Just for Fun

Trying my hand at a mixed media card with some things I had lying around the craft room.  I love that about mixed media.  No rhyme or reason so I'm not sure I have the hang of this yet. LOL

A Shabby Canvas for Sis

Hello again!  So okay, I'm still working on why I can't do what I want to the new blog.  Do the books for Dummies have one for new bloggers?  If so I need to purchase it, not sure it will make a difference but I surely need some kind of help!  I'm not able to get my comments to work and I know that soon enough I will be looking back and laughing at all this...but for now let's just get to the next project. 

Here is a canvas I put together for one of my many sisters.  I used items I have collected over the years and things I knew would be cherished by the receiver.  This sister and I share the same love for shabby goodness, so it was a little hard to give this up.  I wanted to keep it for myself and I know that she can relate.  X's and O's sis.

 Those are two faces only a mother could love!  Thx for stopping by.

Welcome

Welcome and thanks for stopping by.  I am new to the blogging world and certainly on a learning curve so I'm asking you ahead of time to forgive me until I can get this right and get a proper camera (these photos are taken from my phone {sorry}).  Not only am I learning the ins and outs of blogging and posting, I have to learn the ins and outs of photography.

This site is short of anything fancy or technical, just simple and hopefully sweet.  My time is limited so I'll have to post when I can. My hope is to have something new to share with you every other week if not weekly.  As much as I love to encourage and praise folks, I'm not one for accepting it very well. Don't get me wrong I love to be encouraged and would love to hear from you if there are some of you out there that are inspired and like my work.  I'm just not to keen on posting it for all to see. Which is something else I need to learn about.

I have a Brenda Walton French Bow Die and I was hoping I could make adjustments  to recreate a bow card I found on YouTube.  That card required the purchase of a digital PDF &/or cut file.  Brenda Walton's die is on the bow and tails.

My hubby made me a template for the base and I went to work and making my own version of the bow card. This is my first attempt.  A little rough but not too shabby (pun intended).

This is the Brenda Walton French Bow  Die

This is the finished product.  Hope you like it.

Thx for stopping by!
