January Altered Art Projects — Video

Happy Tuesday! I hope every one had a very nice weekend and is enjoying some time with family and friends.

Chad took this picture on Friday

Altered Bird cage for Barb

My youngest son, Chad

The altered Cigar box from the video

I am so glad you are able to come and watch the video and read my blog post today!

I am enjoying some quiet time with Chad who is off from school today and tomorrow. I am hoping to be able to have lunch with my precious husband, Michael tomorrow and having Chad join us is just a treat!

Speaking of food, I’m hungry! I know thanks for sharing . . . Onto Craft related things.

The bird cage was origionally orange. I sanded it down and painted it with a blue craft paint. I even painted the light wires and cord to match. The bid is the bird with vine, cut away from the bottom and side pieces and re-layered on a fabric covered base and some paper shreds. It is embellished with some stick pins and flowers from Recollections. It is very pretty lit up and offers a small “night” light. My best friend, Barb loved the piece and it is now at home with her.

Chad is a very handsome young man and I really appreciate him taking his time to film my video’s. So, I thought I would take a few moments and tell him “thanks man” and post his handsome picture!

A couple of corrections Things are “painted” not “ink or inked”, I’m sure you’ll pick up a couple more obvious errors in communication. I had a bit of a headache when I filed this one, and unfortunately it shows.

Have a great Tuesday, stamp happy and be a blessing!

The sheer joy of a properlly running computer & Pictures of altered projects!

Hello everyone!

As I sit and type today’s blog post, I am ever reminded of how utterly dependent I personally am on my electronic devises.

I love my Kindle, Ipod, Droid and Sony Vaio, my Terabyte backup drive and even my space heater. How I would go crazy waiting for paint to dry if I didn’t have a heat gun, I’d be blind if it where not for modern glasses, lightening and even the ability to change the size of the font.

I can quickly find information I want (and some I don’t) by just a few “key” words and a searh, I can learn about everything from biology to the latest craft phase.

After more than a week living with very limited abilities to use my computer, I am humbled and even thankful that I live in an age of technology.

Ok, after all that stuff, I’d like to tell you about the pictures at the top of today’s post,

The first three pictures are of the altered coasters (from Stamponthis.com). The calendar was purchased from vippies.com and I just love how this one came together. It is for my Sr. Angel, Ms.Vivian.

The Thankyou card is for a swap hosted by a friend and I used stick pins in the cards as decorations. I am really loving making the stick pins, they are so fun and are coming out well.

I hope you all hae a great weekend, stamp happy and be a blessing.

Hugs,

Loretta R.

Happy Anniversary

Hello My crafty Friends! Just an update to let you all know I should be able to resume a normal blog schedule next week. My laptop computer monitor went all pixels on me about a week ago, I was able to use my youngest son’s computer that was like 8 years old, then it died. I’ve heard it said that bad news and bad things travel in threes. It looks like my life is no exception. After speaking with a dear family friend, we know that our family will soon grieve a loss of a dear Father and Husband. My Digital Delights video/tutorial for Saturday has been graciously covered for me considering these unusual circumstances, and I am grateful for that. Other designer news, My post and tutorial for Suqigglefly will be shot and posted sometime in the next few days. Please hang in there with me as I iron out the quirks of a new computer while having the old one fixed and transitioned to the teen kid. Have a great night, Happy 10th Anniversary to Mike and Loretta Rodger! Hugs,

Loretta (proud to be Mrs. Rodger)
