Christmas shadowbox

This is a photo was taken in 2004 & it was the last Christmas that my sister and I spent together. In spring 2005 she was diagnosed with Multiple myeloma. She passed away December 2005. I miss you Lydia! I've had this photo in my kitchen window since 2004 and I decided to make a shadow box with it. I scanned the photo onto a digital page and printed it. Then I added the star and jingle bells.

Your project is beautiful, Rhoda! December must be a difficult time for you. It is lovely for you to see a reminder of a joyful Christmas with your sister, though, and I hope it brings you more smiles than tears. (((Hugs!)))

This is my second Kim Bright file & I loved the way it turned out! It took an hour to cut it out and about 4 hours to weed. I just took my time and tried my best.

recycled Lipton tea jars

There is a saying in the south that if the Good Lord made anything better than iced tea, he kept it for himself. We drink a lot of tea around here. My husband and son love sweet tea & I drink it unsweetened. My husband and son also love MickeyD sweet tea for a buck! This summer I had a collection of empty tea jars so I wanted to see what I could do with them. I was inspired by a Plaid video showcasing Mod Podge and glass jars. I adapted the project so I could call on some of my digital graphic stash to make these candle holders. For my digital graphics I printed a paper of antique maps from  Miss Crow's Magickal Emporium™ , Jaguarwoman's "Wetlands" Backgrounds and my all time favorite designer Miki Ferkul .I have a lot of Miki's kits and I cannot remember which one that this print came from. I printed these and applied them to the jars with Mod Podge. I opted for battery operated candles for safety reasons. Hopefully tomorrow I can take photos of ...
