Picture Heavy Post

Hi Everyone!

I want to warn you this is a picture heavy post!

My uncle was diagnosed with liver cancer in October...

giving him 2 months...

he is still going strong, ornery as ever.

This is a book frame that I made...about half way through I knew I was making it for him.



I took an old book that was missing several pages in the middle...problem was there wasn't a lot of strength to it so I took some book board and made a "cover for it. I took more pages out of the middle and cut rectangle "holes out of each side...glued the pages together and even added some harder glue from a glue gun to give more texture. The out side of the cover has bead, fiber, course and pumice mediums. Of course lots of paint...regular as well as Lumiere for the luster and shine. The image is from Crafts and Me..I used Copics and lots of glitter! The poem is just something I wrote.

Hope you like it!

A Birthday Card!

Hi!

Hope this finds you doing well today!

I am so excited! 

I am wearing my San Fransico T-shirt and am rearing to get the game started!

I must admit that I am a 2 timer...

I love my Patriots but have been a 49er fan since 1987 when I moved to AZ.

So I am really excited to have my long time team be a part of the SuperBowl

after such a long time of not even making it into the playoffs!

Anyway~

I am here to show a card I made using one of Scrapper's Delights

latest images called

Kyoko!

She is just a doll!

Using orange kind of bugged me...

I am so not an orange person....

don't even eat them and only drink the juice in a mimosa!

So I dirtied it us a bit with distress inks.

I kept it simple and used a few old style looking papers!

There is a challenge going on over there!

MAke sure you check it out!

Hope you like it!

GO NINERS!

Off Colored Challenge

(this should have went yesterday but I could not get blogger to add my pic)

Sorry I am late!

I ended up with a horrible migraine and was in bed both Thursday and Friday!

Yesterday started the next challenge at Guylou's Inimitability.

The challenge is brought to us by Chana

and she has chosen a color challenge!

You projects must use...

ORANGE, BLUE and GRAY

and add a humorous sentiment.

I am not sure why but I had a hard time with this....

none of my papers looked right or

fit with what I wanted to end up with!
So I made a digital card...

I used one of the newest Lotus images called

Lotus and The Broken Umbrella!

The gray is the background paper and the umbrella!
