdhouse Ornament as a small gift for one of the teacher's I work with, as she has just moved into her 'New Home'.  I am very excited, as I have learnt something NEW using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine. It enabled me to cut the basic elements of the birdhouse without any need to measure!!!!

I bought my Wooden Birdhouse Ornament from my local craft shop that stock's the most delightful wooden items.

I decided to give the  birdhouse a lick of paint using a sponge and 

some Jo Sonja paint.

I then refereed to one of Klo's  pre-recorded Classroom sessions in the Pazzles Craft Room for instructions, on how to create a cutting file using a wooden Home Décor items such as this birdhouse.

All I had to do was lay the wooden item in my scanner.  Scan the item and save as a jpeg.  I then imported it into my Pazzles software > autotraced > which created a cutting line!!!! It was easy peasy using my Pazzles software and soon I had cut out the pieces using my pretty patterned papers. 

I then cut out two 3D Butterfies, again using my Pazzles, and added a self adhesive pearl to the centre.  I also put a ring of smaller rhinestones around the opening of the birdhouse.

Finally, I cut out some banners, again using my Pazzles Inspiration and stamped some alphabet letters for my sentiment.

I am so pleased how this turned out that I am tempted to keep it for myself!
