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.
