    A little love…

    January 13, 2009 - By 


    Since it’s so dang cold here I thought maybe a little love could warm us up! Current temp here is -15 F.

    I used mica on the left side of the image…I just know someone was going to ask. 🙂

    The couple in the photo is of my Grandpa and Grandma Hanson circa 1929.

    Recycled paper envelopes

    January 13, 2009 - By 


    While sorting through some stuff I came across an envelope template that I got at a garage sale this summer.

    I remembered I had an awesome coffee table book about the Cayman Islands from the free shelf at our local library. Since a multitude of the photos are full page they seemed perfect to try the envelope template out on.

    I’m getting the hang of the shape cutter tool(also a garage sale find).

    Experimenting with cutouts

    January 9, 2009 - By 


    I’ve been wanting to use these circuit board parts for a while but wasn’t sure what to pair them with.

    I came across this picture in my pile of old photos. The couple just looked so unhappy, as if their life was just some cruel joke.

    After putting the back to back pages together I felt as if I really need to say something about them being “behind bars”.

    The words wrapping around the cutout read:
    A prison of their own making. Marriage is what you make it. Make it full of love.
