new stuff

a couple of little scrap buster folios.  They are both made the same way but I started with different size base papers. close to 4 x 6 and 3 x 4 in size

Pockets, tuck spots, little notebooks inside spots.  quick, fun, and a definate good use of scraps.

Got these new embossing/cut dies

check out the details

and look at the color change after using Prima Sparks paint.  the detail remains but the color really pops

looks like metal!

and an oldie but another great scrap user  3 x 3 one sheet journal

again, lots of inter active pages - check out some below

and there are 3 top loading pockets, along with 3 side loading ones

Spring is on its way!

Tucson stopped picking up glass in their recycling bins so I will be putting mine to another use....

a little grass, flowers and maybe even a squirrel or two and these will hang from the trees.

and finally, an easy but dangerously delicious dessert from yesterday.  I will not show you what it looks like today but I will not make it again when there are just the two of us here to eat it......

stay warm and remember, that snow has to stop eventually!

stop back again when you can.

And if you are interested in anything you see here (except the cake) just let me know!
 

what???! already the middle of February?

 I haven't been gone just lazy with blogging.

I found this and decided to finish something I started 25 years ago!  Yep, 1995 to be exact, and probably close to the date too.

I've been working pretty steadily but it doesn't look like I will finish before Sunday.  I will continue until it is done.  After all 25 years?? come on....

And I found these CD holders, so I decided to do something with them.  Paint, paper, embellishements, signatures and they are complete.  Three little folios for someone to use and enjoy.

This one still needs it's middle signature....

Also started another altered book but not too much to show yet.  for now....

the book cover has been painted.  I hope to add some flowers and ribbons.

Awaken is it's title so that at least gives me some direction.  The colors remind me of Spring. Previously it was a black covered book I started as a December Daily (maybe 2014) but it has new life.

How about you?

Stay warm my friends and safe, too!

Back with more art, projects and news!!!
