Love Notes- Oxford Impressions

So many times I need to do up a quick note of thanks and

just don't have the time to make a complicated card.

 oxford impressions 

has come up with the perfect solution.

A entire page of elements and text for that quick note.

LOVE NOTES

Here's just a few things I created with this wonderful set.

A simple Thank You tag.

Just add an image and some ribbon and your tag's ready to go..

Another simple tag. Easy Peasy!!!!

Of course you can always use the stamps and get a bit more creative.

Here I used the Paris stamps on domino's  for an altered art piece.

A bit of Alcohol ink. Some pretty papers, Stamped images

Mounted in a tin and added a hanger and some ribbon.

How FUN is that!!!

Blog Follower Giveaway-More Added

I finally had time to put together a few things for my followers Giveaway.

I've added this brass bracelet I made.

Pounded the brass to create texture,

 added a vintage brass plate,some filigree brass pieces to the sides.

A sweet little birdcage. ( Thanks Tracy) and a few charms hang from the cage.

With Easter around the corner I thought it would be fun

to  add a set of  string egg ornaments for someones Easter tree.

I keep seeing sweet little sewing pin holders on several blogs

 and decided to make one up.

I've included this little baby shoe pincushion and needle holder

as a set ,done in ivories , greens and bits of lace.

 For that seamstress that has everything!

Next up a so very soft velvet choker.

The center a Faux tintype and a resin piece I made from a cast.

It sits on a ivory tatting.

A set of note cards made from the newest release Love Notes at

Oxford Impressions

These beautiful images are timeless and so easy to use.

I did this set in a Paris theme with a pretty cover for the notes and envelopes.

I'll also include a few extra surprises. I LOVE surprises don't you?

A fun ring made from a vintage earring in spring colors.

One size fits most. Hand not included! LOL

Steampunk Heart- Round Robin

If you remember a couple of weeks ago I shared my Round Robin cover
 for my book

from the swap at Kindred Souls Art Group

Well this month I had a chance to work on Rhea's book.

Her theme is Steampunk Heart's

CLOCKWORK HEART

This page features Tim Holtz clock die that I rusted.

 Image inside is from Graphics 45.

Its hard to tell from the photo but the image was crackled first then I added a layer of

gel medium to tone down the shine. Also added some of Tim's ideology gears.

The text is from Alpha Stamps and the Steampunk heart is a collection of

clock pieces I put together.

THE KEY

The back page heart was embossed on metal painted and sanded back.

Then I added a touch of Perfect Pearls for color.

I punched holes all around the heart and used metal wire to stitch around it.

I again Rusted the key. The word is from Tim's Ransom letters.

You open the heart to reveal "Love is All you need"

some of Tim's gear die cuts ,a clock. Women image cut into heart shape

and a old tintype also cut into a heart shape.

I sure hope she likes it.

I'm entering this in Nancys 14 Hearts challenge

at Sugar Lump Studios

Fabric and Lace

Good Morning my dear blog friends. Its been a busy work week,

 so I haven't had much free time to do any blogging.

Today I'm here to share a fabric and lace piece I sent to a sweet friend

who's workplace had a terrible fire. She lost all of her personal art in the fire.

Her new office will be shabby chic so

I wanted to start her off with a little something for her wall.

Just heard from her that it arrived and she Loves it.

This was a special order cuff bracelet I had made some time ago

that just so happened went to the same friend.

Have a lovely weekend.

I'll be catching up with you all soon.
