Handmade

  This year give a handmade gift to people and/or pets you love. By doing this you are helping small businesses like me and other crafters and artists on places like  Artfire.

  What got me started in this business adventure was my durable dog toys. Don't just take my word on how durable they are. Here is what one of my happy customers had to say. http://www.harmonyinmetal.com/blog/2010/09/11/meet-bella-and-her-new-best-friend/
I also have cards. and here is what another customer had to say. http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/feedback/MJsKraze

A Clown and His Toy

Hi. I have been neglecting my blog and I had good intentions to post this cute costume I made for Buster for Halloween.

Every year I make a new costume and enter him in costume contests at pet stores. This year was the first time he ever took a place. He got 2nd place,which consists of a free toy.
I made a layout of him and his new toy.

It is based on a Sketchy Thursday's 11.10 sketch, except instead of using 4 photos I used 3.

Here is what I came up with.

Rejects and a Layout.

In the start of October I made ten cards for Paper Crafts Magazine WCMD (World Card Making Day) contest. They announced the winners last Friday and I was one of the unlucky participants who didn't win. I want to show you what I sent them

On the bright side these cards went to a good cause. All the non winning entries went to Operation Write Home. More info here.
Now I want to show you this layout I made. It is something a little goofy but I love it. A layout to my stand mixer.
