Hello everyone and welcome!

Today is a quick photo post of my dress I made for Elena over at Charity Wings. She is waring it for the second day of Live from CHA! To see more projects with more of these types of flowers then check out my other blog post about my sister's wedding.

All hand sewn onto a base tank dress from Walmart...  Shhhh don't tell Elena... LOL!

As always got to give props to my HELMAR adhesive! LOVE this stuff... All the flowers and embellishments were attached with these glues...

Close up of the crown and wings stitched with DMC floss.

CHA 2012 Folded book projects with My Minds Eye and Helmar

Hello readers!
Today I am going to briefly share with you two of my projects I created for the Helmar booth at CHA Winter 2012.

The bird house was created with the lost and found line from my minds eye and some wonderful Helmar Acid Free Glue and Helmar 450 Quick Dry.  Folding and tearing book pages seems to be consuming my life lately LOL!

This next piece was also created for Helmar's booth but it was also donated to Charity Wings Organization for the carnival raffle at CHA Winter 2012. The winner of the raffle for this item was from the Neatherlands... I'm an international artist baby! LOL. Just kidding... but I thought that was pretty cool.
