Miss Teddy Bear Tag
Hi Everyone!
This is another Tear Bear that I made. I call this one Miss Teddy Bear because she has a skirt on with a red flower over her ear.

How to Make a Tear Bear
Recently, I was inspired by a video on youtube produced by scrapbookingwithakic on how to make tear bears. Tear bears are very popular right now. In fact, tear bears are one of the most popular paper piecings for making a scrapbook and making scrapbook pages. I've noticed a lot of people are selling tear bears online and using them when they make a scrapbook.

Here's my latest piece. Someone had recommended that I do a picture of Cleopatra. I found a picture online that I used for a model. It's not exactly like the picture but I did use it for inspiration.

Altered Art Wooden Box and Picture Frame from Michaels
Hi Everyone! Happy New Year 2012!!
This is my latest project that I've been working on. I had some wooden boxes and frames that I had purchased from Michaels this summer. I decided to take them out and alter them. I used scrapbook paper, pearls, acrylic flat back beads, paint, paper roses, and crocheted flowers. You can alter boxes and picture frames and give them away as gifts or use them for your family pictures. For the boxes, you can also make little mini scrapbooks to fit inside. Unfinished wooden items are very inexpensive and great to use for your crafts.
