Craft my life

I created a 'snow globe' type poster for a friend. I created a poster and embossed with black butterflies. I then wanted to add something extra special so I created the globe effect by adding nail caviar in pretty colours (various purples, black and silver) and then sealed the unit so they wouldn't escape from the frame. I then used texture paste on the frame and painted with black and acrylic then sealed with mod podge.

I wanted to create something special for Derek from Alkaline trio so I decided to make him a back lit canvas themed around his solo work. I sewed LED lights into the back of the canvas, then made a design and pierced the card stock to make 'stars' around the trees to really show the light behind. Then I made a 'frame' with embossed metallic card stock which I sanded and added embellishments to. A little while later Derek featured it on his instagram which was a huge honour.

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 :)

Hey everyone, hope you are well. I am here with a gift I made for my friend Nicola. Its a wooden chest with padded lyric printed fabric top. I started with the fabric. I used printable cotton, made a design with various trio lyrics and embellishments and printed it. I then found a plastic vintage frame and glued it onto the top.
I made a raised pattern around the frame with texture pastes and added wooden embellishments in each corner. I then painted it all with black, then varnished and sealed with hard coat mod podge.
Then I got out some cotton batting you use in quilts and padded inside the frame. Lastly I placed the fabric inside.
Thank you for visiting, hope you have a good day! :)

Hey everyone, hope you are well! I'm here to show you some of the gifts I created at Christmas. I used Cricut adhesive foil in silver. I found some plain slate place mats and coasters. I designed then cut matching but scaled to fit monogram patterns and transferred them onto the slate. Lastly I coated the surface with mod podge to seal.
