Yesterday my friend B came with her little doggy Emily, We had a great day crafting - well, Emily watched - and got really messy with lots of mod-podge and paper and gesso. It's fun working in company, and even more fun with some nice food in between sessions....
I got 2 picture frames and a mirror altered. One of the frames is for a swap I am doing, so I can't show it yet, (Donna, I have to keep you curious!) but this is the other one. I made a little collage to go in it, and kept the theme more or less musical. I am entering this into Try it on Tuesday's altered frame challenge as second entry, if that is allowed. The challenge there is sponsored by *The Craft Barn*
The altered mirror is for a friend whose birthday is on Wednesday, so I'm not showing that today, either.
But I did make 2 cards for the *Less is mMore* - touch of red challenge. The red background to the card with the lady is not part of the card, I just placed it on a red chair!
Well, my weekend was great with so much crafty time, good company and good food, and I hope your weekend was just as good. I know that Jan got a new granddaughter, so here's wishing her and her family, and especially the new earth citizen all the best.
Thanks, too, to all the people who take the time to stop by here, and leave such encouraging comments. Have a great day you all!
Hi Val, thanks for the little parcel, LOVE the contents, I have mailed you! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteYour mirrors are fabulous! Such a lovely gift. The 'dottie' background is very versatile isn't it. I have a folder for my cuttlebug, however, the dots are small .. this one is quite dramatic. The tree die is also interesting .. I've been waiting to see it used - and of course if I need a 'heads up' on anything I can usually find it in your crafty kitchen. You and your friend had a lovely day .. always uplifting to 'play well with others." ha ha hugs from Mexico, Donna
ReplyDeleteLovely altered projects Valerie - seems we both had a good Sunday crafting.
