Front Computer Panel Recycled

My husband saved these front panels from a couple of old computers.  He thought maybe I could use them for something and well I decided to turn them into picture frames. (Please disregard the little papers all over the floor as my son decided it would be fun to spread the shredded paper on the floor and I was to lazy to vacuum it up.)

Freezer Paper Stencil

Sorry I haven't been very good to my devoted 6 Followers, but I'm hoping to make up for that over the next few days as I have several projects to post. So, if you are not already one of my devoted followers click the link on the right side to start following me!!!
So to start off I wanted to jump on the bandwagon of using freezer paper for stenciling (scroll down a little bit and you will find a link to a PDF file for a tutorial). I really wanted to bleach the design into the shirt. So I created a design, and using Sure Cuts Alot I had my Cricut cut it out on the freezer paper. Unfortunately mid way through the 24 x 6 inch design my computer decided to restart itself and therefore my cutting process stopped. So I had to peel the paper off the cutting mat, put a new strip of paper on, and restart the design. It worked out great, except I didn't get the freezer paper that is suppose to go on the inside of the shirt down very well and so the bleach leaked leaving me with this:

So I then decided to try the design again only this time I used fabric paint and this is how it turned out. My husband modeling his new shirt for me. I was making a cheesy smiley face at him so he would smile for me!!!

New Purpose for Washers and Scrapbook Paper

I got this idea from here: Soooo Cool Washer Necklaces

After searching everywhere to find the "Diamond Glaze" and not finding it but finding "Triple Thick Glaze" I gave it a try. I then invited some friends over and we made some more together. I decided to make a matching bracelet and the girls had a great idea of making some into earrings too. I will warn you though the smaller the washers you use the harder it is to hold them as you are trimming the edges. The girls also gave me a great idea to cover the front and the back, so if it flips over you don't just have a silver ring. After wearing my bracelet for a little while I will be taking it apart and doing the other side as the washers like to flip over a lot.
