Baby it's COLD outside!

Chicago is in a deep freeze, with the wind chill factor it's about 40 below, so I'm inside keeping warm, here is a cricut project that I created,  a luminaire, I used a cd holder, vellum and Art Dec cricut cartridge. The lady was cut at 51/2inches I used a 1/2inch strip around the top, all items were glued inside using stick glue, once finished a flame less candle is placed in the inside. I love recyclable crafts, how about you, what's have you created from something recycled?

Get ready, get set, go!

This will be a year of new beginnings, of allowing my creativity to soar to complete visions that I have procrastinated on, get ready get set, go !

Recycled craft-desk organizer

Good evening, I've been creating my new crafting room I will be posting before and after pictures, this is one of the projects I completed using a corn meal box, a tall and short pringle can and a large toilet paper roll, glue on a wood plaque. I measured designer paper to fit each box and paper roll, then I painted the wood plaque with acrylic paint and embellished it with strips of designer paper.

I'm back!
