A "She" just for me...

After making a few of these little beauties for some of my friends, I was finally able to create a "she" for me!!!  It only took about 8 months!!  lol

I was at the Scrapbox on Saturday for a crop and got creative with my crafty friends.  Jenn decided to have a challenge for "altered" art or mixed media folk too instead of only papercrafting so it was a real good time!

 If you know me, you know I LOVE a challenge.  The altered/mixed media challenge was to use 11/22 items on the list on your art including the manditory use of a paperclip.  There were such things on the challenge as crackle paint, tissue paper, rub-on, book print, Distress Stain, stencil, stamped image, image of a bird, vintage like button, fabric and ribbon...I could go on but I don't know if I could actually re-name all the items.   But seeing as I was working on a canvas intended for me, I thought I should stay true to "me" and use ALL 22 of the items! And I did!  And turned out great!

Thanks Jenn for such an awesome challenge!  We had a great day!  I think about 6 of the 13 ladies were doing mixed media art journaling, canvas or altered art...a real sign of the current interests and trends.

Here is my gal....I think she is pretty cute!










These are my vintage looking button and burlap fabric challenge items.

Thanks for looking!
