Playing with Alcohol Inks - Another Art Journaling experiment

So I recently bought a slew of Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads, and decided to play with them. This is what I made:

Cool huh?

A little hostess gift for an Aussie friend

A few posts back I shared a chocolate box that I had altered for a swap - well the hostess of that swap is in Australia and due to the distance, she was unable to participate.  So I thought I would send her a small chocolate box that I altered as a hostess gift.

Don't you just love the butterfly - and a very similar frame idea. 

I made a video where I went into a little more detail as to what I did - you can watch it here:

Want to save money - make your own flowers to match!

So money has been tight this summer - and I've resolved to make my own flowers.  When I can buy a roll of white ribbon for $1, and make five flowers - of any color that I'd like when I can dye them with my Lindy's, its way better than paying $4 and $5 for one or two flowers.  So I've watched a couple of videos on youTube and decided to give it a try - here are my results:

 For these rolled roses - I followed this video by worker4ever123 and her mother.

For these grunge paper roses I followed this video by stampyra.

Bored one night - so a little art journaling on tags

So one night, I was feeling creative - but didn't really have a project in mind.  My boyfriend had brought home a four pack of Odells Brewery Double Pilsner with this amazing owl on it.  So I cut up the box, and made this lovely tag:

I even painted the glass myself!  I was so happy with it when I finished it.  It was my first step into a larger universe - of art journaling!!  I thought I'd share in the hope that it would inspire you to start art journaling too. 

Altered Picture Frame

About two months ago - one of my friends lost her horse unexpectedly and I wanted to send her something to keep a picture of him in as a memento.  So I made this using one of the plain wooden frames from Hobby Lobby:

I either hand dyed or painted all of the flowers to match one another.  I hand rolled a rose out of satin ribbon.

 I was told after the fact that her family kept items in specific colors for specific horses, and the frame that I had made for her was in the colors that were meant for her horse - so that made it extra special.

Thanks for stopping by!

Aloha Surfer Girl!

My last Greeting Farm haul included Surfer Anya - which I loved to death when I saw it!!  And I just had to knock out a card using it for my friend in Hawaii when I sent her a little gift.

I used the Tahiti Mat Stack from DCWV - and colored her to match the paper.
