Zentangle me this!

I am so excited that a finally sat down and did a Zentangle. I saw a book at work about it and decided to Google it. So many inspiring people out there. I'm looking forward to making more Zentangles and finding ways to incorporate it into my crafts.


Happy crafting:)

Crafting 'til the last minute.

So...we know I'm on vacation right now but as you all know, I can't stop crafting. Yes, even on vacation. Crazy I know, but, here at my in-laws the girls do a lot of playing outside with Grammy. So that leaves me some time to do a wee bit of crafting. Let's start with the night before we drove to Idaho. I'm starting to dabble in photo transfer and am trying to find a good medium to transfer with. Here are the results:







Then I decided that I wanted to alter the cover of my SMASH book. Here is the before:



....and the not yet completed:



I say "not yet completed" because I'm sure that I want to alter it more as I go along. I'll share pictures of same of my pages in future posts. SMASHing is so fun. I have found many things to include. I'll leave you for now but I'll return with more projects to share. Until then, I hope you have a great crafty day!
Smiles,
Tara

Artistic Jason

Before we left for our trip to Idaho I was able to get Jason inspired to do some artwork of his own. He's enjoying being able to explore different types of media to express his creativeness. Here he is creating a piece with beer bottle caps.



Here is just a picture of the bottles caps we've collected.



Hopefully when he gets back home he'll be able to finish it. After all, we won't be there to distract him;) Although I'm on vacation, the crafting bug hasn't gone away. My in-laws gave me stamps, a few stamp pads, and some patterned paper for my birthday. Of course that calls for at least some card making;) we've even made some polymer clay figurines. I'll post pictures of those in a later post. Well, thats it for now. Back to the vacay.
