Welcome to
Hosted by the beautiful
Leslierahye
Happy 20th Anniversary
my friend
you are an example to many
marriages can work
our new generation
treats relationship like its a bag of M&M candies
you eat and when you don't want anymore
you just throw it away

Marriage is a process

I am 6 years into mine
and have a long way to go
We need to take bad with our good
never stop fighting or stop believing
in each other
support one another
love each other unconditionally

I hope you like what I've made for you...

ANNIVERSARY FANCY FRAME

First try
I baked the clay with waxed paper
TOTAL NO NO
it release toxic fumes in the
and warped my clay - I thought I could recover it by
adding silver paint in the lettering but decided to
redo again

Second try
 
Ahhh much better - Softer more subtle approach

 I pressed the clear stamp
on the polymer clay to match the wood frame flourish


INGREDIENTS
Wooden Fancy Frame - Michaels
Silver Polymer Clay - Fimo
Flourish Clear Stamp - Inkadinkado
Red Rubber letter Stamps - Hero Arts
Large Mesh Bling - In-Store coming soon
Mulberry Flowers - In-Store coming soon

 
Our marriage reached a growing point
We've rackup
Twenty Years
And Now it's time to celebrate
wine or several beer
it's time to settle back a while
enjoy the peace we've earned
because if we don't celebrate
out friends will be concerned.

Might add additional details personally for my Leslie
oh so happy for ya

Red-White-Blue Summer Steampunk Blog Hop (June 20th)

WELCOME

hosted by 
if you are just stopping by to see what I am up to
and want to start from the beginning then click HERE

STEAMPUNK - [steem-puhngk] - Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, usually set in an anachronistic Victorian or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. It could be described by the slogan "What the past would look like if the future had happened sooner." It includes fiction with science fiction, fantasy or horror themes. 

Medieval Steampunk: Speculative fiction set during the Middle Ages. 

Victorian Steampunk: A modern Science Fiction work (post-1930s) that is set in the early parts of the industrial revolution. 

Western Steampunk: Science fiction set in the American Old West. 

Industrial/Modern Steampunk: Science fiction taking place in the late industrial age, early modern age; i.e. World War 1, World War 2

steampunk is a growing trend that has taken a form of its own through fashion and in the crafting world.  Either you love it or you don't. Eclectic in it's own right and uniquely beautiful.  I have evolved in mycrafting abilities and now greatly inspired by the steampunk era.

Our theme was
Red-White-Blue Summer


What other way to celebrate but to
recognize Steampunk with American Pride
