Life's Little Moments

I had so much fun creating this little book-it was based off the kit I bought from Carol Wingert but I totally changed it, like I do to everything else.  I love making my own paper flowers. 

Another New Project

Another new available class project using stamps I made, tissue paper flowers I made with glimmer mist and TC paper on a 8" canvas and Brillance ink.

New Class Project

This is new available class project.  It is small canvas  with paper wings, stamps I made and miscellaneous supplies-including rubons, TA glimmer mist, lots of paint and embossing powders and Versamark ink.

La Tour Eiffel

I love working with new medias-I have been working with Craft plastic from Grafix and painting on canvas.  I had forgotten how much I enjoyed painting and drawing.  This was one of my favorite pictures that I took in Paris, France last summer.  This was also done with the fleur de lys rubber stamps I made.

Lunch with the Girls

 

Several weeks ago I had lunch with a couple of my dear friends Lisa and Teresa.  In the years I have known both of them Lisa has always been very warm, generous and giving and Teresa has always been upbeat and positive and never speaks badly of anyone.  We went to a cute little restaurant called Food For Thought.  Amazing food and they even cater.

 

I love working with metal foil-I wanted a more vintage shabby chic look for a Christmas album to match the Anna Griffin paper I have saved from several years ago.  I still need to add a few more embellishments to the binding and inside the book but I really like the way it turned out.

Where did the time go?

I love the way this project turned out-Erin's baby pictures.  Hard to believe she is a senior in HS this year.  Anyways I did this mini book using plain black envelopes folded in half and TC Bella paper line.  I cut the covers out of black art board and covered with paper-used my favorite adhesive from Kokuyo.  I cut the flower out from an old book page and inked it with Tsukineko ink and covered it with Diamond Glaze. I used the bind it all to bind the whole album together.

Travel Journal

I finally got my travel journal from our big family European vacation-I still love Paris the most.  I didn't include all the journaling as some of it was too raw and emational for me to post about my feeling at  the Dachau concentration camp.

 

In this book I made the evelopes that hold all the small little pieces that would have otherwise gotten lost in the book.  I also used the Bind it all-amazing how much easier it is to bind assorted items when you read the directions,

I recently had the opportunity to work with adhesive backed metal sheets.  I had seen this on Teresa Collins blog so I wanted to try it.   I painted the cover black and then added a coat of sealant then I sprayed it with Glimmer Mist so it has a shimmery green cast to it.
