Welcome!

This is my place to share my creative bits and pieces. My art has no rules, no limits and absolutely no order. My projects change with my moods but for the last few years, my main focus has been paper art. Cards, collage, mixed media and as many techniques as I can get to. My inspiration comes from everywhere.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

TOO PRETTY TO MESS UP

Don't you just love the beautiful napkins available now? I spotted this lovely design and knew the napkins had to come home with me. I was at Dollarama and the package cost $1. Fantastic! You and I know these can run as high as $6.99 so not only was I jazzed about the beautiful design, it was a steal of a deal.

This card was very simple to make. Remove the plain layers from the napkin and glue the top layer only to cardstock. Thin some white glue with water and paint it onto the cardstock, lay on the napkin and brush on another coat of the glue mixture. If you have Mod Podge or similar product, that works too  :)
 Let it dry, then trim the edges to clean it all up. Done!

Warning: I have found this technique to be very addictive. Just sayin'.

Looks like sunshine out there- hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for looking and for your comments. I appreciate it very much.
