So In Love

Here is the finished wall hanging I made for my recently engaged brother and his fiancee.
And I'm happy to report that they loved it.
I used a page out of a grungeboard book for the base and inked it with tumbled glass, broken china & brushed corduroy. Then I used the negative of a Tim Holtz mask for the broken china swirl behind the photo.
The grungeboard wings were inked with wild honey, rusty hinge & vintage photo.
The Maya Road & grunge words were inked with aged mahogany, painted with rick candy distress & reinked with brushed cordury.
The metal charms were courtesy of my friend Muffy. I filled the dangly hearts with UTEE and dropped the stamped phrase into it before it fully set. (The picture for that will be in another post because my phone won't publish two photos this time.)
And it was all glued together with 3in1 glue.
Enjoy!

Do you recognize it, Muffy?

Here's a sneak peak at a project I made for my brother and his fiancée
There are no less than six pieces of jewelry on this.
Thank you for the treasure, Muffy.

Craft Heaven?

Ok.
I just found this really neat, really luxurious craft room on the internet. 
It's really more of a paradise.
I should be so lucky to have this room in my home.
Check it Out here.
Then again, with this much to choose from,
and this kind of beauty to start with,
wouldn't it be hard to get started making a mess--I mean, a project?
But, I'd love to try!

The Real Beauty

So happy!
I've had this wall of frames for awhile,
just waiting for the perfect photos.
There are a few odd sized frames in there (8.5 by 14, 11 by 17).
And then it hit me--
I've got photoshop & Costco does large prints...
why not try it out?
First I cropped my photo to the odd size.
Then I opened a new document in the print size Costco does.
Next I added the cropped photo to the new document as a new layer.
Last I made sure the cropped photo waa the size I needed before saving as a jpg and uploading to Costco.
And then the real beauty is that Costco trimmed away all of the white space for me!!!


And yes, I added spooky hats to my babies
It is Halloween you know

Fall is in my house

I've been playing around the house this week and came up with a few fall scapes I like.
Thought I'd share a few.
