"Gift From Above"

This repurposed card "front" just needed a little trimming to add to a new piece of folded card stock and it's ready for a special occasion.

Remnants & "Safe People "

Pink and Green remnants from a friends current project
are like treasure waiting to become small art.  Oh the possibilities.

And she was going to throw them away - lol.

Safe People - Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend is an excellent book that I'm currently reading.

"This Is The Day" is another repurposed card "front"  with a new ribbon added.  Acutally this card "front" is one I created awhile ago made it's way back to me to pass along again.

With 4 fun pockets inside including one that zips closed it is a wonderful size.

 Another fabric Easter Bunny Egg to play with and a painted wooden egg  reminding that "He is Risen" Matthew 28:9 as decoration for each grand daughter 

to add to their collection.

Congratulations

This hand made card will go out in today's mail.  Doesn't quite look like my handiwork?  It's not.  Someone dear received it along with several others which, after they enjoyed the cards, sent the "fronts" along to me and I am more than happy to repurpose these beautiful creations.   More to come.

Altered Altoid Tins

Don't forget to comment on the 800th Post Give Away!

Often, I'm given empty used Altoid tins to create Agape for Chrysalis Weekend  however this one came from being a volunteer at our local hospital!  Woohoo - another art canvas.

Since the sticker wouldn't release, I covered it with some of Carol R.'s marbled paper which is more colorful in person.  Next Isaiah 49:16 was stamped onto the paper and

also over the sponged painting over the also stubborn sticker on the inside. 

Price tags for my Quilted Art are inserted and a  label on side of tin is added.

Other tins I've repurposed for myself at other times include the yellow one which I just covered the sticker with flower stickers.  The blue batik fabric covered one is a portable sewing kit which the green cat batik fabric covered one with painted side accents (you can tell I use them) hold cabone rings.

Simple, useful purposing  yet fun art.

Happy Birthday Kelsey!

A purple Fabric Art  Post Card should be delivered today

in the mail to a fellow purple liking friend.
