winter photos

Winter, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but not everyone likes you. You're too cold. You make me dress in many unflattering layers. You're not as much fun as Spring, or Summer. But, you do make for some interesting photos...I went out with a friend of mine about 2 weeks ago down to Chin lake. This one of the bridge is one of my most favorite that I've ever taken.And I love this one of wheat/weeds.

And I think this one of the barbed wire on a fence post is pretty cool too.

But this doesn't mean I like you winter... It's hard to take photos when you have mittens on. ;)

February's kit

So I owe you an apology for the colours in my pictures. I realize they aren't the greatest, but the lighting in my kitchen sucks in the evening, and I didn't get time to take more before handing over my sample to Kari. So do you like it? It's February, what better time to document all of your favorite things?The roses on the cover are what I show you, step by step, how to make. They're made with cheesecloth, and if I can make them, they're practically idiot proof. :) Really, they're simple, and add a great touch to future scrappy projects.

There is lots of room to add extra photos or journalling because of all the fold out sides. The colours are fabulous pinks, browns, and reds. Everything you need to make this little book is included in the kit... buttons, beads, everything. I had so much fun coming up with this project, and I hope you enjoy it too. Any questions or help you may need, don't hesitate to ask us. :)

So that's it for me tonight... twice in one day, I'm sure you're tired of me by now, LOL! Have a good night, we'll be chatting again soon!

Happy first day of February!

Your challenge for the first week of February, should you chose to accept it, is to use an old dictionary page (or thesaurus, or any other page from a regular book) and alter it in some way.
Here, I used paint to stamp on it and inked the edges, but you could also use rub-ons or stamp with ink. I also sewed down the edges of it, slapped on some masking tape, and called it good.

Now, I don't worry too much about archival quality... the way I see it, NOTHING made with paper will last forever. But if it is a concern for you, there are a few things you can do. Don't use an original, one -of-a- kind, you have no other copy, if your mother found out you used it she'd beat you, photo. You can also matt your photo onto cardstock (or other acid free paper) to slow the acid migration process. Or you can buy patterned paper that has the look of a dictionary. Totally up to you.

Here's a closer photo so you can see better what I did.. So enjoy your week... I'll be back soon to show you February's kit! :)
