I love magnets, so I wanted to alter something that I could use more of them. I altered a "pizza" pan, with Studio gesso as a primer, then used distress inks and paint daubers . Heat embossed the key hole, and added the metal key from K&Company. The magnets are bottle caps from Design Originals that I flattened with my Cuttlebug. I copied the photos and punched out the faces and place them in the center of the bottle caps with Glossy accents on the top. The photos are of my great grandparents wedding and the other is of my grandfather and me. Altered and vintage, I just love it all!

My homework is done! This is a photo of my newest niece, Kentlynn Cori Krista. This page was made with pink coordinations, whith vellum over the large photo. Flowers are coordinations whitewash and cut out with spellbinders dies, the button centers are the "homework" part of this layout. They are from Reminisce. The "toes" photo is cut out with spellbinders lables dies. Words cut out with the Cricut machine.

My attempt at a little altered art pin. I cut the butterfly ( Spellbinders) from grungeboard( Tim Holtz). Painted with aged mahogany Distress crackle paint, let dry. Then embossed with Cuttlebug textile emboss folder, sanded the raised image and inked it with aged mahogany Distress ink. Punched a hole just bottom of the center add a large game spinner (TH) with a brad. From the backside hang a swivel clasp (TH) , with a philosophy tag, off of the brad this one says altered. Secure a pin back to the backside, bend up the wings a little and its done. I may add some Glitz to it later. Love that Tim Holtz!

Sassy doing what she loves, going for a ride!

Dusti at some sort of a gathering where we had green frosting.

This is my uncle Mark on a freezing holiday at the

lake.Snowflake is made with su tag punches , lettering

done with the Cricut. I used blue alcohol inks and

stamped snowflakes with white stazon ink.

I got some of my layouts back that have been displayed in the store for a while. So now I can post them here. This is a pheasant that liked to hang around our house.

Grungboard braclets Dusti and I made using grungboard, cuttlebug embossing, ranger paint daubers and distress inks, held with Tim Holtz hitch posts. The green one has Coffee Shop Tattered Angels spray as well.
