Valentine’s Day Is Just Around The Corner

January 10, 2012 in frames, print, valentine, vinyl

With Valentine’s Day coming up it’s time to start making stuff as in cards, prints, frames, etc…. You get the drift. I usually procrastinate and then quickly try and make a bunch of products right before the 14th. I’m trying to take a different approach to this whole system. It’s so much more enjoyable when I don’t work under such intense pressure so I will keep on trying.

I made my first two Valentine products which I created using Adobe Illustrator. I’ll try and show a bit of the process which I used. This is a screen shot from set up I used in AI. I printed this onto Epson 8″x10″ Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte.

I have been wanting to build a ladder for quite some time now. I haven’t been lucky enough to find an old used one at garage/auction sales…so it was time to finally build my own. I bought all the supplies at our local building supply store. I used 1″ dowels and one pine board for the sides which I cut down to the correct size. I did have help with some of the cutting.

Journals

December 28, 2011 in journal

I made a couple of journals which I would like to share with you. These make such great gifts for someone who loves to write down their thoughts, poems, or use during study time.

I used light weight cardboard for the covers and covered them with card stock. This one I tried to do a little girly style with a white paper doily, some lace, paper key and misc embellishments. I created the line paper inside the journal with Microsoft Publisher and printed it double sided.
