Stitching Along

Amy's Stitchalong has been a blast!  The only downside is that I realized that I needed some reading glasses to do such small work.  Here is a picture of how my sampler is coming along.  But, don't judge based on my sampler.  Take a look at everyone's work at http://39squares.blogspot.com.

Leaf ribbon

I just had to use up the last of my leaf ribbon for this eyeglass case I made myself.  What a cool ribbon!  My favorite shop up in WI Rapids carries it.  (only 3 hours from home:)  Time for a road trip:D

Art Journal Entry

I really don't know how I got by without an art journal before.  Since I prepped each page with acrylic paint, this gives me a chance to play differently then I do with some of my other mixed media projects.  I'm loving all of the experimentation.  This page isn't done yet -- I still need to add some of my own journaling to it, but I was so pleased with the colors that I just had to show you it now;o)

Inky weekend

This weekend I played with the new Ranger Distress Inks.  This tag is for a tag swap I'm participating in.  The flower was made out of vintage book pages and ink, with a button sewn in the middle.  Enjoy your Monday!The Help

Playing

My brother-in-law's birthday is in a few days.  I sat down to make him a card and instead ended up with this canvas piece.  I have such a hard time making masculine cards.  Anyways, I started with just the tag and playing with some of my new Distress Inks.  Pumice, Sage, Olive and more!  I like how this piece turned out...but now I still need to make his card:o)  Maybe another day.

Looking for suggestions, please

When I was visiting my mom over the weekend, she had come across some old postcards that my grandma had sent us when she used to travel.  My grandma was for Austria, so she used to visit her relatives there and was big on sending us postcards almost daily.  Anyways, since I want to keep these and be able to show off both sides of the cards, I can't really figure out what to do.  Any suggestions?

 

 

More in my art journal

I can't believe how awesome it is to create your own art journal!  Here is another entry.
