Ornamentally still – set three

It’s A Charmed Life, Final Installment
Yes, these beauties are the final installment in my “it’s a charmed life” posts. I am in a swap and these little cuties had a hoop attached so they can be put on a charm bracelet and mailed off.

It’s A Charmed Life, Part 2

I have bought some cards in recent years but for the most part I make my cards so… Continue reading Christmas Cards
November Background Technique
The November background technique for The Latest Trends in Mixed Media is to make backgrounds using colors from magazines. Several years ago, I gave up subscribing to magazines.
