    UHU glue challenge

    November 10, 2008 - By 


    My good friend, Elizabeth, in conjunction with UHU glue came up with a fun challenge. Use a sample of UHU glue in an altered art project using a magazine. You can read the full details here.

    Since I had a book for a RR I needed to work in I figured I could use it for the challenge. Theme of the book is Beauty. Basically anything you see as beauty in your own mind is game. I’ve never been on a tropical beach but in my minds eye it would be absolutely beautiful!

    Playtime

    November 4, 2008 - By 

    I spent a very pleasant afternoon in the craft room with my daughter. Daddy had come home sick so we figured we’d spend some time on a quiet activity while he rested.

    I don’t really understand art dolls or why people make them but am always willing to experiment. Moonflower child was actually kind of fun to create.

    I also made these 2 Map 4×4’s…I still have 2 more to make.

    What I really should have been doing today was working on my 12 days of Christmas swap that is due in a couple weeks. I just can’t seem to get into making these gifts this year!

    Playtime altered book

    November 2, 2008 - By 

    Since I completed my Just for Fun altered book I had nowhere to play. I started a new book this morning. I’m calling this one my Playtime altered book.

    This is the first spread.

    I started smack in the middle of the book for a change. I was basically trying out some new supplies I acquired.

    I went to an awesome sale a few blocks from here last week and got all of these supplies for $8.50!!! Everything was unopened or nearly newly! The gal ran a rubber stamp business and was moving across the country so she decided to liquidate.

    As luck would have it, I didn’t have much cash and the kids were along, otherwise I’d have likely way overspent my budget. You just don’t come by sale s like that very often!!
