Card for The Paper Variety



This card is for The Paper Variety's Tic Tac Toe !! :) challenge this week.





I chose the right column. The stamped image is from Hero Arts; it's a card, and I used a scallop punch and a scallop border punch... I must not be in the crafting mojo still, but I wanted to participate, so...

The Paper Variety Sketch




I made this layout from this week's The Paper Variety challenge:  a sketch by Jana Eubank. Speaking of The Paper Variety, I wanted to thank Yara for sending me such a wonderful box of goodies that I won on the latest The Paper Variety's blog hop! I can't wait to start using them!

Journal I Made at My Local Library

The Journal -- Finished


Metals: Dragonfly with purple square
Heart and Live, Laugh, Love with clear and green bead



Before I added the stuff around the edge and the Tattered Angels (probably a better photo, but I like the Finished Product much better!

I made this journal at the library.  It is my favorite craft I've done at the library.  When I brought it home, I hadn't sprayed it with Tattered Angels or added the little paper to cover the wrinkles on the edge! I'm even happier now!  The cover is muslin to which we added fabric crayons rubbed over stamps and an acrylic paint wash.  We then hand-sewed in the 4 signatures (5 sheets of paper each).  It was so much fun that I might have to try it again.  The purple circle is polymer clay with an impression of a dragonfly in it! Can you tell that I'm proud of my first attempt at making a book!

Thanks for visiting! Don't be afraid to leave a comment--though be gentle--it's my first one!
Have a great day!
