Scrapped Clip Board

I loved making this clipboard with
scrapped leftovers for fun!

It looks great and is so practical to
have in my craft room!

Book Marks

I pulled these out of my craft box
the other day. With the new Kindle
I am not ready as many "real" books,
but I do love book marks!

This one was made for Thanksgiving!







These were composed by
pieces of things I won at a
crop...great for making notes
on for upcoming projects!

More Scrap Room containers...

Bright and Cheery is what I love to see
in my environment...don't get me wrong I love antiques and grunge and altered art in almost any form, but cheery has it's place in
my surroundings too!

I actually did a class with this box a few years ago....again a wood box painted...some pretty bright paper, silk flowers, brads, buttons and it turned into a great place for me to keep the little chalk inks I use regularly handy.

Scrap Room Accessories....

My craft room is an every evolving thing for me...

I have been organizing forever it seems...

I have been creating things with lovely color to be

practical and look happy and cheerful in their usage as well....I painted and covered a little balsa wood

container added some embellishments and filled it with my paint brushes....looks cute and is certainly practical!

Altered Items...Alcohol Inks....

I love alcohol Inks! I was first introduced to them watching a demonstration by my now friend Ellen. I had heard of Ellen and her talent and creativity for a long time before I met her and before I ever go to see her demonstrate anything! She used to work at AC Moore locally, which is where I saw her demo alcohol inks for the first time. Her
demos are like taking a class! Amazing! I ran to the shelves and picked up the items necessary, inks, blending solution, glossy paper etc etc....went home and immediately started creating things with great sucess all due to her inspiring demo!

Now several years later and lots of alcohol ink later, I am still in love with the process and the techniques~ This switch plate lives in my newly re-painted office....it was white once upon a time and aged to a old beige color...you know the color you have seen it before...my walls in my office are now a pristine white white! So in the theme of economy and recycling...and because I don't like "aged" white on my new white walls, I took the switchplate home and alcoholed it in a polished stone including the screws and got a this wonderful out come....I am in love with it!

In keeping with my theme.....I took my "old clock" off the wall and alcohol inked it as well! I love it! Makes me and my walls very very happy!

Thanks Ellen!
