Last Present

I made this for my friend's birthday that's on the 26th. This is a CD holder that was sent in the mail and was very sturdy. I covered the front/back with Japanese Washi paper. On the inside left used cardstock and inside right more Washi paper. I stamped on the cardstock. The pink Geisha I stamped on washi paper and cut her out. I used H2Os to color her hair, Obi and tea carrier. Then I used glitter pen for the tea cup. Cut her out and mounted her. The other 2 Geishas are a 3D cut out I have. Boy, some of those pieces were small!

Another Christmas Present

I decided to make a present for my Bible Study gift exchange. We held it at the home of one of the leaders. Each of us was to bring a gift and our favorite salad or dessert. I'm all about desserts! Anyway, I created a book of "recipes" for Joy, Peace, Strength and Love. I used a scrapbook and then used stamps etc. to embellish the pages. I have a couple sets of little inspiritional cards in boxes that address those 4 things. So I used some of them by putting them on the computer then printing them out. Cut them up and stamped on them and mounted on the pages. Even made little places where they could write there thoughts or answers down to some of the questions. Had a lot of fun creating it. The person that ended up with it told her friend she hoped nobody would "steal" it from her as she could really use something like that in her life right now. I felt it was in the right person's hands. I only photographed the first set as the rest are pretty much the same. A little variation in the stamping but I used all the same 3 sets for the "recipes".

Christmas Present

This is a Christmas present for a very good friend.

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).

Christmas Card

This Christmas card was sent to a little boy who had been diagnosed with cancer. The doctors had done all they could and told his parents to go home and enjoy what time they had left. The celebrated Christmas in Nov. and he wanted to receive Christmas cards.

PRESENTS

Well, I guess this will be my last entry for the "old" year! Can't believe it's another year gone. Looking forward to what the "new" year has in store. In the meantime, this little coaster book is the last Christmas present for my Bible study group. We haven't had our Christmas yet so it will be fun when we get together and share. Great way to start the "new year"!...See ya next year!

CHRISTMAS PRESENT

One last Christmas present. It's mounted on cardboard. The background paper is white mulberry that was sprayed with 2 different colors of Memories Mist sprays and 1 Glimmering Mist from Tattered Angels. Dried it with the heat gun. The white line through it was done with the Clorox pen then dried with the heat gun. The long strip is just DTP and the image was stamped in black and I used colored pencils.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS Tumbled Tiles

I made these tumbled tiles for a couple of women in my Bible study group. I used alcohol inks and Staz On black. Then baked them at 350 for about 15 minutes. Added the ribbon to the green one.

CHRISTMAS PRESENT - Mini Book

This is a mini book I put together for a christmas present. The happy couple celebrated 25 years together. They took a mini vacation to Colonial Williamsburg. I snuck some pictures to make this. The front cover is cardboard covered with fabric. I punched holes in the spine and used ribbon to "tie" the pages.

Pages 3 and 4 are a little bit of Williamsburg history and events that happened.

Pages 5 and 6 are pictures of Williamsburg during the fall when they went.

Pages 7 and 8 reflect the times.

Pages 9 and 10 iron smiths at work and the firing of rifles.

Pages 11 and 12 show the Fife and Drums, a woman in her Apothocary and one of the gardens.

Pages 13 and 14 restaurant logos, a couple of recipes and a colonial table setting.

Pages 15 and 16 show a sunflower and the happy couple with a anniversary poem.

The last 2 pages reflect life, a map of Williamsburg and 25 years!
