Hi, everyone,
I mentioned in an earlier post about Marion Smith's fundraiser for Reece's Rainbow, a Christian charity that helps people adopt special needs children. I have my four tiles finished and ready to send off to Marion, so I thought I would share them with you here first. What do you think???
Hugs!

Birthday projects for a friend
Hi, everyone!
Thought I would share some pics of a couple of projects and a card that I just finished for a friend's birthday. It was a challenge to photograph the captured fairy. Shooting a picture of a glass jar and getting a good picture of the contents proved very challenging. I did the best I could. The captured fairy and the card are also my projects for the March challenge over at http://www.sugarsweetpapertreats.blogspot.com/. The romance card on the captured fairy says: "This precious fairy was captured on a chilly spring morning, deep in the lush, green forest above Avila Bay, where she filled her days collecting bits of sea glass from the local beach. She is a shy little nymph, who prefers to keep her face turned away from the outside world. She has remained silent, therefore, I have been unable to determine her name. Perhaps you will be able to find it out." The bottom of the jar is embellished with moss and bits of sea glass. The lid is covered with muslin fabric, which was stencilled using a paper doily and Vintage Photo distress ink. The same fairy stamp was used on the lid and on the romance card. The third item is a wall decor piece., created from items from Crafty Secrets. Thanks for dropping by my blog today and if you like my projects, please feel free to leave a comment!
Blessings and hugs!

Marion Smith's Fund Raiser for Reece's Rainbow
Hello, my crafty friends!!
I was so moved by this fund raiser that I just had to share the concept with all of you! Marion Smith (http://www.apieceofcraft.com/ and also of Prima) is hosting a fund-raiser for Reece's Rainbow, a Christian charity that assists with adoptions of orphans with special needs. It's so easy to participate. Take a 4"X4" piece of chipboard, embellish and grunge it up and send it to Marion. All the 4" X 4" pieces will be made into collages and auctioned off. If we each do a little, together we can do alot!! Marion explains the entire concept in this video. I hope you will find it in your heart to check out the video and consider participating. And even if you can't participate, will you kindly help us spread the word? Thanks so much!!

Here's what I've been working on. Short video
Hi, everyone!
This is what I've been working on today. It's a mini for a sick friend to encourage her. Hope you like it!

I forgot to mention in the video that I used the BellaBella stack for the papers and used Pearl, Iridescent Gold and Old Lace Glimmer Mist on all the pages. The wired bling I cut from a garland that M's had on clearance. I kept this mini very simple because I wanted the focus to be on the scriptures themselves and not the embellishments.
Short video!
Hi, everyone and thanks for stopping by my blog today! I have a short video for you today of a project I just finished. I will post it as soon as it is finished uploading.
