Mixed Media Birthday

Image
Hello Everyone! That's right, I said mixed media! Well I guess this is about as mixed as my media gets nowadays. A little paint, some ink, some matt gel and lots of microbeads and seed beads. The papers are from Prima's Salvage District. I love the neutral grey tones, I can add any colour flower to it I want and it always matches! The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the wood embellishments are from Scrapiniec , the sentiment is from Pion Design, all the pearls are from The Ducks Doodahs and everything else is from my stash. *** It has been just like spring here this past week. Absolutely gorgeous! Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to get outside and enjoy it, so another round of winter photos will have to do for today.

Thinking of You

Hello Everyone! I think this Lemoncraft collection has become one of my favourites for creating something bright and cheery! These papers are from the Daydream collection sent to me by my very talented and sweet friend Lisa of A Mermaid's Crafts . The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the frame is from a Martha Stewart mold which I filled with hot glue and painted white. The sentiment banner is from DCWV and everything else is from my stash. *** Nothing new to report here. Snow, rain, ice. Snow, sun, slush... repeat. ~ Male Downy Woodpecker ~ ~ Blue Jay ~ I have a newcomer to the Johnson buffet. He's very cautious of me, but yet very curious about what I'm doing. He has a great tail and not a single scar on him, which is so rare! His face is tiny and cute as a button so I've named him Mr Buttons !! "OMG, it's so far to the top! I did not think this through!" ~ Missy ~ "I realize this tiny cashew fits perfectly in my mouth, but if you've got anyth...
