Creating Tussie Mussies from vintage music sheets, LaMarr's grandmother was a music teacher for many years,she collected and stored just about every music booklet she ever used.
Browsing Pinterest. I ran across so many great upcycle/recycle ideas for the music sheets.
Rolled the music sheet into a cone, hot glued in place, cut a section of burlap to cover the cone,I found the bulap at Home Depot at a great price
Love the burlap roses, the loose weave on the burlap makes it easy to work with,
I wanted a "Prim" look to this cone.
Added a piece of straw string tied into a bow, a few trinkets,
A tea stained silk rose,added scrunched vintage binding, 
I like how the Tussie Mussie turned out.
I created this Tussie Mussie to hold my dried roses.
Cold and raining today, looking forward to Spring, these cold dreary months are good for a few things,
Cleaning house,organizing,and creating~
The sweet mesh teapot I found in a "Thrift Store~, loved the vintage look and thought the roses would be a pretty "center piece" for my upstairs foyer sitting area~ 
I had passed up the teapot,saying to myse;f "You do not need another thing to sit around~
The more I thought about that old pot,I knew I had to have it.
It will be so pretty for a Spring Tea Party, sitting on a tea cart,with tea bags inside.
Gathering up a few old cards,my Victorian Trading Co. catalogs I sat and "Thought" what to create today~
Decided to create a few art tags for "gifts: and my vintage rag designs~.
"I actually scanned a old print for the dressmaker photo" on this card, creating a two sided card,I designed the card in paintshop,
added them side by side on a 8.5x 11 sheet.
The sheet should hold at least 2 full tags,
Printed as many tags as I wanted to create~
I cut snippets from my old catalogs to use on this sweet little tag
Key To My Heart~
punched holes for the tattered ribbons, I used a vintage parchment paper inside for text,layered on a cute little key,a tiny silk rose,added crystal glitter, some tattered lace, I used craft Victorian scissors to trim the edges. Stamped the inside with a Paris stamp..just to give it a little Paris flair~
Altered art work
I started out with a insert from a Victorian Magazine, folded in half, set aside,
browsed my mag for sayings, fonts, pictures I would like to use, I cut the images that appealed to me, then gathered trims I could possibly use.
I folded the paper insert from magazine in half, laid out different designs on the card, till you get the look you want,a few buttons, a tattered piece of lace, you are now ready to create altered art,
Now you are ready to add elements to your card, using a small brush, brush mod podge on your card, layering each element.
Using a punch ..to make two holes for tattered binding and tie a knot.
I also layered the back of card with images,
the inside is plain paper for text with a few bits of lace..
I hand stamped Paris and Fragile..dusted with crystal glitter..
