Tim Holtz’s shadow box painted with crackle paint, scrapbook paper in the back, and old emphera and items from my collection from my Nanny’s attic. Shadow box and crackle paint sold in the store.

I painted this canvas with a sponge brush which gave it the washed look. I only used the blue paint – the canvas was white. I cut the outline of the flower out on the cricut and made a pattern to make each pedal different. I used decupage medium to adhere the flower to the canvas, and I also put decupage on the ribbon so that it made it stiff. Paper used is “On a Whimsy” from Fancy Pants.

This is a piece of painted wood, rubbed with brown chalk, and decupaged tags for a wall hanging in Hannah’s room. These were very cute tags she had saved when she bought new clothes. It makes a great art piece for her room.
