Mixed media is something new to me. I’ve mostly been into scrapbooking for the past 20 or so years, so collage isn’t something I’ve done a lot of. Even when I was a kid, I did paper mache once, which reminds me of what I do now, with layering of paper and objects, molding a…
Dreaming with Gears
My creative process isn’t always planned-out in advance. Sometimes I have a photo in mind that I was to highlight in a project, which in many cases, I don’t know what that project will be. Could be a decorated canvas, a tin box, a wood object or…well, let’s just say I have a LOT of…
The Clown and the Ballerina
Playing around with a Tonic Studio die frame which I ended up embossing with some old silver embossing powder. Before I stamped and embossed, I used a stencil on the paper to give the pattern that is on there. I printed out a vintage photo on my ink jet and hand colored it a bit…
Vintage Tin Dolly
I have a sweet spot for dolls. Ever since I could remember, I had some sort of doll, whether it was a troll doll, Sweet April doll that cried real tears, Barbie and even now, my Asian Ball Jointed Dolls (ABJD). I’m really not sure why I dig them, but I definitely do. Years ago,…

Altering a modern album into an Old Book
I bought a photo album for under $3 and so I decided to customize this for a present to a friend. Because I am in a Historical Club, I wanted to make this album look on the outside like an old book. I used fun foam for the accent pieces for the hinges and heater….
Postcard: Renaissance Inspired Postcard
Like many others, I have a problem. I’m a craft hoarder. Craft supplies are my downfall, my joy and the reason why my bank account has a lot less money there. Because of this, it’s my goal to try to use up my craft stash as much as possible, before I buy new stuff. This…
