Heart Collage

February has arrived, and tis the season for hearts.   

My latest collage includes layers of paper. Vintage wallpaper layered with music paper, lace, and pattern pieces.    

      

 

The sheen on this piece is really pretty and doesn't show up well on the pictures. I also like the way lace turns out when brushed with modge podge. It adds a whole new texture to a piece.

Don't forget to start making your Valentine list. It's only a week away. My family is already buzzing with ideas for gifts, or cards. Remember it's a great time to make someone feel special, and the perfect time to spread a little of God's love. 

Blessings,

Music Paper Wreath

I seriously love music paper; notes dancing, neutral colors and gold undertones of vintage paper, the rich history of the music, and in some cases the words of the songs. All are visually pleasing.   

I shared a music paper Christmas wreath with you here: http://abitofpinkheaven.blogspot.com/2011/12/happy-new-year.html

Here is another wreath, made in the same technique as the Christmas wreath, but this one can be used year round. It has a paper medallion center that is embellished with bits from a vintage bingo card, and old ledger paper. Vintage ephemera     .......................Love, Love, Love!

We have had a lovely fall and start of winter, but the cold weather has hit, (Tweleve below this morning!). It is definately a crafting day, and my fashionable attire includes jammie pants, ugg slippers, a sweater, and a fuzzy blanket. I am not walking over to my church studio as I am a big baby and don't want to go outside! Thankfully, I have an emergency tote with supplies in my home. 

Our dog is doing much better and it looks like she will  not have to have surgery, yeah!

Blessings,
