Believe (Mixed Media Project)

My project "Believe" created for the August Challenge over at the Mixed Media Place blog.

Maybe it's the fact that I feel like summer is never going to end where I live, but the second and third photo on the top row of the Mixed Media Place mood board, at first glance, looked like ice on the foliage. I'm not exactly a person who likes being cold, and I live in a southern state, but I've had it with summer this year! It's the middle of September and we are still hitting the mid-90s! Which, according to the weather last night, is a full ten degrees above average! Too, too much I tell ya!

Beside the thought of ice, I really loved the colors in general on the mood board! It's filled with most of my favorites! But once I had blue + white + ICE!! on my mind, I had to go with it! Below the mood board you will find a process video, some more photos, and a full product list.

Letters for Linny! (ReneaBouquets "Initial" Swap)

Linny's Initials - for the ReneaBouquets Initial Swap hosted by Donna (bonprof) over at scrapbook.com!

At the start of the swap, when we exchanged addresses, Linny told me her craft room was mauve, burgundy, pink, green, and cream, so I tried to make it so her letters would match her already established decor! (She told me they would go well in her craft room, so mission accomplished!)

Below you'll find the process video, some close up photos, and the full product list!

Sea Soul

My altered frame for the August Lindy's Gang Color Challenge!

This month for the Lindy's Gang Color Challenge I put together this picture frame specifically to hold a picture of my mom when she was around two years old, standing waist deep in the ocean! (But I blurred her out because her swimsuit didn't fit quite "perfect," and in today's time...*shrug*)

The following Lindy's products can be found on this project (full product list after photos):

"Hawaiian Islands" Flat Magicals
*I used "Plumeria Pink" & "South Shore Sand" on my project*

"Time Travel Teal" Magical Shaker

Altered Embroidery Hoop

An altered embroidery hoop I created for Linda B. for the August ReneaBoquets Swap! Since Linda and I agreed on an "anything goes" theme, I used the Creative Embellishments August mood board challenge as inspiration. Specifically the Silver & Purple ombré hair. I had planned on trying a green & purple idea, as you'll see at the beginning of the video, but that didn't work out very well, so I assumed it was because the ombré hair was haunting my thoughts!
