Well, as much as I can share for now.
Stay tuned…
These are a bunch of thirft store frames that I attached together to form one large grouping. I then sprayed the whole unit black. Then the whole works sat in the storage room for WAY LONGER than I care to mention until today.
I put together some pictures I had laying around with a pressed flower piece I threw together and TA-DA, something new for the wall. See what happens when you have a cold and rainy day!!

These were so fun to make!!
I started with an 8.5×11 sheet of periwinkle cardstock. With an old credit card, I spread out some orange and yellow craft paints.
After that was dry, I used rubber stamps, more paint, markers, and stencils to create lots of background interest.
When I was happy with it I cut 9 ATC’s from my full sheet of cardstock.
I free handed a VW bug to make a template then cut little bugs out of discarded book pages. Paint and marker were applied in a very loose manner.
I punched wheels from black “handmade paper” …I put that in quotes since it was actually store bought. I then used little flower sticker for some fun hubcaps.
The part that I love the most is the genuine VW key attached to each one. I grew up with tons of Volkswagons. My dad and his friend would buy them cheap, fix them up and resell. Sometimes they would just part them out. Dad never threw out anything so I had just enough VW keys laying around to give these ATC’s just a little extra punch!
There was only one problem. I broke my toe on Saturday. I was lucky enough to score my own seat on the bus on the way there.
There was the bow maker…
I am very fortunate to be a stay-at-home mom!
I’m very excited to say that I’ve become a finalist in the UHU “new gluer” challenge.
I fell in love with the UHU Photo Glue stick long ago, so when the call came out for a new “gluer” I was all over that!
My latest page in “Nature’s Majesty”.
I colored the illustration already in the book with watercolor crayons. I then masked it off along with the words with painters tape. I always stick, un-stick and stick again the painters tape to my clothes before applying to the page. Especially on pages that are weak of fiber like these.
I sponged on black craft paint and let dry overnight. This morning I stamped the swirls with white pigment ink then gently brushed on yellow and copper pearlex powders.
The journally was done with a white gel pen.
Don’t you think!?!? It’s got my name written all over it! Of course we differ in pronunciation. I say “Holly” and she says it another way.
Of course, it’s my theory is that her mom thought HollyBerry was cute but changed the spelling to Halle to be different. Hollywood agents likely thought it might be “too cute” and had her use Hal-lee.
But folks look at the name… Halle.
Break it down.
Hall-E.
Don’t you see it.
My name was picked out of a Norwegian baby name book. It actually was a boys name..sad but true.
