Wine 2.0

We found that we wanted to record more info about the wines we’ve tried than would fit in the previous wine label book. This book is 5.5 x 8.5 twice the size of the old one. This should give plenty of room for details.

I still need to order bigger O-wires for the book but these will do until I get around to it. I also will make dividers to separate the kinds.

It’s funny because even as I finish this one I am thinking of Wine 3.0 …I think the next one will be a 3-ring binder type. Maybe an old cookbook.

Just a reminder…

Ever get tired of saying the same thing over and over.

My husband came up with the idea for the sign.

I used a stand left over from our old Candy Land game.

We’ll just have to wait and see how effective it is with our son.

Always a Bridesmaid

The 8×10 canvas board has had several lives, none of them pretty. So I keep covering them up and trying again.

This latest incarnation is in the style of Kelly Rae Roberts, well at least the background technique.

A little love…

Since it’s so dang cold here I thought maybe a little love could warm us up! Current temp here is -15 F.

I used mica on the left side of the image…I just know someone was going to ask. :)

The couple in the photo is of my Grandpa and Grandma Hanson circa 1929.

Recycled paper envelopes

While sorting through some stuff I came across an envelope template that I got at a garage sale this summer.

I remembered I had an awesome coffee table book about the Cayman Islands from the free shelf at our local library. Since a multitude of the photos are full page they seemed perfect to try the envelope template out on.

I’m getting the hang of the shape cutter tool(also a garage sale find).

Experimenting with cutouts

I’ve been wanting to use these circuit board parts for a while but wasn’t sure what to pair them with.

I came across this picture in my pile of old photos. The couple just looked so unhappy, as if their life was just some cruel joke.

After putting the back to back pages together I felt as if I really need to say something about them being “behind bars”.

The words wrapping around the cutout read:
A prison of their own making. Marriage is what you make it. Make it full of love.
