Reversible Art

Here's an art piece I made for my sisters apartment.. I took a big piece of foam board and painted one side. I was going for a 70's mod look. ;)
On the other side of the foam board I made a Giant Polaroid. I enlarged my picture so that it fit on 4  8&1/2"x11" pieces of paper, and then I pieced them together on the foam board.

Don't forget about the Craft Marathon!

Psssstt.... Have you signed up for the craft marathon yet??
I am going to be hosting what I'm calling "Punk Projects Craft Marathon", It's a free 10 week craft challenge with a marathon theme. It will be hosted on a blog of it's own, not punk projects.

Each week will have a different challenge based on a color, example: Week 1 is called "miles 1 & 2" and the challenge is to use the color apple green in your project. There will be a flickr gallery where participants can upload their project each week. 
I will also be posting alot of free downloads!

This is a challenge not a contest. At the end of the challenge there are going to be LOTS of giveaways for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places, as well as other awards.

The prizes are based on how many of the challenges you participate in, for exanmple:
If you do all of the challenges you get entered into the 1st place drawing. 5 or more, you get entered into 2nd place drawing. and less the 5 and you get entered into the 3rd place drawing.


I have a limited number of sponsor spots on the Craft Marathon blog! That is 10 WEEKS of advertising! All you have to do to be a sponsor is donate a prize.
Let me know if you are interested in sponsoring the craft marathon blog asap!


The challenge is going to run from Feb 5th to April 15th.
Sign ups are open until Feb 4th!!
To sign up, just leave a comment on this post with your name and email, or email me.

Swimming With Dolphins

I just thought I would share a couple of layouts I made using pictures from our Dolphin Swim in the Florida Keys.
This is a scraplift of Heather's LO- http://clubcreatingkeepsakes.com/media/p/804331.aspx
I wasn't too sure how this next layout was going to look when I started, but i love how it turned out! I used a Liquitex  heavy gloss medium mixed with a little blue paint to make the dolphins!

*GIVEAWAY from Dreaming in Craft!*

Hi!  I'm marci from Dreaming in Craft.  I make felt and fabric plushies and accessories.  I am so excited that Katie asked me to host a giveaway on her blog!  

Wondering what you can win?


It's a mini felt penguin plushie!  This is one of my favorite plushies to make.  Felt mini plushies are only available at Dreaming in Craft for certain parts of the year but since this is a special occasion I thought it would be fun to let Katie's readers have one.

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment with your name and email address.  It's so easy!

Good luck!

(Isn't that penguin plushie so so cute? I will choose a winner on Feb 1st! Thanks, Marci!)
