Koi Fish Card

 

This was stamped twice...I colored the base card with Copic Markers....colored 3 leaves on the second one and cut them out...Attached the leaves to the first card with a foam dot..The picture itself was then mounted on Origami paper and onto white cardstock...

ATC Swap

The theme for the June swap was birds...

SWAP Time

 

For one of the groups I belong to I signed up for some of the swaps....They have different areas and I chose ATCs with a bird theme...The other one I chose was a color theme of gold, red and turquoise.

ATC Swap

Oriental was the theme for the May swap...

Last Craft Show Picture

This was my display...Also me at the table "coloring" with my Copics...I also did a couple of altered clipboards...While doing this show I was invited to do a show the following Saturday at another local church.....Which I did...

Still More Craft Show Items

These are my "30 Day Journal in a Jar" journals...I didn't put the "questions" in the jars before I took the pictures...anyway there were 30 questions in each jar...each day you pick a questions and answer it....this is good if you're new to journalling and don't quite know how to start...plus if you don't like the question for that particular day you could always throw it back in the jar and pick another!....of course that question would then haunt you the rest of the day....

Even More Craft Show Items

These are just a few of the stamped tiles I made...Your run of the mill tumbled tile that I colored the backgrounds with alcohol inks, baked them, then used Staz On ink to stamp the images with....Some I added embellishments to, some I colored with markers and some I left alone...They were all sealed...I did not make these into coasters as I have done before...

More Craft Show Items

I had a lot of fun making these puzzle pieces...I got them when I was helping our Pre-K teacher and I were doing some "spring" cleaning in her room...this paticular puzzle was missing a piece and told her I'd take them since I was SURE I could find something to do with them!...

Craft Shows

WOW! What a busy 2 Saturdays I had...My church decided to do a Spring Vendor Show...I wasn't going to do it but everyone said I should...So I got busy and made different craft items.... Here's what I made: These are small, medium and large (respectively) Prayer Board...I'm showing two of the 7 I made...The medium board shown was an order by our Pre-K teacher and the large one is the one I made for the "tweens"....The tags stay on and then you put your prayers on tags and hang them on the board...

LONG TIME NO POST....

Apparently because I have been in the winter doldrums!...Well I guess it's time to come out!...At least my muse didn't leave as I have been creating...So I'll not waste anymore time and get on with what I've done since December...


ATCs for Dec, Jan and Feb...

ATC Swap

Ahhhh! Fall weather is FINALLY upon us. Love the fall weather. Love the fall colors also. Probably my favorite season of the year. Our theme for October was Thanksgiving. Here are mine.

Tag Swap

Back

Front

On one of the groups I belong to we were to do a tag swap..The only criteria was to use a HIT (Hearts In Touch) stamp..I chose the animals..The back is green cardstock stamped with leaves (VersaMark)..The border and letters are stickers..The front is a paint chip called "Kenya" (sorry it's blurry)..Paw prints are stickers..

PERGAMANO

Practicing my parchment. Found this on the internet and thought I might be able to use it. So I transferred it using my light box then did the outlining. Colored it on the backside using colored pencils.

GIFT CARD GIFT BOX

Made this from a pattern in a magazine. I used double sided paper to create a "gift card" holder and matching card. I altered the lid a little because I thought the original was a little big and I wanted a bit of a tighter fit.

CRACKLE CHALLENGE

These were done for a swap that called for using Smooch or Crackle Paint. I used the paint. I know you can't tell but there are cracks behing the stamped image. I used tags because I thought they would be thicker. Put the paint on and let it dry then stamped the images over it with black STAZ ON. The top one I applied a little color to using pencils.

THIRD CHALLENGE

Again using 2 12x12 sheets and coordinating scraps. Do you think I was trying to use up exisitng paper so that I could purchase more paper? Just maybe!

SECOND CHALLENGE

This time I used 2 12x12 sheets of paper and some coordinating scraps from the scrap pile. I was able to get 6 cards doing this.

ATC SWAP

Where has this month gone? I can't believe it's pretty much over and now it's time for school! My how time flies (or not) when you're having fun! I figured I had better get some updates done on projects I've been doing before I become slightly encapiticated next Wed. They are going to operate on my left wrist (yeah! I'm right handed) to help with a tendon/surrounding sheath problem. It is NOT carpel tunnel. Soooo...anywho...the swap for the month of March is "things that bounce"..umm..very interesting. It took me awhile to think of things that bounce. You can see what I came up with! It will be interesting to see what I get in return.

Pergamano

Our swap for this month was to have some sort of Christmas theme. I really like the wreath I found so used it. I mounted it on Christmas paper that has similar leaves as the wreath ad flakes of snow (which you can see in the wreath's center).
