ATC & WINTER TAG SWAPS

Here is my second ATC swap I did with Tee's swaps. http://thealteredpaper.blogspot.com/ go sign up for some great fun! My usual back ground added the paper cameo from a greeting card,some tissue pattern paper, a gold flourish, black cord and a paper rose. I also tried something different this time. I found at a yard sale some 3 1/2 x 21/2 picture frames . Couldn't believe it! The exact same size of the ATC's. So I used on this time to see how well it would work out. With the flap on the back, it makes it come with its own built in stand for show casing. Great! I feel bad because I had two swap partners for this swap and I had them done way ahead and now forgot who got this ATC. I will post next on the other one and post both my partners blogs and you can go there and see when they blog about it. :(:( sorry girls.This is the winter stick pin swap at Tee's that I made. My partner was Valery at http://itsanalienlife.blogspot.com/ Go check out her neat site! Sparkly blue back ground paper stamped in black snow & ice the theme for the swap. Added some icy white, silver, and blue snow flakes. Used the pop up on the white one to sick the pins in. Here are the stick pins I made. Used white, silver, and blue sticking with the theme again. We were to make 3 pins for the swap. Added my info to the back.
Cool in Florida this sat morning, so there will not be many yard sales. So think I will work in art/craft room cleaning and working on some new projects. Then watch the NFL play off's. My Steeler's flubbed out :( Oh well next year. I think I will go over and join the Junk Journal Swap at the new site I joined. This is such a fun site, with lot of swaps. That is the part I like even tho this will only be the second one I joined so far. http://minialbumscraps.ning.com . I do most of my swapping at Tee's :) Well all for now thanks for looking and come back soon.

MATCH BOX I SENT

This is the match box I sent to Victoria at http://thingsilearnfrombear.blogspot.com/ in the swap hosted by Tee. http://creationsbytee.blogspot.com/ Went with the shabby pink this time. A peak in side!On one side stamped bird on vintage sheet music. And some pink tissue paper.Here is a close up of the goodies inside. WEATHER IN GREENVILLE PA: Hot in the high 80's with some rain yesterday. Not much. I seem to be having some problems with blogger, I don't think it is my puter as it is new. Going to a couple yard sales this am then clean up my work area and maybe work on something. Having fridge problems so I took everything out and cooked most of it. Have to make some blueberry cobbler when I get back. Altered the glass case but still not happy with it. Well all for now thanks for looking and come back soon

ANOTHER ALTERED MINI BOOK

This is a book I had that is about this same size as the mini comp books. I made this one for my DIL for her birthday on Friday. I seen other's using corrugated card board in their art work. So I thought that I would give it a try. Sun flower is the card board, on a back ground of ink distressed crackled scrapbook paper. Inked the flower and put on a little yellow paint. Vintage button, fake rhinestone, and embossed wall paper strips, with a few wipes of yellow paint. The leaves are cut out from another paper with flowers. Distressed all around and fashion yarn added.The back is green stripped scrapbook paper distressed with ink. Butterfly cut from note card, bird cut from old bird book, and he is chirping fake rhinestones music notes on a piece of vintage sheet music. The front and back of book. A little tea stained lace on the bottom.The inside pages of the mini book are brown craft type paper. Cover of mini book is brown chip board. I seem to be making a lot of small piece's of art. I have about a dozen larger canvases ready to work on and cant seem to figure out what to do with them. Maybe small is my thing. I will ask Pearl to help me get started on canvas when I get back to Florida.Went to a few yard sales this morning and got a few things, I will post about them next time.
All for now thanks for looking and come back soon.
