Victorian Christmas Week Continues

Hi Everyone~

First and foremost, I want to say that I have been completely blown away by your angel stories that keep coming into my email.

I just completed this blog button and header for the very talented June of Junibears Jottings. I created them spotlighting a piece of her digital art with the cat....If you would like to go and say "hi" to June, I know that she'd LOVE to hear from you. Her work is breathtaking.

If any of you are in need of blog headers or buttons, just contact me through my email. Now, onto my latest project!!

I purchased a house-shaped chipboard book at Michael's Arts and Crafts...Then, I added scrapbook papers to each side of the pages...

And, of course, lots of lace and embellishments were added. This book happens to be for my granddaughter, Dara.

If you would like to make one, they are super-fun, although time-intensive.

I used graphics from Dezinaworld and you can purchase all of these graphics on one sheet--yay!! You can use them for numerous Christmas projects, so how neat is that?

And here's the best part--Dara's birthday is on Christmas, so this is a birthday book!

Thank you so much for visiting and if you would like to enter my giveaway, just scoot on down 2 posts and sign up!!!

Love,

Cindy

Scrap for Help November Challenge

Hi Everyone~

My awesome friend Roselle of Seaside Rose Creations was in need of an avatar for her amazing Etsy store....and she wanted a new Etsy banner too...

Well, I love her vintage finds, as well as her own creations, so this banner was fun to make. I adore that dress form so I knew it had to be used for her avatar! If you would like to visit Roselle, just click the name of her blog. I know she'd love to hear from you.

Marie of Dollys Daydreams wanted a whole new look to her blog--and oh, this was wonderful opportunity for me to find some of her beautiful pieces and showcase them....This encaustic work is so gorgeous. I just knew that the lady's hand was perfect for her blog button.

But, trying to narrow my choices down to 3 pieces was the hard part! But, I thought it would be precious to include one of Marie's handmade flowers to offset the hand holding the rose. If you would like to see more of Marie's work, just click the name of her blog and it will take you there directly.

It is now time for Scrap for Help's November challenge...I serve on their design team, so I created this Christmas collage using a vintage book and several kinds of lace. The image is from Dezinaworld.

In every project for Scrap for Help, we recycle or re-use something--so, I got a vintage book to use for this piece. If you would like to join in the fun, you have a whole month to make something. The winner gets a prize! To take a look at the amazing work of the design team, just go here.

My Victorian Christmas Week starts this Wednesday--I can hardly wait!!

Sending hugs to you all,

Cindy
