Altered Frame....Great Grandma & Grandma

It all started with a simple frame. Pasted pieces from and old book and Gesso!

I enjoyed working with Gina's Laser Cuts for this project....again...they just complete the whole look!

There's so many Laser cuts used for this project, I hate that I can only show a few close ups!
 I had this frame all Gesso and ready for something over a year ago, but didn't have a clue where to go after that!  With all the Estate sales I have been visiting this week.....I just had to bring it back out and do something with my Grandma's in mind.

Gina's Doodled Cages is perfect for this, my Grandma loved birds.

 One can never have too many of her Wooden Decorative Keys!

                       

I adore Gina's Dress Forms!

I also used Gina's 6 inch Deco Frames & Hanging Sign Shape Set # 2

Thanks again for stopping by! Have a Blessed Day!

C-R-E-A-T-E-!

 Here's Gina's lovely C-R-E-A-T-E Dovetail Banner that I have been working on.

I added Gina's Doily Intricates to give the letters some pop.

 Her Butterfly Of Gears. Just adds a creative feel to the banner's theme.

Here I added one of Gina's String Alongs this one is" Sewing", and of course I couldn't finish without one of Gina's wonderful Flourishes Miniatures!

Thank you again for stopping by!

Pawprints On My Heart

 Hello everyone. Today I want to show off another fun and truly simple project from Gina's Designs.

The Photo Reel brings me back to when I was a little girl, and my first love of picture taking began.

These are now coming back into the art world, and I have to admit I still have mine in my parents attic somewhere packed away. That will be a treasure hunt adventure to find!

I chose to work with the Page Frame Photo Reel. I wanted to make a wall hanging to display my love of black cats. The Photo Reel comes in three other sizes, standard, small and miniature.

"Pawprints on my heart", you can find in Gina's Words & Phrases.

Not much to complete this project....gotta love simple!

I just cover the Photo Reel with a thin layer of White Acrylic paint, and then inked the edges and the Pawprint phrase with Archival Ink's Jet Black.

I then sprinkled with black glitter.

Love the simple way I can display all my Black Kitty photos.

Victorian Key - "She"

Hello Everyone! 

 Today I have this Beautiful Victorian Wall Art Heart Key to show you new from Gina's Designs.

I just love the Victorian Era! I used different pieces that I've collected over the years, to complete this project, and the flower embellishments where given to me as a gift. I love how different little things makes up a whole finished look.

Here you can see Gina's Flourishes. These work so well for layouts and tags, and they helped add a vintage touch to this project.

I also had to add a letter "V" from a old Scrabble Board Game...another Vintage Salvage.. Yard Sale find. It's funny how these are now so sought after. 

"She" is beautiful.

Garden Fairies and Vintage Sparkle Glitter!

   Spring...oh please stay awhile! Today I would like to share a Garden Fairies Bird House. It got me in the mood to be out in my own garden, if the weather would just be nice!

Timi, one of the Co-Owners at For Keeps Sakes had asked me to make a sample for the store. I was asked to show off some GLITTER!  It is a new product we sell called Vintage Sparkle Glitter, and the first thing that came to my mind was the Garden Fairies from Gina's Designs!

I mean what a better combination? Fairies and Glitter!

I was also able to easily use these beautiful butterflies from Craftsupplies1

Gina's Designs really made the project! Her Garden Fairies are a must to have for any garden mystical project you may under take.

Here on top of my magical fairy bird house, I added Dragon Flies  from Gina's Designs, and I love the Vintage Sparkle all over the Dragon Fly.

Here's the back of the Fairy Bird House. I just love how the Garden Fairies Wings from Gina's Designs, just sparkle with glitter! You can also see the Flourish used to decorate the back of the house.

Thank you for stopping by. I loved working on this project, because it made me ready to go out and tackle my own garden for spring planting!

Art Journal: The Lost Art Of Love Letters

Hello Again!
Today I'm sharing a Mixed Media Art Journal page that I recently worked on. I'm excited to show how Gina's Chipboard Shapes truly made the page jump out!

I am just getting back into painting. I have always been hard on myself at how the over all look comes out when completed, but I am finding a new enriched enjoyment to this type of art, and now I can hardly put down the brush...,brayer, sponge... stencil....whatever I can get my hands on to create a unique look, that's shouts ME!

I used this Lock and Key from Gina's Valentine Shape Set.   Just applied some Gesso to the over all surface and inked with Vintage Photo Distressed Ink.

Here's a Flourish from her Feathery Flourish Shape Set, and the hearts are again used from the
Valentine Shape Set

Again, I just Gesso everything, then applied the desired inks and paints to get my desired look

Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoyed viewing this project as much as it was a joy to create it.
