Two Mini Altered Books

New Year

It's been a while since I last posted! D: No reason for it really, I hope to post more this year.

I love http://thekathrynwheel.blogspot.com/, she makes her own altered calendar pages. I decided to do it this  year too!

I found a six page board book, and started!

Haunted Houses

My New Studio

Still a lot of work to do, but here is my new studio!

Pretty Little Post Card

I made this post card for my great friend Kira! It's tons of layers and a bit 3d so I had to send it in an envelope! I had a ton of fun trying new things!

From August 2010

More pages in my altered journal.

A Question of Destiny - Altered Journal

The first layout in my newest altered book. I've decided to take some time off from swaps and focus on my crafting, use up my supplies, and make things to sell. I'm making this book for myself. I've used some of my favorite painting techniques and had fun with it. I've learned that not gluing everything down right away makes my designs look much better, lol. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to leave the white and black page blank for journaling or do some collage art on it.

What do you think?

Chunky Houses

I haven't had much time to craft, but over the last month I was working on these Chunky Houses. They are not so chunky though. I was so excited to use the bingo cards as backgrounds, they are one of my favorite items to use now! I painted each background and use coordination papers and vintage illustrations.









AND I made this Dragon atc for my boyfriend! <3

56 Days

Wow, it's been 56 days since I last posted! I guess I've been busy. I have a few projects to post, but mostly i haven't had much inspiration or time to do anything. Bleh! Being uninspired sucks.

Okay I made this ATC sized canvas painting and collage for a fellow craftster. We were in the jar of whimsies swap together. It's just something I quickly made while I packed up the box, but seriously I love this, it was kind of hard to get rid of. Just acrylic paint and some paper collage.



I made these as a birthday present for a July Craftster Baby! They are based of of these absolutely amazing NOMs I'm not so talented but I did my best and turned it a bit into my style! I used paper clay, for the first time, it was awesome. And Acrylic paint goes on really well, I was suprised! They are pretty tiny!


I made this for the 44cent swap! Just a fun collage onto a vintage bingo card! I loves bingo cards!


I have a few other paper crafts to show, but I'm going to wait for them to be recieved before I post!

Oh and Kira! I'll get a postcard and some crafty stuff out to as soon as I can!

New ATCs

I've been having fun with the new Graphic 45 paper with these lovely Bathing Beauties! I also found an awesome number stamp set!! I thought it would be fun to combine them for a set of ATCs. Here are the first two I've made!

#2

I painted the background on this ATC with acrylics on watercolor paper. I used bubble wrap to make the black polka dots. I love that technique! I tried something different by painting on the triangles, I think I'll do it again soon!

#4

I love the green polka dot paper on this one, it's become my all time favorite scrapbook paper I've seen. It is from October Afternoon's  Fly a Kite paper line. It's called Fireflies! Actually I'm pretty sure all the paper used on this ATC, besides the bathing beauty, is from the two newest lines from October Afternoon.
