Girls day part 2

As I mentioned in my previous post, Little J and I did a bunch of crafting on Sunday afternoon. Not just the two salt dough recipes.

I made some cards while she painted.

Once again…thanks to Elizabeth for the awesome handmade paper used in the “Home is where the Heart is” card.

While she waited for her paint and glue to dry, she went off to play. I started work on another scrappy sewing project. Basically grabbed scraps from the box and started sewing.

Here’s a little sneak peek…

Beauty of nature

I was inspired to pull out the book I used for my friend Elizabeth’s AB 101 class I took several years ago.

I never did complete the class. I figure I can join back in where I left off since she’s currently reteaching the class for free on her blog.

My altered book theme is Nature.

It was so fun to play in paint and glue again. I have to keep at it since it makes me feel so carefree.

Card crazy

This summer I have been so “not creative”. Yes, I have done a few things but they were more utilitarian that artsy. More on those in later post. I’ve missed it and I think a bit of that creative energy just had to come out.

I made 7 cards in short order mostly from scraps.

Hopefully the creative energy will continue…or at least kick in big time after Labor Day when the kids are back in school. Until then I’m still trying to soak up as much “mom time” as I can with them.

Quote tip-in

I have a passion for words. Quotes especially. I find myself making more and more quote tip-ins. I guess that means I’ll need to put together another book one day.

We’ve been watching the Hatfields & McCoys mini series.

I think that’s what brought out the photo. It’s actually from an old Reminisce magazine. My folks used to get that one…I’ve saved some of them since they have such fun stuff inside.

Thanks to Elizabeth for the awesome handmade paper behind the photo. She makes the best handmade paper I’ve ever seen!

Scrap inspired

Bits and pieces laying around came together for me yesterday.

Wish that happened more often.

Candle wrapping

In the continuing effort to use what I have…I decided to make a new wrap to go around this candle tin.
I got the candle a few years ago after Christmas on clearance…super deep discount that I couldn’t pass up. Especially when I realized that the ugly Christmas paper would come right off.

Sweet!

I used watercolor paper as my base. The background color was achieved with distress inks, dress pattern tissue and found text.

I sifted through some of my new stash from a couple of swaps. I’m sure some of you may recognize some of your stuff. I love new fodder. It can be very inspiring.

This is going to be a gift…I hope the recipient likes it!

Quote pages

After a little nudge…I thought I’d show some of my pages. Some of these have been shown on the blog before quite a while ago. The rest were made in my pre-blogging days.
