Spring Tag...not so spring colours

Had fun with Tim Holtz stains on the background. Little butterflies stamped on the background and Tim Holtz stamp sentament.

Birdcage tags

It was fun using Tim Holtz birdcage die cuts to make these tags. I heat embossed the tags and added some crackle but that didn't show up. I coloured the ball chain with Alcohol ink...worked like a charm. Enjoy

Mini Album inside pages

Mini Album Graphic 45 inspired

Here is my matching mini album that was suppose to fit in the box. I didn't allow for the rings so now it's too big. I will just have to make another one. It was a fun project. All papers are by Graphic 45. Most of the flowers used are Prima that have been Glimmer Misted (Tattered Angels) and some are handmade using Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die. Ribbons, lace, and fibers from stash.

My first altered box

This is my first altered box. I took a round paper mache gift box and covered it with Graphic 45 papers from the Steampunk Debutante Collection. Prima Flowers, Tim Holtz hardware, black pompom braid and black ribbon were added to complete the box. Mirrored butterfly was found at a Dollar Store. Now to make a matching mini album to go inside. The title is Believe In Yourself.
I hope you enjoy my blog. Please come back again soon.

Dress her up Marie

Made this dress for a swap on Art For the Creative Mind Yahoogroup. We are doing a monthly apparel swap. In January we did Slippers, in February a top hat, and March is the dress fit for Marie Antoinette. I covered some chipboard with pink cardstock by Stampin'Up and stamps flourishes on it, altough you can't really see it. Then I sewed lace and tulle together and layered it on the dress. It was fun to do. I hope my partner likes it.

Steampunk book

Just had to show you the book one of the members of our group just finished. Isn't it fabulous? Jamie you did a wonderful job. Just had to show the world your creation.

12 X 12 Canvas #2 For You Mom

I made this one today for my mother. This is a picture of her around 1943. Again I'm using Graphic 45 paper, flowers sprayed with Coffee Glimmer mist, gears by Tim Holtz and Sticklers. Edges with distress with Vintage Photo ink. I hope you like this one.

Graphic 45 Altered Canvas

My first 12 x 12 Altered Canvas using Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante collection. The canvas was first painted black/brown using acrylic paint. When dried I sprayed it Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (Gold) in the corners where the paper was torn away. You can't really see it in the picture and with the embellishments. I could have left that out with no change in the look. From there I just went ahead and glued the papers and embellishments down using Gel Medium. I had layed out the canvas in different ways before settling with this one. Once I got started gluing down the first piece for the background..it all just came together. I used the T!m Holtz gear die to cut some gears and distressed them with Vintage Photo and Soot Black. Flowers are from stash and I Glimmer Misted those a little too and added a little Stickles here and there. The pearls are from Stampin'Up and the gears from T!m Holtz. Voila!!

Journal Cover

A friend asked me to make a journal cover for her. She picked out the picture and papers she wanted and I did the rest plus added the embellishments and this is what we came up with. I love the way it turned out...so feminine.

Days fly by to quickly

It just seems that I post a new pieces and the next thing I know days have flown by with an new entry. What have I been doing? I've been making cards, but I post them on my other blog "Art For the Creative mind". So back to the drawing board. Think wonderful thoughts today. Be creative and enjoy the journey.

The Mad Hatter or did the Hat go Mad?

This was fun to do using a Top Hat template in black cardstock. Made the mad hatter into a tag and tucked him inside. Embellished the hat with various papers cut outs. This is for another swap.

Index Card

Here is my Rolodex card on Greece for a swap on Art For the Creative Mind yahoogroup. This is a year long swap going through the different countries of the world.

Queen of Hearts

The theme was Queen of Hearts. So here are my two ATCs for the swap. I hope my partner likes them.

Waiting for the Train tag

Basic shipping tag dry embossed using Cuttlebug folder, Tim Holtz Distressed inks, T.H crackle paint "Peeled Paint"; stamps by ScrollsWork Stamps; misc. flowers by Prima; lace from stash, brads and markers by Stampin'Up.

Back pages of the book

Because the book was accordian folded, I thought I better finish off the back pages. I was going to leave them blank. So I just added some pictures and flowers to it and kept it simple. Since I last posted the front side, I found some lace to add. Just can't leave it along. Tonight I will pick a winner from the group.

The new revisions for the Time Out for Woman Book

I have now finished the book. I gave it a more of a feminine feel to the steampunk look. I hope you like it. It is going to be a gift on the Yahoo Group...Art For the Creative Mind.

Time Out for Woman Book Revision

The last of the revision for the book.

The start of book in progress

I started this book without a theme, but now I think I will call it Time out for Women. I need to dress it up some to reflect women.

Book In Progress

There is still some embellishing to do, maybe tags to add or trim.

Atc "Hands of Time"

This is the 2nd atc for the same theme. Time goes so quickly in our lives...once you were a child and then time takes you on a life journey.

ATC "Time on Your hands"

Here is one of two atcs for a swap on Art For the Creative Mind Yahoogroup.

Gothic Arch "Under the Sea"

During the night I realized that I had packed this arch up to be mailed without taking a picture. I seem to do that alot lately and then my poor blogs are neglected. So here is my Gothic Arch titled "Under the Sea". I added all the fish and shells and then layed acetate over the top. Then I glued down the mermaid on a real shell and glued the shell over the acetate. I also added some Glossy Accents for bubbles in the water as well. I hope it makes it's long trip overseas without damage. I had so many ideas rolling around my head I had a hard time choosing which way I was going to proceed, but I think it came together nicely.

Cinderella's Slipper

I made this slipper from a template I found on a site. I cut out the slipper from black wedding print paper by Stampin'Up. Gathered crepe paper, lace, pearls, flowers and feathers were added to a romantic look. I hope you like my slipper.
