Long time, no see... but I feel crafty. Come look...
Here is my latest craft addiction. It takes up very little space (just a box and a bag for scraps), very little effort (except creativity of course) and NO money! Love that part...

craft collage and decopauge:


This is a blank book I got a while ago to put my gardening notes in. It needed sprucing up. The cover was blank like postage wrapping paper. The perfect blank canvas... So I cut up two old calanders, and made the front into something new.

What do you think? I have been making cards like this forever... although not with calander pictures. That was a friends idea. But I had never decopauged the paper before. It looks so good that I also did the front of our Book of Shadows. I will show you that later. I am having lots of fun with the meduim... and it doesn't cost anything to make. I had everything right here. The cooler the paper the better the designs turn out. FUN!
