A little something for my Aunt ...

I got crafty today and made some gifts for my Aunt

for her b'day. A altered coaster with a magnet on back,

2 altered clothes pins with magnets on back and a

altered mini notebook to match. :)

Thanks to Tamara for the little mini

notebooks. :)

Today -- 04-26-09

This layout was done for a challenge at LIITD.

By the Numbers challenge ...

using up a bunch of number stickers.

I had a lot of fun making this one. :)

I am quite happy with how it turned out.

Mix It Up blog - Mixer #16

This was a design challenge - use rubons in a

original fashion on your layout.

Everything on my layout is rubons. :)

For my Mom

My Mom requested a birthday card with a black flower

and a owl. LOL She was looking at one of my layouts and

saw the flower and owl and loved it. She said the she

really wanted a b'day card with them on it.

So this is what I made her. :)

This altered circle frame was done for a challenge at

LIITD and also for my Mom for her b'day.

It's hard to see but there are 2 beads at the end of

the antenna on the big butterfly which I attached to wire.

There are stickles on the big butterfly too and the

fairy. The two smaller butterflies are covered

with dazzling diamonds.

Grid Locked Challenge

I had a really hard time trying to get a good

picture of this layout ... not sure why but it still looks dark even though I took

the picture this morning .... lets say about 20 pictures and still

couldn't get a good one. grrrrr.

For this challenge you had to use a "grid" technique

to create a layout. This was a great way for me

to use up rub ons and little embellies.
