white space and valentines

happy valentine's day for those who celebrate! 

first, here s something for the our midweek muse white space challenge:

this bunny wishes you lots of love!

and next, here are some of the valentines i made for my work mates this year. altogether i did about 25 designs for our staff of 54. making 54 unique cards was just too much! 

all of the above cards are made with a variety of images form retired mischief circus kits. lots of crowabout studio B, tumblefish studios, holliewood studios,  and itKuPiLLi for example.

i might share more valentines later this week.

meanwhile, love to all, and may peace prevail on earth.

altered tins in the new year

i've finally managed some real sit down crafting time. i've been wanting to make tins as gifts. i got several of them started and finished some too. here are a couple of them. i'm hoping to finish and post more in the coming days.

here are front side and inside views. i use paper/washi tapes for the sides (with additional 2-sided tape to help it stay). the papers on and in these come from several sources, gecko galz, CS designs, itKuPiLLi. outside images on these are mostly from gecko galz. some crowabout studio B also.

love to all.
