Cameo tray with lace underlay.

Adhered the lace to bottom of tray then added cameo images and "cameo" centre with a gimp and bead surround. On the top of the tray I placed a vintage hat pin. Placed glass over it to conceal the different textured layers and sealed edges with silicone, then used beads to conceal the glue. Gave this away as a wedding gift. PS: I apologize for the reflection in the glass of me taking the picture - don't have that mastered yet! Thanks for looking.

My Dream - music cover pedestal.

Used the cover of a vintage music book to cover this pedestal top. This would look lovely on or near the piano. Thanks for viewing!

Some more mini envelopes from upcycled papers.

Used various papers for these mini envelopes. A great way to upcycle old papers and some of my art papers which I created using coffee in a spray bottle over a plastic lace tablecloth.

Martini glass with some pizzaz!

Used vintage papers on the outside of this glass. Painted the bottom with black acrylic paint then gave it a coat of liquid floor wax. Can be filled with paper clips if using in the home office or candy or if you sew, a great place to store pins and needles. Digital background texture courtesy of Kim Klassen.

Mini box holder for mini cards.

Made these mini boxes out of cardstock. Embossed the gold swirlies on to give it some glitter. I tuck in about 5 mini cards and voila it makes a nice quick little gift.
The background is from dried leaves that I made into a stamp to use in Photoshop.

Mini card series 4 upcycling pansy pictures.

Found these pansy images in a magazine which I ripped out and glued onto a mini card using cardstock. Inserted only the front into a embossing folder to give it some texture. Used sandpaper to go over the texture to lighten areas. Background leaves gathered from my garden and scanned to my pc. Processed with Photoshop as a "stamp".

Botanical grass journal.

Picked the grass while on a walk one day. When I got home I dried them between some pages in a phone book which flattened them. Sometimes when working at my studio table I often toss paper scraps into a box. This day I reached for those scraps and found these words. I think they call that serendipity! This journal has many layers. Finished it off with fun fibres on the coil spine. Bound with my Zutter machine.

Crazy quilt heart with vintage hankies and beaded chiffon edging.

Made this heart with vintage handkerchiefs etc. Printed out the word "Friend" onto chiffon and used it as an overlay. Used chiffon to conceal edges of foam core by adding a bead every inch or so finish it off. CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE MORE OF THE DETAILS. Thanks for stopping by.

Spheres using vintage papers.

Started with a Styrofoam ball and covered with vintage papers. I will share at a later date how I display them.
