Altered Clipboard

Hi Everyone~

Well, there was quite a celebration at my house today as I just found out that I was published in Altered Arts Magazine's Summer Issue!

Paris Clipboard

As seen in Altered Arts Magazine
at: www.alteredarts.com

Graphics from The Graphics Fairy.


Matchbox Purse

As seen in Altered Arts Magazine at www.alteredarts.com

(This was made from a large matchbox.)





This frame collection just went into my Etsy shop today!


This collection can fit in with many decor styles.


Here is one of my Etsy pieces--an altered book bundle.
I'm so thrilled that it was chosen for an Etsy treasury!

I am on the design team for Scrap for Help. The July challenge is to make something about friendship, so when I found the image with the 2 ballerinas from the Graphics Fairy, I couldn't wait to use them for this theme. If you would like to enter the challenge, just go to Scrap for Help--it's really fun!


As many of you know, my husband just returned from a buying trip. When he was gone, among other things, he purchased these vintage door handles. I just popped them into my Etsy shop!


And this is my personal assistant Jamie--He was having so much fun posing for me! lol He is so LOVABLE, which is my word for Alphabet Thursday.

I am on the design team at Dezinaworld and the owner June just did a feature on my work. I hope you'll take a peek over there--I was so moved when I read it, that I couldn't believe my eyes. Thank you, June!!!

Have a wonderful week!!!
XO
Cindy

Wow Cindy! I AM impressed but NOT surprised! Your work is phenomenal and your love of what you are doing just shines through every piece. You are talented...so talented. I LOVE that little matchbox purse! Is it really made out of a matchbox? Or does that just refer to the size of it? xo Diana

Dorthe said...

Cindy-congratulations, dear- ofcourse your beautiful art should be published-you so deserves it.
