Altered Canvas

Hi everyone wanted to share the Altered Canvas I did for my daughter. It has a sprayed Glimmer Mist Background. I used my Silhouette machine to die cut all of the text, butterflys & flowers. The butterflys and flowers are inked with Tim Holtz Distress Inks. I love this message as we should be inspired by the beautiful things in life.

Special mini book

Hi,  I want to call you attention to the mini book on the first page. It is the one that has the big M on the cover.  Carol made this book for me.  The story:  On April 8th my dog Mimi, died, she had bladder cancer.  I had her since she was a puppy.  She was a Christmas gift from my husband.  I was going through empty nest symdrom, my youngest son had left for college in the fall. The house seemed so quiet when I got home from work, there were no more "Hi, Moms" to welcome me home. The house had always been so lively.The puppy was the magic answer. Mimi filled my life again. For the next 12 years she was my shadow. Carol knew how broken hearted I was when I lost her.  The book she made will always be a treasure for me. Besides the beautiful workmanship, the sentiments are so personal. She put a lot love into making the book,, like she does with everything she makes. Check it out it is really unique.  Bye for now, JoAnn
