Chan's Vision Board

Posted by  On 
Recently, I watched some videos about visualization. In one of the videos, I saw a woman who had made a board with all the things that she wanted to do in life. Actually she said all of those things are starting to come true. I felt inspired by the video and decided to make my very own visualization board. I haven't put anything on it yet but I will be filling it up soon.

"Without a Vision, the people perish" Proverbs 29:18

God bless, Chan


I changed the old frame by wrapping the frame with white lace.

Altered Picture Frame

Posted by  On 
This is a picture frame I got from Walmart for $1.00.  It don't have to cost a lot to make crafts!
 
I used a lot of pink paper roses in various hues.  To add some variety, I also added light mint green roses.
On the color wheel pink (light red) is the opposite of mint green (green).

How to Make a Greeting Card

Posted by  On 
A lot of people overlook the importance of a greeting card when they are purchasing gifts for friends or loved ones.  I want to demonstrate how the greeting card can be a particularly significant part of a present.  In some cases, the greeting card can become the actual gift.  A craft artist can make many different types of cards because there are so many styles to create.

Paper bag cards are the best, and I just love them.  There is just so much that can be done with this simple item.  Since paper bags are inexpensive, a craft artist can literally make a masterpiece for just pennies on the dollar.  Paper Bags are also handy and versatile in that tags and letters can be stored in the open end of the bag.  In previous projects, I have decorated my paper bag cards with lace, paper flowers, fancy buttons, and ribbon.  They have always been a big hit with my friends and family.  I often give my paper bag cards away as gifts.
