Wreath

While I was at home, with "nothing" to do, I started making wreaths, out of an old Baptist Hymnal.  I made a large one for a friend, had some pages left over, so I made a smaller one for us. I still had pages left over.  I ended up making 3 small ones, each had a different type of center. The small ones I made on leftover CD's, it worked perfect, the circle in the middle made a perfect stopping point, for the center.  I might have to go Hymnal shopping at the used bookstores or at thrift shops.  If you have one you don't want anymore, I could try it for an all ready made wreath!  I am thinking of other things to do with the left over pages (covering a candle, adding to handmade cards, bookmarks, etc.)
Any suggestions?

What a Novel Idea

This is called a NOVEL WREATH.... OK I saw this somewhere on YouTube and just had to do it... I had an old book, some duct tape, a glue gun, and a piece of form board.  A few hours later, this is what I ended up with.  I like it.  My one "problem" was, where to put it.  So I took down my other wall art, and moved it to the bathroom (since it was made of toilet paper rolls and put this one up in the dining room. 

Iris folding cards

Here is another sample of the cards I made using the Iris fold and painting. I also used the computer to make the cards by saving them to a jpeg and printing them on the cards. Now I have used My Digital Studio to make a scrapbook page out of them and saved as a peg file so that they can be shared. I am learning how to make a digital photo album. This has been a lot of fun learning how do all these things. The love of painting, making cards, computer, etc. all combined together to make craft projects. Just haven't figured out a way to combine knitting into all of this.......... hmm will have to think on that one a little more........ If you have a tip or how toos let me know... I am always trying to learn something new.

See Ya,
