BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Hello and welcome back to my blog.  Today I want to share a couple of projects that were created to celebrate Black History month..  First is a scrapbook layout I did for a challenge over at Scraps of Color hosted by Princess http://papercraftingparadise.blogspot.com/.  Every year she hosts a Black History Bingo challenge.  I don't scrapbook much, but I wanted to support the challenge.  My second project is an altered wood box that I painted and added art and embellished.  In honor of Black History month, I will be giving this away on Facebook.  Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to create something yourself today.

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS SWAP

Hello peeps, just me popping in to share what I made for my swap partner over at Scraps of Color.  Princess Jones (Paper Craftingparadise) hosted a Random Acts of Kindness swap where we were paired off and had to make a hand made gift along with some other goodies to send our partner.  I was paired with Shirley Milsapp (Crafty Gardens) who stated she liked the colors black, blues and gold.  I opted to make her something she could hang in her craft room.  I started with a wood frame from the 99 cent store and painted it black.  Then I chose an image from the Prima Princess coloring book which had dreads since Shirley wears her hair in a similar style.  Finished it of with her initial, flowers. bling and some gold leaves.  I really enjoyed making this for her as she is such a caring and giving person.  She loved it and I hope you will too.  Peace
