Decorative Gift Bags

 I really wanted to do something more to the front of two floral gift bags that were given to me so I decided for my September 1st Through the Craft Room Door design Team project would be using Le Anns World. I colored the digitals and added some fabric behind it. I used mostly colored pencils and crayons to color them.

Digitals used:

LeAnn's Party Digital Stamp

Rainy Day Suzie Digital Stamp

Both Bags Together

August 2020 Craft Giveaway

Vintage Bella and Friends

Today, I finished my design team project for Through the Craft Room Door. Sometimes I have an easy time but over the last week I wanted to make something for myself not to sell. This week I had my birthday. I was recently given the wooden heart and a quilled hat with flowers all over it. The Hat was falling apart so I broke the hat so only the flowers and leaves were left. I then glued with fabri-fix the quilled paper flowers and leaves onto the wooden heart. I knew I wanted a focal point. I decided that I would use the Bella and Friends digital stamp from Bugaloo Stamps. I printed it on Coffee dyed paper very small which most stamps I print are not able to keep the details as great. I became very happy with the piece I made.

Altered Rodex Cards

Sorry, I haven't been posting a lot like I normally do. Between the kids and my grandma recently having knee surgery. I also have college, this blog, my YouTube and Etsy store. I been so busy some things fell behind this is one of them.  I was trying to use up some of my left over wallpaper that was on my desk as drop paper. I had a bunch of Rodex cards so I decided to use them. I also did this for my letter X for 3 in 30 alphabet challenge. I went with extras.

Vintage Japanese Collage Digital Kit

 I made this Digital kit for those who don't like making the same old junk journal but are interested in the unusual. This includes 7 collage pages. The ephemera has 2 envelopes, 2 belly bands, 8 playing card size journaling cards, 2 mini filing folders, 16 tabs, 3 tags, and 16 labels. I think the variety may help with your creations.

Blue Butterflies

Through the Craft Room Door Design Team Project
I started with the back of a guitar. I used permanent stick glue to collage some book pages to the piece. I painted gesso over top.  I added old random pieces of stuff like: puzzle pieces, wooden pegs, paper clips, and washers. I painted gesso over top of them pieces too. I grabbed my acrylics and painted a dark blue mixed with lighter blue onto the old random bits. I painted on purple, light purple, and dark blue mixture. I stencil painted the middle with light blue paint. I cut out and glued some blue butterflies that I bought  from Maremi's Small Art.

Frog and Toad

I am starting a new junk journal This one is going to be Frog and Toad. When I found this book a few pages were ripped out and torn. So I couldn't use it the same way I would normally alter a golden book. I used a Teresa's Garden digital kit from MyHopeCreations. It goes perfectly for this journal the whole black and white with a bit of color. I did make a YouTube video of me using and showing the digital kit.
