Winter Spreads

Another spread completed!! I received 3 books from across the pond last week, and I've completed one spread for one book out of the three so far. I only did one spread because I used 5 & 1/2 pages of the book!
These are for the Seasons RR I'm in. I don't want to bog down the next lady, so I'll send her a book every week or so and that will get the group going again. Can't wait to finish this round and get my book back!! I miss it...sniff...sniff...

I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON I WON!!!!

This is about 7x9 and in my living room!! IT's not a card, it's on 2 peices of mat board.

Vintage Spreads

Sniff...sniff... these are the last two spreads for one of my Round Robins. I'm sad that it's over, but it was great. We had some awesome themes, I think the "In a Galaxy far far away" was one of my favs...I really had to go find stuff for that one! Oh and the beatles book!

This spread was done with me aging the papers with walnut inks and embossing powders. I used handmade paper and the chick is on a transparency held by those cool paperclips. The right side is all cut out. About 15 pages worth, and the middle thing is a pin that i found in a thrift store, I covered it with those micro beads for texture, and added fringe to complete the page.

When you turn the middle thingy over, you get the travel part of the vintage travels page. I used tons of misc stuff, stickers, mirrors, papers, aged the book part of the paper, and embossing powders for texture.

Okay, this is spread is a little bead happy!! I called it "memories of old" There just tons of old stuff on it. Old pic of people dancing, which I aged myself, old stuff on the Cd, The backgroud is this thick ribbon i found, which i heat set and it got all holey and aged looking, and the beads are just for fun!!

What have I done....

Ton's of techniques in whatever theme you choose. I chose fairytale.. It's going to be so much fun!!

Life is better today :O)

Okay, I feel much better today. Eyes are okay, I'm back to working on my swaps. I've even done a couple today that I think are pretty good!! Check 'em out:

This is a spread I did for a Beatles book. I picked my favorite song, Blackbird, and did an abstract painting.



Here's the tag I made for the book, I added fibers after I scanned it:

And here is a Dance Cd I made for an altered cd swap. It didn't scan very well, I almost don't want to mail this one!! This cd is the one making up for a cd I didn't really mean to send out. I hope she likes it!!


Will add more stuff later!!!
