Happy Wed Everyone!!I have been busy with a little bit of this and a little bit of that lately.I have diligently been trying to create my own banner and background for the blog.I found so many wonderful helpful sites,but the only one I was able to understand was Kevin and Amanda's.They really gave me step by step directions and for a novice like me it was truly helpful.Here is the link,if anyone wants to give it a try.
I also have some new listings on Ebay.The first is a hanging shadow box named "Journey"..Covered in what else...beeswax of course.
Plus a new melted felt ACEO.I originally had a plan to have a tutorial on my newsletter,however I seem to be having problems with newsletter lately and decided to give you all a sneak peak at the process.
Melt felt with a heat gun,Sew backing,Assemble and Glue.Easy Peasy,Lemon Squeezy!
And now its time for a Giveaway..This little beauty loves to be on stage.Created using Alpha Stamps collage sheets,vintage reprint,crepe,Dresden trim,floral findings,and chain. The base measures approx 3" x 4".
All you have to do is leave me a comment that you are interested,and spread the word around about the giveaway.I will announce the winner on Friday May 7th.
Lastly,Check out what sis made for me..my favorite line,from my favorite quote,"The Journey"(on sidebar)."One Day you finally knew what you had to do,and began." Isn't it lovely,and it offers tons of inspiration in my craft room...Thanks Sis!
I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your new blog background. Awesome job!!! I'm also totally loving your shadow box. It's a gorgeous piece. I've never worked with beeswax, but I'd love to sometime. Hope you're doing well! Hugs, Peggi
