Moon Children ATCs

A new set of moony ATCs to show off today.

I prepared the backgrounds a while ago with vintage papers, paint and bit of sanding and scuffing. While waiting for glue to dry I just grabbed them and set to work creating stacks with left over Idea-ology - Ephemera Pack Snippets from yesterday's Tabbed Book, an Idea-ology - Paper Doll and a length of string.

Tabbed Book with Tim Holtz Goodies

A bunch of Tim Holtz goodies recently landed in my lap and I spent some time experimenting and playing, making this wee book in the process.

I've used a three page 3 x 4 Tabbed Book as a jumping off point, and bulked it out by adding pieces from Idea-ology Layers Remnants.

Some of the pages have been backed with vintage music pages, and others with Idea-ology - Worn Wallpaper

Inside is jam packed with layers of all sorts of butterflies, botanicals and paper dolls.

Here are all of the specific products I jammed together for this wee book:

3 x 4 Tabbed Book

Idea-ology - Layers- Remnants
Idea-ology - Worn Wallpaper
Idea-ology - Paper Dolls
Idea-ology - Ephemera Pack Snippets
Idea-ology - Botanical Layers
Idea-ology - Keys Adornments Findings

Cosmos House Shrine

I'm falling fast in love with Stamperia papers and AlphaStamps placed one of their newest pads to into my greedy little hands.

"Cosmos" is packed with gorgeous blues, purples, night skies, moons, birds, owls, and wolves.... swoon!

I used the pad to decorate a House Shrine Box Kit. The result is like a wild magical night in the forest.

Flat-back gold stars dot the edges and the top elements of a Layered Round Chipboard Frame and Layered Victoria Scroll Border creep like vines around the opening. 

The supply list for this project is a short one as the pad really does most of the work with it's great mix of background papers and focal images. Here are all the bits:

Cosmos 12x12 Paper Pad
House Shrine Box Kit
Flat-Back Gold Star Studs - 12mm
Flat-Back Gold Star Studs - 8mm
Layered Victoria Scroll Border
Layered Round Chipboard Frame
Waterfall Stickles 

Or just pop HERE for everything in one place.

Happy making lovely crafty people.

Free Photo Friday

Once a week I share an old timey photo from my personal collection. Feel free to use them in your mess making, art and crafting.

The images are not polished and left in their grungy, smudged and speckled glory. Just how I like 'em! Without further ado... 

Do NOT sell, give, or distribute the images as your own, digitally or printed, alone or as part of a collection, collage sheet or group. BUT DO absolutely make stuff with them and sell the stuff you make. If you share your project, a link is appreciated.

Violators will be turned into toads, given warts, all the bad stuff... I mean it... It won't be pretty.
