Door Hangers


I've been working on a lot of different projects lately, and one that I've enjoyed doing is a door hanger. Jeanie over at All My Art has a challenge going on, so I thought I'd jump in and try one of my own. I love all things Paris, so that's the theme I went with. I cut two of them out of a cereal box and glued them together for extra strength, then gessoed and painted them an antique white color; I stamped french text with a TH tea dye ink. I found an image of the Eiffel Tower and resized and cut it out, a vintage image of a Parisian couple, then made a PARIS tag; I glued all those down, then stamped a Paris postage stamp in a couple places. I then antiqued all around with brown shoe polish. I made a charm with beads and a crown key, then attached it with a fleur de lis brad. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

I'm still trying to learn about how to do things with my blog. One of the things I'm working on, but haven't mastered yet is how to share a link to other blogs, so I can't put a link to Jeanie's blog, but if you go to All My Art, you will find that Jeanie has a lot to share with some really great ideas. Thanks Jeanie for this challenge. :)

Blogger has been making me crazy!!

Well, it's been a long time since I've been able to make a post here, and I'm just hoping that this one is going to go through! I don't know what's been happening with blogger, but everytime I've tried to get here to post something, there's been something or another that has been acting up to prevent it. There's been lots going on around here to talk about, but it's going to take more than one post to tell/show it all LOL Have a lot to share now that I can get on here, so I'll be back soon and get some of it done. I'm so glad to be back, hope someone has missed me! haha :)
