December and January art

My December 2013 & January 2014 Art, Journal, & Scrapbook projects!!

I did this from the You Tube tutorial by Einat Kessler.   Love it so much I haven't put it away yet.  It's still in living room.

I bought a Zutter binder with my Christmas bonus from my work and love it.  this is the first of what I hope is many handmade journals/scrapbooks.

I made this over my Christmas break and love it!   took me forever to finish it though.  I had it set out on the kitchen table for about a week before I finally found the stars and swirls at Hobby Lobby.  Again this one is still hanging in my kitchen as well.

Whimsical Houses!   I must try this some more.......

A quick journal page.   Not too exciting.    The red background is a Christmas napkin.  My first attempt at using a napkin.    

I've been buying Washi tape and I really have NO IDEA what to do with it.    So I made some bookmarks.  The white strips are the dividers from a box of tea bags!!

A work in progress.    Not happy with it.   so it sits in my kitchen waiting for something?????

I've been working on my scrapbooking. I've made three albums for my grand kids. The albums are made from old record albums. Pictured is the album for my grandson Liam.

I'm back in the mood and will be posting soon

I promise I'll soon be posting some new journal pages. I just need to get them scanned in the computer. Life has been so busy with work and new grandchildren arriving. It's an exciting time and I'm enjoying it but my own time to just sit and cut and paste and create has suffered. But I'm trying.

In the meantime here's a wonderful new blog I found just today:

More Pages!

I've been so busy with work and then a cold I just haven't had time to get into my craft room. Well I did tonight! I had started these two pages a month ago and forgot about them. I finished them up tonight.

I love this image of the little girl and her mother. I guess it is her mother. They look like they are. Did they have a happy life? I hope so. The words at the bottom "Tomorrow's hits today!" is from an old 78 record sleeve. I felt something else needed to be added along the edges but I just couldn't find the right image. So I just left it finished as is.




I wanted to do something fun with this piece. I've been enjoying reading Shani's blog. She has some fun pieces here and here. So I wanted to do the same. All the images are from an old 1950's magazine. I love those!

A new piece

You are a sister worth having.
