A Non-Halloween Break!

Hello Everyone:)

Well it's been an exciting couple of weeks

on my blog with the Co-Hosted Giveaway

with Kristin Hubick 

of 

Retro Cafe Art Gallery

which both of us enjoyed so much!

So I thought, I would give a little break

to all the Halloween 

colours and projects, for all of our eye's 

to have a rest, 

So, I took on another 

Project Challenge 

from Kristin and

it's in conjunction with her latest 

Giveaway

on Retro Cafe Art Gallery in 

Celebration 

of her 

New Venture with

Land of Enchantment

Graphics Sheets by

Debrina Pratt!

I have been a collector of Debrina's Graphics

for a couple of years now, so I was thrilled

to see that she and Kristin have this 

New Venture together and

with this 

New Giveaway 

on

Retro Cafe Art Gallery's Blog

You all can Win too!

So here's my answer to Kristin's Challenge:)

This is my 

'French Peacock Shrine'

(and as some of you know from pictures of

my Art Room on Facebook, this is right

up my alley! LOL) 

( If you'd like to see, send me a 'Friend' Invite

on Facebook/Denise Phillips:)

I made this from 

Kristin's Coffee Break Design Kit

ATC Shrine and Land of Enchantments Graphics Sheets :)

(Background sheet to display also one of

Land of Enchantments 

Graphics Sheets:)

I love these colours and graphics!

I also used Coffee Break Design's 

Arch Trinket Shrine and Fancy Brass 

Feather Crowns and of course

Mr. Tim Holtz Hitches as feet!

(Becoming a regular feature on my pieces!)

I so much enjoyed making it that I decided to go

a bit further with these wonderful graphics sheets

and Kristin's Coffee Break Design Kits.

Of course for me, it's all about the Birds! LOL!

Debrina's Graphics of her birds have always

been a Favourite of mine!

But check out those mini crowns!

Teensy Tiny Brass Crowns from

Retro Cafe Art:)

I loved playing with this little kit of Mini Stand-Up Houses,

and my ideas are 'flying' 

on how to use more of them!

But until then, 1 more project I finished this

week, which I used some of Land of Enchantments

Graphics, and a Vintage Photo from my own

collection, 

a few extra vintage goodies I've collected 

from Kristin along the way and 

also of course my favourite

Alphabet Beads!

This is an 8 x 10 Collage piece I'm calling

'Thrill Seeker'

( I just love that woman's expression!)

I photographed it before framing...

I mounted it in an 8 x 10 Shadow Box frame:)

So there you go!

I've had a wonderful week of being creative thanks
