    Pages have landed in Cyprus

    October 12, 2011 - By 

    I’ve been anxiously awaiting confirmation that the package I sent to Cath in Cyprus had arrived safely.  I was getting very worried even though the post office assured me that things can get tied up in customs from time to time. 
    Cath is another member of the colors swap I’ve been particpating in over the last few months.
    Her colors were yellow and black. Not my usual fair but that’s where the challenge lies. 

                                                                             

     The photos are not the best…I can’t remember why anymore but alas…once they are sent off there isn’t much chance for retakes.

                                                                                   

     This one is a kalidescope that I made from 
    a photo of a marigold.
    These black eyed susans are from my in-laws garden.
    Thanks to Elizabeth 
    for the awesome yellow handmade paper!!

    Little bits of creativity

    September 8, 2011 - By 

    I’ve been working on a few things over the last couple weeks.

    I made the cover for my ABC_alteredbookclub 8th Anniversary swap book. I’m waiting on the last page to arrive before binding.
    I used Citra Solv paper for the background then cut the flower from a photograph I took a few years ago.
    I added the paper flower and “Joy” brad for interest.

    Since we have a few September birthdays in our family I’ve been busy making cards. This one is for my mom. She loves butterflies and flowers.

    Lastly, I’ll share a little peek at a mixed-media painting I’ve been working on. It’s not finished…definitely a work in progress.
