From Old 2 New

First I would like to say, that I am so sorry for me being MIA for some time (a long time).  But I have been looking and trying to keep up with everyone.  I have had a lot of things going on just like everyone else, I have been trying to live life.

Now onto why I am here.  I did make something YAY ME. 

 

I hope that you really enjoy these.  Looks like I will be redoing my home for the summer.  Leave a comment, thank you so much for stopping by.

Have You Seen This

I have seen this some time ago, but one of my crafty friends posted it again on her page.  So I went and tried it and I like it but I will have to play more with it.  It is the Crayon Resist Technique, you can click here for a video on it.   Well here is the one's I did along with the inks I used.

 I like them both but I really do like the one on the top the best.  And yes the maker of the crayon does matter.

I hope that you will play with this and make some awesome cards.  I may do more and put them on cards.  Maybe some kind of home decor :)
As always have a bless week and an awesome time in crafting.

My Version of a Fainting Couch

A fainting couch is a backless couch that typically has one end raised, against which a person can recline. This type of couch might have been made before the 19th century, but the term "fainting-couch" wasn’t commonly used until the 19th century. Fainting couches were made for women, especially because so many women in the 1800s wore corsets. A tight corset kept a woman almost breathless, making it much more likely that she would faint. Some homes and hotels even had fainting rooms, where women could catch their breath on these couches.

Here is what the couches looked like:

Here are some ring holders I founded at Ross. There are in the shape of the 18th Century fainting-couch.

Now, here is the way I decorated one of these couches:

I hope that you like the way I altered this couch.

By the way these couch was only $3.99.  I just love altering things that I find.
So from this day to that day, have fun altering, coloring, cutting and all the things we do.  Until the next time.

My Little Red Books

I found these little red books at the Dollar Tree and said what can I do with them.

So here it is what I can do and did do to them:

                                                  

Here they are together

These was fun to do and very small, no space to add to much.  I pray that you enjoy your week and until next time.
