Greek Paper Challenge

October's Heavenly Bits Art Challenge features a mixed media collage kit from Pink Dreamer, (Greece). Totally consumed by ephemera: Greek dictionary; encyclopedia; and magazine papers she sent me, I dove right in.

Greek words, not a clue what it says.....a little mystery, and lettering that is quite beautiful.

 

Seriously, how gorgeous would this be tussie mussie filled with goodies?

 

A little unexpected is the red lettering, and the pale yellow crepe paper.

 

 A Big "Thank You" to Pink Dreamer for sending us a fun package of art supplies for our October creations.Visit the link below (or her cute artwork) to visit her etsy shop.

  Please visit Pink Dreamer for Mixed Media Art and Supplies 

 

 

The Heavenly Bits (art supplies) also included a few items from me. The items I made are easy peasy, Do It Yourself 101, but still would be cute for a child's birthday party. Just buy a couple of paper punches at the craft store, and you're set!

Fall Design Team

As part of Lollipops Design Team, I received a wonderful supply kit from Icing on the Cake Studio.

This banner:

was created from this kit:

The kit contained vintage wallpaper, copies of ephemera, paper roses, sheet music, a glittered heart, and pink dotted fabric. 

Hanging out with jars of supplies, the banner looks cotton candy sweet. It would also look great on a window, or wall.   

If you're are interested in purchasing, contact me and I'll give you the details. I will also be giving away an item of my choosing for anyone who is nice enough to leave a comment, (and has taken the time to read this far!).

Harvest Blessings,

Ele

O Christmas Tree

A Christmas Tree Wish...

in a shadow box sparkles with neutral colored ephemera. 

Ephemera (plural): paper items (posters, tickets), that were originally meant to be discarded after use but have since become collectibles. 

Shades of soothing cream, beige, and black along with the velvety texture of vintage wallpaper sit behind a glass frame. Can be hung on the wall, or free standing on a table.

 

"O Christmas Tree,  O Christmas Tree....."

A few new items are finding their way into my shop.

I am also adding a few supplies, such as paper posies, so that you can use them on your own creations. Currently Lollishops shopping cart is not working, so if you want anything from my store, just e-mail me.

Blessings,

Ele

It's About Time

Great packaging, wonderful ephemera, numbers, and cream colored buttons and lace came in my swap package from jessicarodarte.blogspot.com. Here are some of the items:

Oh, what a wonderful time I will have making items with these treasures!

(I just couldn't resist!)

Paper Love

"She likes me, she really likes me".

It's nice to be liked. If you visit Crafty Homemaker, there are links to other great blogs and a blog giveaway. You can also vote for me, if you like me.

Paper-

Just can't get enough for my creations .....I know, I know, the trees are begging me to stop the love affair. Someone will get hurt. Honestly though, I'm doing my part. The paper that I love the most is "green", ephemera. You know, the vintage papers that I'm finding other uses for instead of throwing them away, (I'm shuddering as I realized I ACTUALLY wrote the word THROW.......It's my grandmothers fault, really. She NEVER EVER EVER EVER THREW things away, and to me this means, vintage paper). I swear my grandmothers closet had a secret door/secret room for all the items she put into her closet. She was forever pulling out "things" that she had saved when we needed supplies for art projects, Valentine boxes, etc. That is a whole different story, so let me get back to my "green" paper supplies.

Point in case:

Vintage Ledger Paper-

I love the look. The hand written numbers are from another time, but the

use of these papers, timeless. I have stamped "timeless" on the vintage ledger paper used on this journal. The ledger paper is also mixed with vintage wallpaper, another love.

Vintage Wallpaper-

It comes in any shade and pattern imaginable. I have used vintage wallpaper on the note cards in the box above, on the photo album and keepsake box below. Vintage flocked wallpaper is used on the box above. Go here to see more pics of vintage flocked wallpaper!

Present wrapping has begun at Pink Heaven. I decided to go with simple elegance; plain brown paper stamped with a black fleur design. The best part of this project is that any age can create wrapping paper. Santa's helper and I tied on vintage flocked wallpaper tags and sage green bows.Hope everyone is having a great week!
