Kathren is on an owl kick and we are in love with her vintage fabric owl.  She always likes to use the kit from the previous month. 

There is some portion of the kit in this sweet faced owl.

Another cutie pie owl.  From one extreme to another.  Talk about mixed media! 

This is a work of art.

Cynthia got her paint brushes out this month and created this incredible canvas.  The heart is dimensional.  There are several layers of book paper and each page is painted.  Gorgeous!

Cynthia also made this bees was collage.  It’s as cute as a bee’s knees!

Book Club Crop–January 2012

We had a blast on Crop day.  This is a very comfortable group of ladies to spend time with.  Everyone does their own thing, whether it’s cropping, crafting, shopping, eating, or socializing.  It’s just a fun day.


Here's some of our pretty girls.
Kathren, Alma, Gaye and Cynthia

Gee Gee’s Book Club–New Year

 

We are still swapping our canvases.  I wish you could see them in person because they are really awesome!  Everyone is adding their own personality to each other’s canvas. 

 

IMG_0025

 

This was our cute Make and Take.  Allyson’s flower turned out the way it was suppose to look.  Some of us definitely struggled.  A little practice would help.

 

IMG_0026

Our kit this month included a fabulous, very vintage album book.  Everyone’s book of albums was different.  It will be so interesting to see how these books are altered by our wonderfully talented ladies.  We also received Gilded Mica Fragments by Stampendous, 3D Crystal Lacquer by Sukura Hobby Craft, and family oriented rub-ons.

 

Gentle Reminder of items you may want to bring next month:

  • Canvas Swap
  • Current book Stampington’s Art JournalingCVR_JRN0112_lg
