We give thanks ...

This morning I decided to participate in Cheery Lynn Designs' Give Thanks challenge.  I used the Sweet Williams strip and the Pair of Ferns dies.  UPDATE ALERT!  I had to take a new photo ... the colors in the previous one was so off.  This is true color!

21st birthday wishes

This 5x7 canvas is for my dear friend, Alice, to give to her granddaughter.  Alice cried when she saw it.  I'm glad (not glad that she cried LOL) that she liked it.  The photo captured a special moment between Alice and her infant granddaughter.  I removed the background from the photo, changed it to black and white, printed it on shrink plastic and then mounted it on a pair of Tim Holtz' grunge butterfly wings covered with blue glitter.  Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Sister!

Today is sister's birthday.  I made this way back on July 5, and I've been chomping at the bit to post it as well as having a lot of trouble not spilling the beans or telling her about what I did.  She has it by now, so I can let the world see it.

I watched a video on Tim Holtz's site on how to do unique things with kraft glassine. I found this photo of mom and dad from mom's prom (she was prom queen!) and thought it would be perfect for a vintage project.

Motivation

I wanted to make a mini album with some of my favorite motivational quotes.  I decided instead to start with this 4"x4" standing page (not sure what to call it, so that's what it is).
