Week #12 and Some Snowflakes!

For this last challenge at TheCraftBarn the theme was embossing. You can't tell by the photo but the ornaments, crown and sentiment are heat embossed. So this calendar is completed now. I am ready for 2013 now!

So we will have a white Christmas again this year. We got some snow yesterday. Isn't it beautiful?!

This is it for now.

Have a creative Wednesday!

Art Journal = Creative Book

I don't like to call it an Art Journal as I don't write any journaling in it and it is not a mixed media type of thing either. So its official personnality is a creative book. I made it myself from stash on my desk, a lot of recycling, coptic binding and it took me over 4 months to completed. Today I am showing you some pages but I think there will be a second part and maybe a third one, I'll see...

 

This is it for today!

Have a creative Friday!

Week #11 - WhenThings Don't Work Together!

It all started with an easy challenge at TheCraftBarn this week. Circles. And it ends up with this page that I don't really like. I don't know why I choose these colors. I don't like the almost look like a watermelon slice circle and the other almost like a pie.... I will have to live with it because I can't tear off my page. My book is already sewn together. Sometimes things don't want to work together!

Have a creative monday!

Mini Christmas Tree

Did you ever soak mini Christmas tree in bleach? You know the green ones from the dollar store. I read that on a blog. So sorry I can't remember where it was! Soak them about 20-30 minutes. Rinse. Let dry. And then spray with a mix of alcohol and few drops of alcohol ink.  I love these colors!

Have a creative Monday!

Week #4

This week at The Craft Barn they are challenging us with doodles for our calendar page. I didn't want to make something similar to my february page, so I went lightly on doodling for the butterfly, wall paper and tablecloth...The jar is a digital stamp from LimeCitron.

Boitatou An Altered Shipping Box

Today, I am showing you an altered shipping box, originally, these were made to ship cards, thick cards, you know when you add beautiful flowers and ornaments on card and they don't fit in an envelope anymore...I decided to altered mine with a small shadow box.

When close and almost ready to be ship, only have to write the address 

A fun little project.

Recycled Art Box

Today I am sharing the way I am making my little art box (for wall or as shelfsitter). I have several of these almost 4" x 6" sturdy old game boxes.

I first attached the lid to the bottom with masking tape. And glued some paper strips all around.  

And finished by gluing some paper on the front and back.  

I don't like mod podge or gesso so I transfered my own pattern directly on the vintage paper. 

I colored the image with my distress inks. 

Added some shadows 

Added some details 

Added more shadows 

Added some highlights and I was done. 

Enjoy art! 

Have a creative Sunday!
