Hurricane Fay

As I am sure you are all aware we are expecting a Hurricane in the next couple days I will be busy preparing my home for that event. When times allows and the storm passes I will be back sharing my ideas with you.

Gift Card Purse Pin

My friend Joy was so kind and got me some expired gift cards. I made a small template of a dome shape. I cut 2 cards and glued them together, punched 2 holes in the top ran a wire and wrapped it and shaped it adding beads then secured it by wrapping the other end. This serves as the purse handle. I then cut out a heart shape and glued it to the purse and embellished it all with old broken jewelry. Glued a pin on the back and that was it.

Zuni Earrings Handmade

I actually found the facings for these off a hanging ornament for the wall. I brought them home with no idea what to do with them. A couple days ago I pulled them out and realized they would fit over a silver concho so I glued them on added a clip on, then added blue seed beads all over the outside and I think they are kinda nice earrings. Measuring at almost 2".

These are for sale $8.00

Remember When Framed Art

I made this with many different items. The heart in the center is rick rack sewed into a yo yo embellished in the center with a tiny pearl from a broken necklace.
The clock, Eiffel Tower, Arc De Triumph, luggage tag, and passport are all chipboard..
The pictures are royalty free images I found on the Internet, the frames I used my sizzix for them.
The Key and other items are from broken Jewelry I found.
I put some scrap grosgrain ribbon down on the right hand side and added 2 rick rack yo yo's on each side.
The watch I took from a broken watch my daughter gave me, I put a round finding around it to add some depth it fit perfect.
The purse and eyeglasses I found at a dollar store.
The frame I bought at a Church Sale.
I put many hours into this but I do like the results.

Jockey Earrings

I made these some time ago took a pair of old damaged disc earrings and wrapped black elastic around them until the earring was totally covered. I found these little charms in the bottom of a bag of supplies I had so I glued them on to the earrings. The little charms are a Horse and a Jockey Hat with the Horse Whip resting under the cap.

Friendship Note Book

Used Scrapbook paper added some images I found from some stationary.

Scrapbook Purses 4 X 3

I made these using some scrap pieces of scrapbook paper I used rick rack for handles and on some I used the same for embellishing. I also embellished with character eyelets and one I used a small rose on the front. I will more than likely paste these to cards

Postage Stamp Holder

I made these for gifts and I hope the people I made them for do not see them... I took a large medicine bottle and covered it with some scrap pieces of paper I had left over from other projects, I ran some braided rick rack around the edge of the bottle. On top of the bottle I made small flower yo yo's once again using rick rack, put small buttons in the center of one,bead accents in the other two and glued them to the top. I put a smaller bottle inside to hold the stamps up to the level where I cut the hole for the stamp to run thru.

Journal

Just a whimsical thing I did. Basically covered the journal with scrapbook paper put the little girl on the zebra in the center. Framed it out with braided rick rack, added a embellishment in the top left hand corner.
