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.

Fond Memories Of My Grandmother

I made this book in memory of my Grandmother. Hope you enjoy.

My Grandmother and sister Frances.

Button, button who got the button

Grandma use to let us play with her tin of buttons. I still love buttons to this day. What treasures.

More buttons

Love playing with her buttons.

Were you lucky enough to play with a church doll. My Grandmother use to let us make dolls from her hankies. We added a penny for her head and made a knot in the corners for her hands.

Paper Imagery Design-Match Box Swap
