Capturing every precious moment life has to offer, with my trusted camera by my side is pure joy! Then turning those photos into art is my passion! I can always be found spending every spare minute in "Rana's Nerd Corner", as my husband calls it, having an absolute blast doing what I love making something out of anything. Finally! Here I am hoping to inspire you in the way my favorite artists have inspired me. Be Creative. Be Optimistic. Be Inspired.

Vintage Misc. Mixed Media Album
Vintage Misc. Mixed Media Album, a set on Flickr.
I love the Bo Bunny Collection Et Cetera, it is so universal, I can add any type of photo to this album. This book is jam-packed with countless opportunities for photos and journaling, I am still adding to it. This is an everyday album that I can add new or old events to, along with all my thoughts and inspiration in life. There were definitely no restrictions in this project for me, because it is not limited to a specific theme or event. I will probably make more similar to it just for fun!

Spring is here! Time to get organized..yay!
Here is one of my organizing tricks: a re-purposed planter crate. Who would have thought huh? I found this treasure at a local thrift store and I originally bought it to organize my buttons. Now I have added flowers, jewels, butterflies, metal trinkets, and anything else that I could easily fit into these compartments.
This is one of my favorite organizing trays, I can just set it on my craft table and easily dig through my color coordinated embellishments. This tray is 14x14" and each compartment is about 4.5" wide so I can grab a fist-full without making a huge mess!(granted I do have child-like hands lol) If you can find or build a wooden tray like this, you can paint it to your desired color and you will love it too! 8)

Charming Charms
I just added some new vintage charms to this album and it definitely completes the vintage look I was going for when I designed this book. I attached a pretty cameo and locket to the dangling key chain. I also added a little chandelier crystal to dangle on one of the lower vines to add a little more glimmer(as if there wasn't enough bling..lol). Just wanted to share these little details with you hope you like it as much as I do.
