just for fun

I've been crafting just for fun.  My Christmas cards are patiently waiting for me to go to the store for adhesives.  In the meantime I played a little.....

a thank you card using up some Melissa Frances papers, maya road frames and flowers that came in a little glass bottle.  I used Ranger Enamel for the flower centers and added some Prima Snow paste for a little glisten.

I saw these somewhere and decided to try them using things I had.  Next time I will use silver wire.  The black is too dark.  These will be nice additions to future mixed media projects.

and I have always wanted to make one of these.  What is it?  You will have to wait and see.  I need to paint, distress and assemble, but all the components are ready.  I really want to make one for Halloween but that will have to wait.......

We also attended the community tree lighting last week.  Lots of happy kids, cookies and hot chocolate.

there was also a Gingerbread village:  "Barrio Tucson".  the buildings are familiar ones around the city.  Notice the javalinas (pigs maybe to you).  and the cactus.  It was very colorful!

Lots of color!!

Check back soon for information on 2017 Sketches and Scraps!  This is the monthly card/project class I will be offering.  It will be sent via email for you to complete at your leisure.

thanks for stopping by.  Hope you are staying warm!
