Four seasons mixed media canvases
I made these 4 canvases representing all the seasons as an entry for an art auction at my husband's employer, St. Vincent Healthcare Center, to benefit the American Heart Association.
Christmas in July
I'm a little late in posting these! Every July I get Christmas fever and make something "christmasy"! This year the mood to make Christmas cards hit me!

Brave girls
I found this awesome new site called "Brave girls club" recently. Here is a short poem I found there that really spoke to me:
She was an artist.
She decided to try new things.
She could see the possibilities.
She let her inner artist explore.
She decided to let go.
She started to grow.
She let her hair down.
She decided to create art.

Valentine
This is a valentine I made for my husband on a ceramic tile. I used all kinds of mixed media techniques with it. The little heart is chipboard underneath! I used plaster strips over it, let it dry and then painted it.
"home" display
This is a photo display case sold by 7 gypsies that I embellished and hung in my art room!
Vintage receipt holder
This is a product from 7 gypsies (love that company)! I embellished it and hung it in my art room!

Valentines!
I've started making some mixed media Valentine wall hangings to try to banish my mid-winter blues!

Banners
Banners are all the rage now! This is my first one and I have to admit I am officially addicted :) This is a valentine one I made that says "Be Mine." I used this gorgeous new paper from Making Memories called J'tadore.
Tags
These are some tags I made when I started learning mixed media techniques. The tags are wooden and you put them on a rod iron tree. I still have more tags to make before I can fill the tree but thought I would post the tags I 've made so far. I was really happy with how these came out!

Initials
I love making these initials for friends and family as gifts! They are chipboard and the first thing I do is prime them with white gesso. Then I take scrapbook paper and adhere pieces of it using gel medium. After that dries I use acrylic paint to make all the different textures and patterns and then after that dries, add embellishments!
