More weekend work...

On friday I received this month's Jenni Bowlin kit.  After I finished the Newsprint Hanger for ABAA, I was taking a look at the items that came with the project kit, and was inspired to create the Hanger you see below:

All of the elements are part of the kit, except the rub-on, lettering and ribbon.  Those items I had on hand.

ABAA - Newsprint

I missed last weeks challenge - I have been working on my photography and before I knew it the week was gone!

So I made a point to get this week's done early.  ABAA has given us yet another inspiring challenge:  Newsprint.  

Not only is it unusual, it's free!

Here's mine:

I used chipboard for the base of everything covered in newsprint.  I had some vintage sheets from a kit I received months ago.  I stuck it all to a sheet of acetate printed with alphabet, and added some rub ons and ribbon to embellish.  (and a silk flower!)

And if you want to check out what I've been doing with the camera you can check it out on flickr - you can use the link on the right!

Again, GREAT CHALLENGE!

ABAA - Doors

This week over at the Awfully Big Art Adventure the theme is Doors.  I was inspired by Rosie's Door Hanger that she created, and decided to create my own version. {Thanks Rosie!!}

As you can see I haven't yet made it a "hanger" as there isn't anything to hang it from! I'm still deciding what type of fibers to use.

A peek inside the door...

The inside of the door says "Never hesitate to open the door to opportunity."  

I used some mesh I had to create a kind of screen door.  

I really like the way this turned out.  Thanks again for the fantastic challenge.  My walls are filling up with beautiful artwork thanks to you guys!
