Angels

The picture isn't the best, but here's the angels that Zachary and I made for his and Nathan's teachers. I got the instructions from Crafters Digital Art Center. I couldn't find at Hobby Lobby the exact materials so I had to improvise (1" ornaments, and black or hot pink were my only choices so I chose the black ones). I also didn't have gold pipe cleaners so I used some glitter glue to make color coordinated halos (green angel has green halo, etc.) These angles were given as gifts to my sons' teachers. I intended to make some for the teachers I work with but was too sick (it only took an evening to make them but that tells you how ill I was). I want to try again someday and keep some for me.

One three strand necklace, three bracelets, two earring sets

More beading

I made this card for a Congrats on the Baptism/Happy Birthday party-in-one. Luckily, I took a photo of it in the car before I gave it to her or else you wouldn't get to see and I wouldn't get to remember it later. I used more of the photo paper with alcohol ink (I so enjoy playing with them) and got a new design. I ran the big piece thru the cuttlebug using a quickcutz embossing folder then used a fiskar's decorative corner rounder. I inked the raised parts a tiny part with green. The sentiment is a Angel Company stamp and the Owl is by Sew Many Cards. The ribbon, also with an owl, is from JoAnns.

Here's a quick little card I made to today's Create-A-Card sketch. All the papers were made using the alcohol inks. I have a child's birthday party to go to this weekend, and if I don't get a child-like card made, I'll just have to use this one.

Here's another Create-A-Card sketch card. I did use a fancy edge cutter for the sentiment rectangle but otherwise it looks like the sketch. I used my alcohol inks to make my 'papers'. I used Stylized Flowers embossing folder for the background, inked with Dusk Blue to help it show up better and to tie in with my edge color. I also used a teal blue glitter glue for the dots.

Look at the fun I've been having....

I've bought several kits from Walmart and Michaels (Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's don't have kits although the bracelets in the third photo came from JoAnn's dollar bin). I have some more kits to make when I get more time.
My time came from not having internet access much this month. Now I'm catching up on all the emails that have accumulated.
