Valentine Door Decor


I love how this project turned out. I decorated an 11x14 canvas for Valentines day. I used card stock and doilies. I cut out a few things on the Cricut and embossed the bird with gold embossing powder. I had 1 piece of fancy paper I used up. Then I dolled it up with some jewels and glitter glue (Stickles) I think it will look nice on the door don't you.

Valentine Cards





Remember the images I posted last? Here are the cards I made with them. I hope they inspire you to make some of your own. There are a few others that I made with Martha Stewart punches and the Cricut.
The little pink and red cards with the puppy, flower and butterfly are from Walmart. They sell a set of 8 cards and envelopes for $.97. It's a great deal.

Bragging a Bit





I just had to take a minute to brag about some of the work the seniors I teach arts and crafts to. These are some of the ceramics they have painted in the last few weeks. I love the ladies so much. Each one has their own special talents gifts.

I Love Architecture


These are photos I took when we went to Mackinaw Island a few years ago. I was looking though my photo library and ran across them. I love architecture. Details on a building make it stand apart from one to the next. Other than my own photo collection of different buildings, trims, accents, do dads and gingerbread on buildings I think I'm going to start adding other photos I find to my collection. I just like looking at it. It gives me a homey feeling. I just might add a few more photos here in the next few days - just because.

I Can't Resist


Ha Ha Ha!!! Brian (my husband) cracked me up the other day. He knows that every spare minute I have I spend it "pinning" things on Pinterest. Pinterest, if you don't know is a virtual pin-board website. I love it. It's such a great way to keep track of all the ideas and websites you find on the internet.
Anyway, Brian asked me if I pin things on Pinterest does it make me a "pinhead" - I couldn't help but crack up. He is so funny sometimes. So in honor is his "pun" with my 'fun" I created a sign to pin on Pintereset. I hope everyone who sees it thinks it's as funny as I did.
Oh, if your interested in checking out Pinterest go to Pintereset.com. They will ask you to create an account and then send you an invitation to join in the fun. But, be careful it can be habit forming.

Random




Today I decided to post a few of my HUNDREDS if images. I love to collect images off the internet. I don't always know how I'm going to use them but if they catch my eye, I keep them.
I chose two of my owl images just because people love owls right now. The fashion lady is simply because I love the colors and design of art work. And last but not least - it's almost football season. I live 20 miles from "BIG HOUSE" and LOVE U of M Football. September 3rd is the first game of the season. I can't wait - if you need me, i'll be in front of the television.
