Just sharing a few altered art projects with you today. The first was created with beautiful new Melissa Frances products from her C'est La Vie and Vintage Attic Treasures Vol. 3 collections. I can't begin to tell you how lovely everything is. I used the bell cloche for this project and adhered it to a paper spool left over from Melissa's tinsel packaging...even her packaging it shabby and sweet! I save it all....it's really not a good thing.
Next up just a couple of shabby cottages I made not too long ago for a couple of special customers. These cottages use Papertrey Ink's Home Made stamp set.
And lastly, a new photo of my sweet little heart...we went out on a walk yesterday afternoon. It was bitter cold and windy, but we love our Sunday walks. I snapped a few photos of her and loved how the late afternoon sun just lit her up and made her glow! Her long lashes just melt me as do her rosy cheeks and delicate lips. Love her so.
Thanks for stopping by and for ALL of your thoughtful comments!
Melis
so lovely projects

I always love seeing your little beauty... she would melt anyone's heart. And of course, your mini houses are always so sweet. The new MF is wonderful.

I thought I recognized the house stamps as PTI! What a wonderful marriage of the two companies! I follow your design work on both Melissa Frances and PTI. I have even posted your work on Pinterest!
Thank you for inspiring us with your outstanding work and wonderful outlook on family!
Have a wonderful week!

What a BEAUTIFUL photo - I love the angle of her face, and just the mood of the whole thing. You gotta scrap that one! ;) My girls have those beautiful long lashes that I envy - and they got them from their dad, can you believe it?
I love the second house, the soft colours, and musical paper are just perfect. :D

I love everything you make, Melissa! Your cottages are simply breathtaking (I posted them to Pinterest!) Your daughter is such a little sweetheart. I've only seen your photo on papertrey ink, but I think she looks like you!
