Legacy Scrapbook

One project I have been creating for years is a 'Legacy' scrapbook where I took all the photos I could get hold of, arrest their decay from age by scanning into the computer and working to restore them to the best of my ability with photoshop and then printing and creating with the photos to honour them as they should be honoured as my ancestors. I bought a kit a long while ago so I have four scrapbooks to cover my father's and mother's branches of the family from my grandparents back with photos from each family. I am trying to create a legacy scrapbook I can pass on to family that come after me and hopefully pass on a love of the past. I chose a distressed type kit because it fits the age of the photos and is beautiful despite the flaws. I hope you enjoy seeing them. Have a good day :)

Crafty Ribbons/Fiskars LED canvas

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well. I am here to share a backlit canvas using my Fiskars tools in a rather unusual way. I took the canvas off from the frame and folded it in half to randomly punch across the front of the canvas. I kept the cuttings for later. I then stapled the canvas back onto the frame. Next I stapled muslin fabric across the front of the canvas. I then added Clermont Cotton Lace across the bottom of the canvas as a border. I then got out my flexmarkers and coloured the punched canvas pieces in three complimentary colours. I then asked tiny gems to the centre of each and glued them randomly like flowers across the muslin fabric.

Thank you for visiting and for all your lovely comments!

Alkaline Trio lyrics mixed media canvas

I am here to show you a canvas I created using printable cotton, cotton batting, plastic vintage style frame, acrylic paints, die cut foam, metal embellishments, glitters, texture pastes and nail caviar. The lyric fabric I created in a craft program then printed onto cotton, and placed in the frame after I had stuffed the frame with cotton batting.
