Copper and Lace Heart

 

This lovely Copper and Lace Heart is a gift for a very sweet friend. It hangs from a chain of pearly white trim and is finished with dangles of copper trinkets.

   

The beautiful chipboard words here are die cuts from Creative Embellishments along with the small white gears die cuts in and around the ribbons.

 

The dangles here started off as different colored trinkets so I painted them with copper paint to match the copper sheets at the top of the heart. I also added copper wire springs for that whimsical touch.  

 Here's the back view which I finished as well.

Sweet Mail by Laurie

These chipboard die cut words are from Creative Embellishments Check out there store for more great products.

What's a mailbox with out love notes and a box for sweet chocolates. I've used the same papers and embellishments to help it coordinate with the mailbox.  

Fun whimsical hearts on curly wire and a bright feathered humming bird add just the right touch.   

l

Adding magnates to the metal stand to hold the metal mailbox on, was a way to help break it a part for storage. 

This is a Mailbox and stand I created for a Valentine's home decor' piece. Check out the video showing how this was put together. ...https://www.youtube.com/user/MooreArtFromTheHeart

Blue Baby Shoes

Here's a look at a few of the baby shoes I put together for a baby shower. These 10 shoes are for a custom order from my Artfire store Moore Art From The Heart The picture below shows just a few of the pieces used in the arrangement. Using antique baby shoes that I altered gave the arrangement a vintage cute look. These will make great table decorations and then gifts for the guest.

Check out the video I did showing how these were put together. My link to my Youtube channel Moore Art From The Heart Youtube

Baby Steps

                                         

                                                   

 Here's a look at some baby shoes I altered. As you can see from the picture above, I started with old baby shoes that I picked up on one of my travels to Missouri. All the shoes came tucked down in a large square jar. There were a total of 10 shoes in all. There is nothing more exciting to me then to take a trip Antique Junking and score goodies like these adorable finds. Let me tell you it wasn't easy getting that jar of shoes squished into an already very full suitcase but I did it. If I had to leave clothing behind, those shoes were coming home with me. lol
I first started by painting them all with white gesso and then using a emery board to sand back off some of the gesso in places to make them look worn again. I then used glitter and spray to give them that little bit of Christmas sparkle. Filled them with greenery and small treasures.
Please visit my youtube channel to see more on these sweet baby shoes. Also find some of these cute Christmas treasures in my Artfire store.
Thank you, Laurie

Sweet Tussie Mussie's

The word “Tussie-mussie” is a quaint, endearing term from the early 1400s for small, round bouquets of herbs and flowers with ­symbolic meanings. Because the flowers usually came in a cone shaped container now days we tend to call the cone it's self a tussie mussie. No matter what you call it Tussie Mussie's are fun and easy to make. I first created a floral spray of greenery, flowers, a vintage photo and a few other goodies all placed together and then wrapped with florist tape. By creating a floral spray like this, the arrangement holds together in place when the cone is moved around, like when it's hung on a door. The floral arrangement also can be removed and other goodies can be added or change out the arrangement for a different holiday themed one.
I have a video also showing how I put together these sweet Tussie Mussie's. Take a look... SweetTussie Mussie

Thankful for You

I love being with my Grand kids. This picture was taken on my recent trip to see my sweeties. They enjoyed playing in a piles of leaves on this warm fall day. I’m adding this layout to “Once Upon a Sketch ” challenge.  The theme is “My Happy Place” which is anytime I’m with my Grand Kids for me.

I’ve never worked with this color combination before. It’s not your typical fall color palette but I like the way it came out. My inspiration came from “ Creative Embellishments” beautiful  fall photo and challenge. I choose to use one of their gorgeous chipboard flourishes below the sweet picture of my Grand daughter.

The Inkido challenge this month is to use string, thread or yarn in your layout. I used cheese cloth for a stringy soft accent along with blue eyelash yarn also I've used my sewing machine to stitch in places on this layout.

 In my online ArtFire shop I carry Prima's Junkyard Findings. The Zipper Pull and Typo Bulb shown here in my layout are just a few of those I sell at MooreArtFromTheHeart.artfire.com

Thank you for coming by and checking my work out. Your comments are welcome also.

Christmas Tree

Well here it is the middle of November and I'm starting my Christmas projects. I've had these chipboard tree cones in a set of 3 for about 5 years now and decided it's time to do something with them. They are in graduated sizes from small to large, all with chipboard bases and a wooden dowel to attach the two pieces together. Below here you can see I have already covered the base to the small tree with burlap, twine and rusty bells.

I then pulled out a Christmas pack of paper and three different sizes of snow flake punches to cover the cones. I bought a rusty star garlands and rusty star toppers at Hobby Lobby last year.... I love rusty stuff!! I added some pretty white pearls here and there to set it off. 

The tall one is finished and now to finish the other two. My video on how I put together these trees should be on my youtube channel soon. Link below. Thank you for stopping by.
