I'm a proud Nana of 6 plus Great-Nana to two. I'm a child of God, lover of people, and hoping to actually retire one of these days. Right now, I just 'pretend' to be retired. I craft because I love working with my hands, and creating things both frivolous and practical.

Barb's Saturday Post: Altered Frame with Eagle

Hello and Happy Saturday! Barb here with my weekend post.

Monday is Veteran's Day here in the USA. It's a day we have set aside to honor the men and women who have served in our military. That's why I decided to go rather patriotic for this project.

The Bald Eagle is the national bird of the USA and symbolizes the freedoms we are privileged to enjoy. So, when I saw this digistamp from Fitztown, I knew I'd be going in a patriotic direction with it.

I used an inexpensive, unfinished wooden frame and an old pair of worn out jeans to get this project going. Add a couple different star stamps into the mix and I was off and running with it!

To learn more about what I did to make this project come together, please visit my blog post at: In The Studio With Barb: A Crafter's Tribute to Veteran's Day.

Thanks and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Guest Designers

We have a Guest Designer joining us today! She used a Fitztown image on a previous challenge and anytime someone uses a Fitztown image, we invite these participants to join the team for a challenge. The Guest Designer is allowed to select a free image from the store for their use! 

Today, we have Laine and here's a little something she'd like you to know about her:

I love everything about crafting which also includes knitting, crocheting, sewing, writing and photography. I have been collecting supplies for a long time and if you were to ask my daughters the would say I have enough stuff to open my own shop. When I am creating it takes me to a place that is magical and relaxing. Doing something I love is a gift and I feel so blessed I am able to share my passion with so many talented and amazing women every day.
With smiles
