One for the wedding...

My sister got married in early February...
This is a 7gypsies tray I made for the display table...using mostly Graphic 45 Le' Romantique papers...






Thanks for looking...hope you enjoyed that.
Have a good week ahead.
Scrap to your heart's desires!

Where old meets new and new meets old.

Making meaningful art and deco with old and unused things... This is one of the things I enjoy...




... I enjoy decoupage work. Above is a metal gift box which I painted and decoupage with Tim Holt's patterned paper... It now holds some of my makeup on my dressing table.

And here's a piece from a broken frame... I painted it brown and lightly highlighted the edges with gesso to create a worn out look and added the tag for a little personality.



Hope you enjoyed that...
Create art, and Scrap to your Heart's desires!

MOLD ALERT

Dear friends...

kindly read this one...cause I don't want it to happen to you...
I have been sick for more than a month now... been having bad migraines that sometimes last for days even with medication... pain in jaw and face...been in such discomfort... been suffering in silence.

I have not been scrapbooking for some time now, because of Sinusitis. I am very sure now that its a reaction to the mold found on my scrapbook items and supplies...




Seriously in this part of the country, where its all humid...I wonder if any of you out there have experienced this... I Do. I have never seen anyone complain about having mold issues on their scrapbooks, art deco and all their supplies so far... so pls share... I found this article so far and it has helped... a MUST READ.

It has been quite a challenging task to get rid of the mold. I didn't see this coming cause I really enjoy cleaning, and sanitizing my room, washing all the upholstery...weekly... but I forgot about the huge bulk of paper and wooden products in my room. I usually clean them by vacuuming areas where I can if dust collect...
Maybe it was the recent rainy season in December and last month that started the mold.

And so, its been a pain. But I will survive.
Just staying away from scrapbooking abit until Im better.

But for all YOU out there...
Scrap to your Heart's desires...
