Birthday Greetings card for him.

Used one of my own backgrounds then added bird from Dover. This would make a good card for "him". Please visit my Rustic Pixel Backgrounds for the background:

Oh my, this was fun. For some of the embellishments I also used my background paper I'm sharing with you on my Rustic Pixel Backgrounds blog. CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE MORE DETAILS.

Handmade guest books.

To make these I started out with illustration board drawing freehand the vine around the ruled trellis. I then cut to size and attached a image printed on tissue then left edges ruffled looking. Printed off sheets for guests to sign then bound with my Zutter Binder. Finished off with ribbon on front and fibers on the coils. The background and a variation are on my Rustic Pixel Backgrounds Blog.

Gilded frame with tissue covered matboard.

Painted the raw wood frame with gold paint after embellishing it with a stenciled textured design. For the matboard I covered it with tissue paper that I crumbled in my hand then attached it with glue. Cut the opening and put in a victorian image that I ripped from a magazine. Would look nice with a personal family image too. I had fun doing this along with many more which I will share at a later date. Thanks for reading!
