Fall Paper Wreath | #lovefallart

Good Evening,

Here is my second contribution to the #lovefallart Creative Arts Collaboration on YouTube.

Its all recycled material from my house or parents I did not buy 1 thing new to make this!

The whole process took me around 4-5 hours across 2 days to make!

I used old plastic carrier bags, brown paper bags, Wire coat hanger, Hospital stockings from operation, Burlap ribbon and bits and pieces pinched from parents house! 

I love how it all turned out. I didnt put ribbon exactly in the middle so hangs to the side a little but am going to get Adam to bend the coat hanger hook a bit more so it hangs straight.

Stay tuned for this weekend's project we are going a little more spooky in preparation for October!

Autumn is my favourite time and Halloween has got to be one of my favourite holidays!

Halloween is a big thing in my parents house and people from all over come to see thier house all done up for Halloween. Not many people participate in the festivities around there so their house does stick out like sore thumb!

Here is my friend a made in 2006 and he is still dragged out every year!

ANYWAY......

DCWV - Doodling' Around Paper Stack

Keepsake : Paw Print Frames #pawgustart‬

Project for today is a keepsake to go on the wall. It got rather messy and was a stressful day trying to do this!

Inspiration/Scraplift from Edyta Diseño which I saw on a Doggie DIY Projects post:

My frames turned out a little differently as I wanted a picture of my boys with their paw print. As you can tell the paw print looks nothing like the above one. We tried with paint and it just made a splodgie unrecognizable blob! We did have footage but I accidentally deleted it. Lets just say myself and the dogs got a little messy and stressed.

So I cleaned their paws of the paint and also now have 2 black marks on my carpet from where Barney got away from me before I could wash his paw! 
I went and had a cup of tea and looked around my desk at what else I could use as I have been thinking of making this project for a few weeks now and had already painted the frames and mounted the photos so was pretty deflated!

I googled to check if ink pads were toxic to dogs and it said as long as water-based and non-toxic and paws cleaned thoroughly after it was ok.

As you can see the paw prints are very different and they look very different even through they are the same breed of dog (Beagles). I am glad I persisted with this project as I love how they turned out. 

I used letter stickers for the names instead of writing it as I could not get it as fancy as original. 

I am going to make a big photo gallery up the stairs with different pictures/frames after we have decorated.

Sam's Scrapbook Process : Hoochie #pawgustart‬

I will be joining in the Creative Arts Collaboration again this month and the hashtag is #pawgustart‬ so anyone who loves animals and art is going to need to tune in for this months virtual art festival!

As most of you know I am a mother of 4 fur babies so this is definitely up my street!

So my first project is a scrapbook process video which unfortunately got cut short I was trying out a new camera and it ran out of memory before I realized I finished my page! I am not sure on the camera angle either so let me know what you think!?

Inspiration/Scraplift from Nina Ostermann:

So this was my cat Hooch who had to sadly be put to sleep Nov 2014 and I still get up sad looking at his pictures as he was my favorite and I think he thought I was his mother! My mams friend found him in 1996 an extremely small and frighted kitten in a back alley. As my family had a few cats she brought him to us and he never left my side for 18 years.

I realized I had never scrapped a picture of him! I came across this photo from a few years back of him sitting with his tongue out. It was cute as when he would groom himself his tongue sometimes would get dry and not go back into his mouth so I would have to push it back in for him!

He was called "Hooch" and not after Turner and Hooch as most of you will think! If your from the UK there is an alcoholic drink called Hooch. No I am not a recovering Alcoholic all our cats have always been named after drinks - Pepsi, Cola, Whiskey, Hooch, Becks, Brandy and Coke. 

I used to call him "Hoochie Poochie" (I know he is not a dog but it rhymed, ok?)

Used:
Paper - 4heures37 - 6 Impasse Des Chenes


Grace Taylor Modern Cabin Stickers
American Crafts Remarks - Chickadee
Cat Die cuts (free with magazine ages ago)
Paper Doily
Webster Pages Alison Kraft Photo Corners

OMG I am waffling on tonight! Stay tuned for tomorrow's project which involves the dogs!

Smash Book Art : Love not War #lovesummerart

Another Smash Book page and my inner hippie came out.

First Off I would like to say I DID NOT draw this picture! Not sure who the artist is as the signature not readable. I found image on pinterest .

Was going for a tie dye background and think it turned out ok. Need to get a new sharpie to tidy up letters and peace sign.

Smash Book Art : Life Cards #lovesummerart

I love Disney and I love vintage 40's/50's pin-up girl images.

First Off I would like to say I DID NOT draw this picture!

When I saw the images that Italian artist Emmanuel Viola did I was floored! I used his Snow White image I can not draw for the life of me so I traced and tweaked it a little.

I used vintage Joanna Sheen paper for the background and they looked like betting slips which goes with them gambling theme and William Hill which it has printed on is a betting shop here in the UK! 

The quote I think I just made up myself cant find it on google, there are similar quotes which state cant change deck just play the cards you are dealt which I personally don't agree with that!

Pages didn't turn out how I wanted but still happy with it.
