Another finished UFO! I started this crochet basket last year some time, then put it aside for a while. Finally hauled it out and completed it! Yes, I goofed a bit and one side bulges out where it shouldn’t; I decided not to rip and fix, too much work. It could be a hat, too! EnJoy!

Today I was planning to get a 3-hour spa treatment to celebrate my birthday and Valentine’s Day. However, my therapist called in sick so I created this instead.
Years ago I covered this old red planner cover (last photo) with pretty paper, which has since gotten faded and torn. The vinyl has torn, too, so I used the old cover as a template to make a new one from a hanging file folder. I covered it with gorgeous “Couture” papers from Graphic 45 and am thrilled with how it turned out! The velvet ribbon on the spine of the prior cover actually worked perfectly with this new paper, too. I also created moveable mini folder that I can clip onto any calendar page. The folder has pockets insdie that can hold such things as a ticket to an upcoming event or in this case, a check for my doctor appointment next week. I love love love how this came out! Did I mention that I love this? EnJoy!
Happy December! I have finally been able to open my boutique again; visit here for last-minute holiday gifts! Note that the custom print gifts (such as mugs and wall hangings) are temporarily unavailable.
Here are a few of my most recent creations to spark your gift list. These are actually not listed in the boutique, so send a message if you wish to purchase any of them. EnJoy!
I was inspired by Natasa of Treasure Books to make this Packing Paper Journal, using various calendar pages, fabric, and more to decorate the pages. I find it interesting that I was able to be OK with wrinkled paper and crooked placement of some of the decorative elements,, given that I generally prefer my pages to be smooth and straight and perfectly aligned! EnJoy!
Here are some recent pieces I’ve made using recycled paper bags of different sizes. The one with Ganesha on the front and the floral one were inspired by Natasa of Treasure Books.
The tiny pocket journal and the Pink Crinkle Journal were my responses to two different weekly challenges posed by Pam of the Paper Outpost. Thank you ladies!
I love using up things that might otherwise be thrown away, and reducing (slightly) the piles on my art table and other places. EnJoy!
I made this lovely little Surprise Box for a cusomer order, using Graphic 45 “Flight of Fancy” papers. So pretty! I had a friend stand behind me to take the video with her cell phone, hence the narrow frame. I wish I’d thought to pull the table closer to me to hide my lap! The lighting isn’t ideal, either, oh, well. Enjoy!
Last Autumn I created this beautiful “Firebird” ballerina using pressed leaves, velvet fabric and paper on a canvas background. Today I am offering print copies on canvas to share her and brighten your home. Go here to place your order; shipping is free on this item! Be sure to round up another dollar; the extra dollars will be donated to support Rising Worldwide. You can also shop on my Rising store here. Thanks for your order!

I made this little journal from two envelopes glued together, inspired by a tutorial by Natasha of treasure books. I started out using three envelopes, however I accidentally tore one away as I was creating, so I ended up with just two. Each envelope makes a pocket for holding pretty cards that I made, and the pages are made with tea dyed paper. This was a fun little project and I hope you enjoy it!
