Altered canvas

Good afternoon my friends,
I hope you are all doing well. Can you believe this is already the end of February,where is this year going? I finally attempted my first altered canvas. The canvas itself looks white,but it is actually pink,blue and green by using Tim Holtz distress inks on them with direct contact method. I then pleated some ribbon from Webster Pages along the bottom using hot glue. The frame around the word SMILE was in my stash. The flowers,corner piece and jewels are from Recolections collection. The clip is Tim Holtz as well as the stamped saying. I'm having a hard time getting the clip to stick to the canvas, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated! I hope to alter a few more to hang in my craft room. I could also include a picture is I want to take off quote. I hope you like it. I treasure all your comments. Enjoy your weekend.
Krps.the colors are much brighter in person, this looks really washed out.=(

Christmas Tree craft

Hello my friends,
My computer is fixed!! Every year my family draws names from a hat for Christmas and we go to Goodwill and buy a gift for each other. When we wrap it we leave the price tag on, just for fun. This tradition started several years ago figuring it is a good time to help other through Goodwill. We this year, we got crazy! We decided to make a theme tree and buy the stuff from Goodwill. My son decided to make a "game/toy" tree and that we did. We went to Goodwill and bought tons of games to make ornaments from and some jump ropes for garland,we had a blast! This was the ultimate in recycling! More phots to follow, since my computer wont let me put anymore.

I'm still here...

I hope everyone had a great holiday season. We have had a bit of a rough start this year,but I'm getting back into things again. I quit my job of 7 years in December, so that is a big adjustment for me. Our dog of 12 years had to be put down jan 2nd due to her hips and now my computer isn't working, so I can't post my pictures on my blog. I have a great creative Christmas tree to show you soon. Hopefully,my computer will be fixed soon. Have a great evening!

Jeanines B-day blog hop

Hello my friends,
My friend asked me to join her B-day Blog Hop and I was honored. I made a table decoration for a B-day party. The paper was Colorblok "so sweet" page kit. I used Something To Celebrate Cricut cartridge for most of the images, except the pinwheel was a die from MFT. I used Stickles to add some sparkle to the cupcake and the "smile" token. The hat and the pinwheel are 3D, so it has some nice dimension.The tin can was from the dollar spot at Target and the presents are Jolee's. The trim is from my supply and the flower on the top of the hat are from Michales. Happy Birthday my friend!! Below you will see the list of blogs to hop to. Have a great day!
