September It Girl - Mideavel




Art Ventures September IT girl is Adrienne and her topic was Mideavel. This made me realize that I know very Little about history! I Was able to find some mideavel manuscripts as well as a wonderful mideavel deck of cards with images of men & women on them. Someone else posted about gargoyles, so I added some of them too. LOL I felt the front was missing Something..........but I couldn't find anything that fit, except the color of the bead I added just at the last. I am going to consider that a Mideavel Lantern. ;-)

Vintage Postcard Halloween Chunky Book



This is my page for a Halloween chunky book I signed up for. We were to use the vintage postcard we chose, as well as add a vintage actual photo of our family dressed for Halloween. I didn't have any family pictures like that, but found one on the internet. Oddly, the girl on the right looks exactly like I did at that age. :-) I'm Pretending that was my family. LOL

Little books for trades for Raevn's Nest

I wanted to do trades for Raevn's Nest and since I am so Totally in Love with my Bind It All And my Cuttlebug Embossing folders, I decided to make little books. I used a couple of the images I used on the chunky book page, changed them a bit for the book & added a couple more pages for the inside of the front & back covers and, here are my little book trades. I thought maybe people could use them to take notes in class, gather peoples email addresses, etc. I made 62!!! LOL

Aqua, Pink & Ivory Chunky Book Swap

I joined a chunky book swap that was due in September titled "Aqua, Pink & Ivory". I thought it would be fun to try using a combination of colors I'm not so familiar with. I Love teal or aqua....pink not so much. I ended up doing something so Completely Different than I've done. I think I ended up liking it. I'm so Used to doing more vintage designs and nature colors. But here was the final page.
