Pretty Card

A little card I put together for Altered Pages using collage sheet #639. The cardstock is by Stampin'Up, printed papers from Graphic 45, ribbon is vintage seam binding, and Fiskers border punch was used. Enjoy the journey.

Once Upon a Springtime Graphic 45

Had the wooden book piece for years with the intention of painting it. When I picked up the Graphic 45 Once Upon a Springtime collection I just had to do something with it and decided to use the book. I painted the book Delta Timberline green acrylic paint and slip slapped some ivory into the paint to tone it down. I painted the sides gold. Then the fun began deciding where and what to cut from the papers. Flowers are Prima and lace from stash. I hope you like it.

Le Cirque

Had this little burlap canvas sitting around and thought maybe it would work well with Graphic 45 Le Cirque Collection.

Grow Where You are Planted

I created this 9.5"x5" card using the Vintage Flower Seeds collage sheet from Altered Pages. Selected printed papers from Stampin'Up. Flower is from the Dollar Store which I took apart and added a brad to the center. 3 red buttons from stash.
I cut out the roses, lily, label and lady from the collage sheet and mounted on the the cardstock sheet using Pop Up Dots for a 3-d look. This card would look great framed or mounted on a distressed or painted long canvas.

Great day for a Monday

I want to thank the many followers I've had over the last few days. Followers help me continue to create and try new things. It's inspiring and encouraging. Thanks to everyone who leaves comments. I love you all.
I'm always looking for new ideas to push me along to find my own artist within and to recognize my muse.

Cute Pop Ups BEWARE

Spring Mini Album

Here is the front cover for the spring mini album. Assorted papers from Graphic 45 and Mariposa Collection. Prima flowers were dyed to go with the box. Other embellishments taken from stash. This is still a album in progress. I hope my swap partner on the Art For The Creative Mind yahoo group likes it.

Spring mini album

More pages to come. These pages will be made into a book to go along with the box.

Yellow for Spring Altered Box

Another altered box. Love the bright colours...so looking forward to spring flowers and summer weather. I found this book box that already had printed flowers and butterflies on it. I embellished with Prima flowers that I sprayed with Glimmer Mist (Tattered Angels), bird nest, birds, lace and frame from stash, door knob from 7Gypsies, Birdcage die and chain from Tim Holtz. Butterflies cut from Graphic 45. Now to make the mini album for inside. Enjoy
