Welcome to my blog-I hope you enjoy!

Altered Bottle For Artchix-Sister Site Swap

My swap partner is Lisa Robinson-One of her favorite colors is green so I used alcohol ink to tint the inside of the bottle green. Also she likes vintage buttons so I put a fairy in the bottle with some vintage buttons. I also used vintage buttons to make the flowers on top. I sure hope she like it.

Old Oak Tree

I love this old oak tree. Love how the branch twisted back and form a heart shape. I see this tree every day we walk the Ravine Gardens Park.

Paper Whimsy-Swap

The theme is "Day & Night" Gothis Arches. Using ""Begin the Day & When Night Comes". I choose to use the same image. I colored her dress with markers. I think I really like these young ladies.

Another Artchix Sister Site Lottery

This theme is "Spooklicious". Great theme and fun to do.

"COLORS OF FALL"

Artchix sister site lottery-"Colors of Fall" is the theme. I think I used some very bright fall colors. What do you think?

ALTOID TIN SWAP With "THE SUM OF ALL MY ATCs

This swap was with "The Sum of all My ATCs" and Claudine Crimer is the host. We were to alter a tin and add a gift inside to our partner. It was a lot of fun and I choose the sea as my theme. I used bottle caps to make into magnets as the gift. I sure who ever my partner is they like them. I can't wait to see what I get.

Gothic Arches For Artchix Sister-Site Swap

The arches are always fun to create. My favorite new trick is to use wax paper on part of the collage. I learned this new trick from the "Romantic Gothic Ghost" work shop, I just took. You crinkle the wax paper up-add some ink to age it. Use a glue stick to attach to your collage and use a credit card or bone folder to smooth out. I just love the look of it.

AND THE WINNER IS MARY WILKINS!!!

Paper Imagery Design-Halloween Bottle Swap

I used little bottles about 1" tall.. I added alcohol ink to the inside and let dry. I cut out the PID images of Marie and carefully put her into the bottle and added cheese cloth to the inside to hold Marie in place. Made a small tag added Boo to it. I added beads around the top of the bottle.

Romantic Gothic Ghost

I so glad I took this work shop. I had so much fun making this Victorian Cone.

Marie Antoinette

Paper Imagery Designs is having a mingle-theme Maire Antoinette-and here is what I did. I used a 7" by 5" back of a picture frame. And applied my collage to it. I had some black lace I used for curtains. I used glue dots to give a 3 d effect. Added some bling and a charm I made of Marie.
