Tiny Recycling

Welcome!

I've made my first twinchie!

Here it is:

 

Over at Crafting by Designs Julia posted this lovely Mixed Media challenge. The challenge is to make some twinchies. I used an image from A Day for Daisies :  Petals in a Teacup that I won some time ago. I printed all four of the teacup images to a size of about 1". I coloured the image with my pencils and cut it out. 

My twinchie is made from a recycled box that is covered with some script paper. I cut a frame from the same box for my picture. This is not much mixing of media, but I'll definitely do this again.

For the Love of Shoes!

Welcome!

I love shoes! High heels are my favorite. There is just something about putting on a pair of heels, it elevates the body and the mood. It makes one feel fabulous and ready to conquer the world!

I have a pair of red heels that I wore in a play for a few minutes. They are a size to small because we couldn't get any when we were looking for red ones. They are killer shoes, in more ways than one! Five minutes on and the aches in my toes start, 15 minutes and I don't feel my toes. Will I ever get rid of them, no, never. I might not wear them again, but I love them!

So in honour of my pair of Red Suede Shoes, I present to you the Vintage Shoe by Robert Jackson, this time in Patent Leather:

The theme at Jackson's Digital Expressions is Anything Goes with Brads/Eyelets and here is a close-up of the eyelets I added.

And here you can see the Patent Leather I created with the Glossy Accents:

I hope you like my CAS red card and will join us in the challenge.

I'm entering my card in Challenge#19 at ATC's and Cards with Attitude where the theme is Anything Goes.

Back to showing my metal...

I decided to make a card using the fabulous Heavy Metal Solitaire, Nuts and Bolts Mini Background and Metal Phrase Collection.

My piece of recycled metal is from the foil lid of a coffee tin. I used it to mat the mystery phrase. My re-purposed metal is the staples that I used to make a little pattern on the silver panel. The 3 metal washers is re-invented as embellishments on my card!

The splash of red lipstick on the face of Solitaire adds to the mystery of this mainly black and white card. This is my favourite colour combo.

Well, here she is:  

Remember, you have a whole month to play along with us! Go and scratch  in that toolbox and create something with some added metal...
