some info about my last post

Hello! It's me again :) I wanted to post the project idea sources from my last post. You didn't think I came up with those wonderful ideas on my own did ya? I wish lol. Fortunately we live in the age of computers, internet and people willing to share their creations! Let's hear it for computers!! (I distinctly heard crickets there). uh-hem, moving on. Here is the framed accordian folded papers I saw at Wendy Sue Anderson's blog, Just me....and my little world. I love, love, love her style and use of color :). A couple posts ago I create a sign for my bathroom that said, Relax. I found the project on Carole Janson's blog, 3 Dimensional Me. For the record, I want to recreate just about everything on Carole's blog. Take a look at her stuff and you will see why. She's awesomely talented!
Sadly I cannot find the link to the blogger that created this :



If anyone has seen this online or knows who created it, could you leave me a link in the comments section. I feel terrible for not knowing. Is anyone inspired to create something today? I sure hope so! If you do create something today, leave me a link! I wanna see what you do :)
Have a fantastic day!!

A thunderstorm is coming.....

......so I have to make this fast. I tend to shut down my computer during bad weather, and bad weather is almost upon us. So I will post the pics now and share the deets later.

This is just a simple, cheap 8x10 photo frame that I adhered paper to the glass and decorated with accordian folded flowers and buttons. I then added some Dew Drops and Rhinestone Bling.


A closer view of the "Flowers"



This is a shadowbox I bought at the dollar store (I bought 2)


This is how I redecorated it.

Yet another view. Links to the original projects I found online to come soon, I promise!! I just have to wait for the thunderstorm to blow over.

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you are having better weather :)

I made a wall hanging!

I made it for my bathroom. I have some other project ideas for said bathroom as well. I will get to those soon too I hope. I loooooooooove how this one turned out. I used papers from "Doodling Around" stack by ummmm DCWV(???). I love that stack :). I have to go make dinner for my fam. I hope to see you soon!! Thanks for stopping by. Love to my peeps!!

Check this out!

I love going to art blogs and looking at incredible art. There are some highly talented people out there. I have some favorites that I check out daily. Thank you internet for making inspiration only a click away. Today I went to Abz Hakim's blog and was blown away by the images I saw there. He has such talent! He puts so much emotion into his characters. This one in particular: Gabriella
I also love, love, love the art by Bob Canada. He always throws something I don't expect into his artwork. His characters are wonderful.
If you are in the mood to check out some art blogs, here are a few more of my favorites:

I created stuff!!

This first item was created by making several little boxes and then sticking them together. Then I decorated each box and popped the whole thing in a shadowbox frame. I saw this idea online at scrappystickyinkymess's blog and thought it was so cute, I had to have one of my own. Here's a link to the tutorial: Wall Art and here is her finished project (I love her's!!!). I put it in a frame because it hangs in my kitchen and I know it would get gunky if I it wasn't protected by a layer of glass lol.



This next one, I cut chipboard to 3"x5" (the M a little wider), and taped them together accordian style. I embellished it with paper, ribbon, flowers, stickles, brads and ink. I pop dotted each letter to give them a little dimension. I love how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs to my peeps :)
