Welcome

My name is Lisa Wagenhurst (AKA Craftye Ladye of Craftye Ladye Creations). This is my new blog for my newest creative obsession. I have become enamored of paper art as well as miniatures, I can hardly believe it myself. My newest ventures are collage, altered arts, paper theaters, paper art dolls, ATCs and anything else that has to do with altering and paper. I hope you enjoy your stay with me and thanks for coming along on this journey.

Ok, Here are some paper dolls I did for some swaps on other yahoogroups. The top one is a Civil War Era Doll. The two below are my take on Raggedy Ann and Andy.





A few fabric ATCs

My first attempt at fabric ATCs, I think I will stick with paper for now, LOL. It looks like I can only upload one picture right now. Hopefully I can get more later.

A special thank you


My sweetheart had emergency surgery in January and had to have a nurse do home visits 3 days a week for the past 4 months. As a thank you I made her this special card. I used a gothic gatefold arch template and used a cute little image of a little girl dressed as a nurse examining her dolly on the inside. Then I added a quote about nurses and how they work from their hearts. I left room for my sweetheart to sign one side and one side for me to sign. I wasn't there when he gave it to her, but he told me that she cried and said that a handmade card was better than anything else we could have thanked her with.

She is clearly in the right profession and helped us through a difficult time.





Another swap Domino necklace and ATC

 I was in another swap on fantastic flat paper dolls we had to do a Domino necklace. I was late sending mine out to my partner, so I made an ATC for her and sent it along as well. I hope she likes them. The pictures do not do justice to them at all.






Witches Hat Altered Album

My best sister-friend and I created these witches hat albums and decorated them with all Halloween ephemera, stickers and images. It was a lot of fun. I am a Halloween freak.





Special Oversize ATC

I created this for my friend's birthday.


My first Domino book




This was made for a swap on Fantatic Flat Paper Dolls yahoo group. It was my first attempt. I used wooden dominoes, but have ordered some others that just have not arrived yet.
