Asian themed swap

I made this for my swap partner who wanted Asian themed items in colors of red, black, gold, white/cream. It came unpainted in just the brown wood color. I painted it black then used paper from Bo Bunny Serenity Collection. I lined the inside too. I used a Martha Stewart border lace punch and a couple brads to make it pretty.

More Asian themed swap items to come!

Love - my first art journal page

I just completed my very first page in my art journal - Love!! Art journaling and mixed media is something I have been wanting to do and I'm finally doing it. It's so much fun to just be free and play with paint and anything else you want to add in. For this page and techniques I used a video tutorial by Limor. You can check her out on youtube HERE

This is for Tracy's July creative dare, as well as Limor's MM July Challenge. I combined them into one piece.

Olde Curiosity Shoppe Altered box

This is a cigar box that I altered with Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe collection for a swap I was in. It goes with the 2 previous projects here on my blog. My swap partner likes this collection from G45 and so that's what I went with!  It was my first time altering one of these boxes, it was very fun and I love how it came out! She loved all three projects as well. :)

Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to leave a comment letting me know what you think! :)

When Pigs Fly Dome

This is another project I made using Olde Curiosity Shoppe collection by Graphic 45. I fussy cut a flying pig out of one of the sheets of paper and attached it to a piece of wire. The When pigs fly sign was cut out from a sheet of the paper too and put on wire. The other pieces were border strips included with the collection. I covered half of a Styrofoam ball with material to stick the wire in for the pig and sign to stand up. The base was originally brown and I painted it black.

Olde Curiosity Shoppe Altered book

I used the Olde Curiosity Shoppe Collection by Graphic 45 to create my very first altered book. I took an old book and cut a house shape out of it. Mod Podged the pages together, painted black and created a niche inside and placed a butterfly that I fussy cut from a sheet of Graphic 45 paper. I added some glossy accents to the spots on the butterfly. I wanted the book to look a bit aged and worn so I added some ink in spots. On the cover, I also cut out a hole for eye so it has some depth to it as well.

Thanks for stopping by my blog...
