Decoupaged Halloween Candles

I transformed a plain glass jar with a few sheets of construction paper, some MOD PODGE,  a couple clip art images and my favorite embellishment-glitter glue! All this in no time flat to boot!

From blah to simply spooky.

Dracula and his Lair

Which came first? The styrofoam or the vampire? In this case, the the styrofoam came first, then a few tooth picks were added for hair,  some eyes to see as well as a cape for spooking until Dracula was born. Once created, he needed a home and alas his Lair was born! All of the spooktacular majesty started with a simple styrofoam ball. Wow!

Heidi's Garden Chime

As Twyla Tharp once said,” Art is the only way to run away without leaving home”

Here Heidi “ran away” for a bit to CReATE a little whimsy for her garden with buttons and beads.

The joy that comes with playful thought creates lasting treasures to brighten any garden or home.

The GO ship

There is much to discover when sailing the high seas…you never know when you’ll see land again. Our imaginations can take us anywhere we want to go. Here, high seas adventure started with a piece of cloth, a few wood blocks, some masking tape and a few bits of string. I can just smell the salt air, can’t you.

Sailing High Seas

How many times have we wanted to travel to far off places, day dreaming of adventures we have only read about in books. Here, Emma took the simplest of materials, namely pieces of cork from an old  wall pannel and turned them into the high seas, complete with a serpent monster! Wont you come away with us…

Maisy's Altered Fairy Tale

This old copy of a children’s book gets a new story to tell with magical mixed media style.

You can create your own Altered book, like Maisy did here using puzzle pieces, lace trimmings, paint pens, buttons and other fanciful embellishments to make it uniquely you.

Kristin's Bird

Sweet Little bird. Inspiration struck this Mama while her children created theirs. A forgotten ornament got wings to fly and what a pretty little thing it is.

Horsey

You know those times when you see something cute in a magazine and you think…”I want to make that”! Well that’s just what Chloe said to her mom, so they hopped in the car and headed for CReATE! After some fun collaborative mother daughter time, they had their very own horsey, just like the picture they saw in the magazine (except theirs was pink)!
