Making Stuff – Gift Boxes

I can’t throw things away, so I cover them in paper. Here are two little gift boxes I made this weekend from scraps of a big painting I am working on.

Trash into Treasure – Collage Bag, Tag and a Box

Here is a collection of springy items that can be used for future gift giving. I loved the tag that came from one of my shirts so I turned it into a gift tag. The bag, used to have a logo on it and I covered that up with bits of paper from my “paper making days.” The box, comes from a SmartWool sock gift set, pretty cool. The box was so great on its own, it was just begging to be re-used.

Collage Gift Tags

I made these just for fun, and sent them to a friend so she could use them on gifts she was giving for Valentine’s day.

From Boring to Butterflies – Card Re-do

 

I had this card ready to go and I couldn’t release it because I thought the imagery needed something. Well, a few months later, and I figured out what it was. I really owe it to my daughter, who got out the sticky butterflies.

Scrappy Valentines

Thought I would get a jump on things, plus I was bored with a lot of red papers floating around….

In Progress: Background

I can’t decide if I am going to put flowers on this or just enhance it the way it is.

In Progress: Stamps, Ink, Paper Glue

I am working on a large piece right now. And, I’ve tried some new things with rubber stamps, matching inks and drawing.
