Wicked

I have been on a mission. I wanted to use up all of my Halloween supplies, especially since they are over a year old. It was fun . . . well, the first three or four, but I'm getting towards the end. Ok, maybe not the end of my supplies, but definitely the end of making Halloween cards!

I have a stack of them already in their envelopes, sealed & ready to be sent, but I still have many more to give AND make.

Do you send out Halloween cards? I usually don't. My mission is making me do it :)

You Deserve A Gold Heart

For this creation, I recycled organza ribbon from a gift, giving it new life and another purpose.

The gold hearts are brads, but I removed their spokes because I don't like having them show on the inside of the card.

Have your recycled something recently? What was it?

Tuesday Alchemy Challenge #19: Lime, Orange & Plum

Since it's summertime, we decided to do a color scheme that is perfectly suited for the season at Tuesday Alchemy. Lime, orange & plum are bright & juicy, so it was a lot of fun to come up with this creation.

What colors do you like to use for summer? I'd love for you to share your favorites with me :)

This creation started out as a plain wood frame. I painted, distressed, glittered & sealed it for a funky & vibrant piece that will brighten up any room.

I made the wood heart match this chalkboard & added a handcrafted chalkboard clothes pins to it. This way you can display a photo as well as write a note!
