RAK's are a good thing!

I haven't had a lot of time to create but what I did was make a few items to send off as a RAK (Random Act of Kindness)
to some of my online pals. I had fun creating these and I hope the recipients enjoy them.
I will be doing more in the future. Rak's are a good thing and it makes me happy to send them off!
Please feel free to comment!

Here is a Thank You card I made for Diann who sent me the really cool earrings:




These are some wood plaques that were altered and sent out to my pals:








Thanks for looking and enjoy your day!

Its been a while...

I have been neglecting my blog. I don't want to but things happen.
I have some random cards that I have made and a couple of 3d pieces I made for my girls.
I have also been scrapping but I did not take pictures of the pages yet. When I do I will post them.
Thanks for looking and remember all comments are welcome.
Here are the cards:







Instead of regular birthday cards for my girls, I decided to be a bit different:





Thanks for taking the time.

12 Days of Christmas Day 3 Tag

Last night after work I decided to attempt another Tim tag.
Again, improvise was my favorite word.
Here is what I came up with.
My tissue tape flower looks pretty darn sad. At least I tried.

Tim Holtz inspired Framed Mirror

Since I do work at Michael's, it seems that when I am walking
from the back of the store to the front, I am always looking
for different things to alter or use on some of my art.
The latest being the unfinished wood framed mirror.
I used many Tim Holtz items and created this:



Here is a Link to it on Picasa so you can zoom and look at it to see more detail.

There is a zoom feature that you can click on and get a better look.

I used paper from the Lost and Found pack, Idea-ology items, Distress inks, Paint dabbers, Grunge Board, you name it, I think I used it.

Hope you like it.

Mini canvas and Bracelet

A friend of mine asked me to make a Mini Canvas to give to her co-worker.
She wanted to give it as a gift.
So, I came up with this. I had fun making it and I am now making more. I will post those later.
It is a mini canvas that can be found at Michael's. It comes with the little
easel and the size is 2.5" square.


My friend Toni and I had bought some Bamboo place mats at Tuesday Morning for a very
nice price.There were brown ones and black ones. We took them apart to use the pieces in a variety of crafts. Toni was clever enough to make this beautiful bracelet. She drilled holes in the sides and used epoxy over Graphic 45 paper! I think it turned out great!
Let me know what you think by leaving me a comment!

Update with a card and ...

My niece's 18th birthday is coming up so I made this card for her. I nicknamed her
"Dahling" So I though this card would work for her.



I also altered this canvas with trains!! I love trains and I love Graphic 45 paper!
This was a fun project.
