Custom Coasters

Hi again!

Just wanted to share some custom coasters

that I made for some "country"

folk in the family!

This is their "logo" that they  use on 

many things.

I had to print it onto acetate and then

carefully cut it out in order

to use it as my template on these 

coasters.

These little trinkets I made using shrink dinks.

And I tied them to the gift at the end.

The next 3 photos are of coasters I made for

their kids.

These are not the finished coasters.

After this they were sanded smooth and sealed.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

Thanks for stopping in!

Marathon of card making!!

Hi again!

It has been ages since I have had

chance to come and post anything.

Sorry.

But I am here to show you somethings 

that I have been working on.

Cards...of course!

This first photo is of

some sympathy cards for 

a family of dear friends.

Used very sparkly papers.

The next 3 photos are cards I made 

after I did a marathon of Copic colouring!

LOL

The bear is with Prisma pencils though.

These next 2 photos are from the same

Stampin' up set.  I just used

some real buttons on the last pic.

It will definitely cost more for postage.  ;)

Now the next 3 are random ideas 

for cards.  The 2nd one is use of washi tape.

That's new for me.

These next 4 are fun friend cards. 

we can always send these to brighten 

someones day!

Now these next 3 are watercolored 

critters.  It's just blobs of 

pretty colour and then outlined 

with a fine tip zig pen.

I am so sorry that I can't 

remember where I saw this idea.

I need to write these down...I know!

These last pics are my fave!

Its a box card.

I coloured the mugs during my Copic marker 

marathon!  haha

If you youtube videos...you will

find so many cute ideas for this one.

I will post more of this type I'm sure.

It's my fave!

Sorry for the OVERLOAD of photos

on this post!!

It has just been so long since I have been here!

Thanks for stopping by!!

50th Anniversary!

Here are a few pics of a Anniversary card that I made over the summer.

It was for my parents 50th!

Sorry the colour is a bit off on these pics...but you get the idea. ;)

Any questions...don't hesitate to leave a comment.

Thanks for stopping by!

many delays...

Hi again!

It has been quite some time since I have posted.  Many things have been taking

up my time and my thoughts.  But I would like to share a few cards that

I have done over about the last 6 months.

Many Thank You cards have been needed.  So that is mostly what I have done.

I have way to many to post all of them.

So here are a few...

I will post a few other cards that I have done some time ago but have not had time to post them.

As always...thank you for stopping by!!

Love Card!

Here is a quick card that I did.

I used a new damask background stamp.

It's a very easy card to do!

Thanks for stopping in!

ME & THEE!

This is another project that has been in the 'vault' for quite sometime!

I finally found a frame that I liked and that I thought would work for this one.

The photo really doesn't look as good as it is in person.

Wooden letters all painted black and the golden frame matches our room perfectly!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Feature Wall!!

So I have wanted to do this technique for quite some time and I finally

decided this was the 'lucky' wall!

It is a wall that we thought should be the feature of the living room...

especially because it houses the fireplace!

Use your stencil with gloss or glaze. I used poly urethane cause that is what I had.

It deepens the color slightly and adds a nice sheen!

I love the outcome!

Gave me the unique feature wall I was looking for!! Hope you try it!

Here is before....

This is beginning...

The rest are the finale'!

Time to do more in another room!! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

The end result!

Well...I finally posted the finished projects!

I thoroughly enjoyed doing both of them!  And will probably do more!

Here is a collage of the paper wreath!  It is now hanging in my office (which I figured was appropriate since it is made from a very old dictionary!)

And here is the drywall mud canvas art work.

Next time I will do the back black first though. It was time consuming to do

it after the mudding was done.

Well....if you have any questions about the projects please don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks for stopping in!!
