Raisinboat Challenge #7

I had a picture in my mind before I even

received my stamps. So this is

how it all came together.

The flowers were stamped from Raisinboat

"All in Toile"

Then the rest of the card was stamped from

Raisinboat "Wild about you, Honey!"

The hearts, bee's wings and flower centers

were glittered with gel. The color was

added with colored pencils and

markers. The large bee was popped

up on dots.. This was so much fun!

Please leave a comment so I know you

came to visit.. Many Thanks. cj

My Repurposed Card

I started with a card board box and

paper sack.

I died the card board and sack with cool aid.

I used a tissue box for the background paper.

I mounted my pieces on some white cardstock.

Punched heart shaped holes and wove some

pink fiber through them. I glued the hearts to

some doilies I made and popped them up. Then

stamped the background with words.. and the heart with,

"A Love Story"....

Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoy my

Repurposed Card.

Thank You Jim..

Journal Page for Linda L.

I was too late in joining a swap on Your Paper Pantry. So Linda asked if I would care to swap a journal page. and I was thrilled to do so. The theme was, "Who Am I"?

I created two pockets.. one on top and one on the side that held some information about me. I also had a pocket on the front to hold some tea. then on the other side.......

I created a silhouette of my face....and added some quotes.. I was very pleased with the way it turned out. Someday I'll send a picture.. but for now Lupus has invaded my face with lessions....and I've been over a year..try different medications ... that have not worked.. but I'm sure some will soon..

Thank you for stopping by.. Please leave a comment.. thanks. cj

January 2013 Mail Art

For January 2013. We created winter theme envelopes at Your Paper Pantry. I have taken this very thick crinkled paper and cut a hole in it after folding it into an envelope. I tried to make the picture look as those it were a snow globe with pieces falling down...but the pieces kept sticking to the plastic on the globe. But over all I thought it turned out cute.

Lessology Challenge #21 "Hearts"

Lessology Challenge #21....... "Angel or Fairy repurposed from an old quilt"

I collect old Cutter Quilts. These are quilts that are totally worn out and can no longer be repaired.

I've created a new pattern using these quilts and hearts.
In these pictures I will show you how I will cut out pieces from these old quilts using several hearts and modified hearts to create a new, repurposed item. We will call it an Angel or Fairy with many purposes.
