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.

Here is my Valentine for you-
 
 
The heart can angle this way......
 
or this way. Why?
 
 
It's a  magnet! I took apart a cookie tin from the Thrift Store and using old scissors, cut out a rough heart shape. Attached a magnet to the back of the heart and we have a connection.
 
 
I used a dental tool to scratch up the side of the tin that I was applying the Dimensional Glaze to. This is to give it 'tooth', something for the glue to really hang onto. Better than a slick surface.
 
 
The heart was also clear embossed for protection and added strength.
 
 
Thank you for stopping by today. Please go see what Terre has to show you and don't forget to take part in the Queen of Hearts Challenge. I think you'll be so glad you did!
 
 
Stamps:
Hand in Hand Life's Journey Begins
Love Lives Here
 
Stencil:

    I love that the person has a magnet to keep along with the card! Some friends "recycle" my cards, passing them on to others. This idea allows them to keep something but still give a beautiful keepsake! Thanks for sharing.

    A neat clean card with such a pretty heart to embellish it. The way you colored and embossed the heart sets it off nicely. Of course, your magnetic trick is quite unique too. I love the sentiments and the beautiful, fancy lettering of the stamp. A job well done, Holly.

    I am beyond amazed at your creativity. I was stumped when you said the heart could be moved, but I was thinking something simple like a brad to allow it to rotate. What a wonderful use of the sentiments, as well.
