Hi ladies,
here I show you my bedside lamp, it´s okay but a bit boring.


Then I colored Beas, scanned, printed on transparent paper and laminated.



And now I find the lamp much more friendly

Beautiful evening!

Love this stamp so much, I cant stop using her!
So, yet again I have been altering. This is a wall plaque that I bought last year from my local garden centre. Found it in the bargain bin for damaged items. There was a small photo frame attached that had broken away.


I haven't had to add any backing paper to the " W " as this was nice enough. Did go around the edge with ink to give a distressed look. Been as been printed rather large as the " W " was damaged a little underneath. Bea measures 5 1/4 inches. The " W " its self measures 8 inches.

Something about the flowers that I'm not entirely happy with.  Again there had to be a large spray of flowers cus of damage.
Added a sentiment which says " Friends are like Flowers "

Bea's wand I made myself from a cocktail stick and star embellishment - added glitter and gems to finish off.
I have sprayed the whole item 4 times with Crystal Clear Acrylic Spray Coating as this seals and protects the project. So if it gets dusty etc, you can just wipe over with a feather duster.

"Something altered"
I had an ugly, old clock that I was going to throw away.
Made me a new one by cutting all parts of thick cardboard
This watch is adorned with a pattern paper from Riddersolm Design that I have distressed a little  at the edges.
The motif ofTeddy Bea is from the series Circular frames 002
The clock is decorated with many flowers from Prima.

I have altered this note book for Shaleise, she had bought a hard backed one and it was a little too plain, I found this corrugated board and thought it would work, I have used a soon to be released image (available next week) as this is both my girls all the time.


I have coloured my Teddy Bea with markers, prisma pencils and chalks, I have carefully cut her out and using foam pads I have stood her on the bottom of the book....


I have added lots of stardust and as I chopped of her earphone wires I used some button twine to replace it, I have used some die cut music notes cut from the same corrugated board....


I have added a die cut butterfly with some gems, and of course some Blooms, and 25mm Pen Roses, they have had the glitter treatment too, and a little heart with some stickers to spell out her name, I have added some seam binding and tied a bow at the top....

For the ‘Something Altered’ Challenge for 28th I have used some left over tiles from a bathroom job I ‘helped with’ a while back and made some coasters inspired by Collette’s mug from ages ago :)

Any hoo, I coloured in the 'ikle bears with Prisma pencils, scanned them and resized to print them out onto decal waterslide paper...




…then sprayed with clear acrylic spray paint to seal the images (smells just like nail varnish) so when immersed in water, the ink will not bleed. Soaked the transfers in water until the transparent film came away for the backing paper and careful dabbed them on to the tiles.

Also added some stamped hearts and then sealed again with the acrylic spray. On the back of the coasters, I added some sticky backed felt pads…Volia!!

I also have some other bits and bobs that I have ‘pimped’ for the following Friday post.
I hope you like my project :)

Hi all just a quickie this is my Altered something for Tuesday.
It's a MDF tissue box that i have painted with white Acrylic paint.
I have then used some Raspberry Road papers from the Oh so shabby set.
Coloured images with copics and promarkers.
Made a heart lace trim with a Martha Stewart punch.
Butterflies are from a Sheena stamp set that you use for paint fusion.
Flowers are from Wild orchid crafts.

and even Kathy from Team A wanted to join in



Believe it or not my sister-in-law called me this morning looking
for me to bring her a few cards and if I had something for
a baby shower!!!! LOL That is never my luck so I will
be taking this to New York for her cousin!!
