Feeling the spirit

It's been chilly here in Maryland this week and it's got me inspired, so in between doctor appts. and daily rituals, I've been trying to do a little creating. Nothing like cold weather to make me want to play indoors!

Here are a few of my results.





Cards were made using stamps from Oxford Impressions...love the new set I got last week.




These are ATC size but I'll use them as tags, or could be used as ornaments. I have been mad into beeswax lately, and I dipped these in wax for an older look. I love how it makes the layers appear from beneath. Try it, it is so much fun to work with...but it is addictive, so watch out.





A new Cavalier bracelet to add to my website. This was easy and fun to do. I simply downsized the pictures, punched them out with a circle puncher, glued them to the bottle caps, and added glaze to seal. Used E6000 glue to attach to blank bracelet.The gold buttons are very old and I didn't clean them because I like their "oldness", but the crowns were a perfect compliment to the Cavaliers, known to be companions to Royalty.
I'm sure you've seen these bracelets before, nothing new, but a fun, quick Christmas gift to make with any designs/photos you like. What kills me is when I see similar ones in catalogs for big bucks. This cost under $10 to make, although the old buttons could enhance it's value. I have no idea what they are worth.

Happy creating!
