North Pole Assemblage - Altered Eclectic

I am excited I have been invited to join the design team at Altered Eclectic.  It is an Anything Goes challenge blog with very rules and lots of room for creativity. Your project must be a new and an altered piece .

I thought for this challenge I would do a Christmas themed assemblage since the season is coming up very  quickly.

The sleigh digital image is from Kenny K Downloads and the reindeer  are Tim Holtz  die cuts.  The sleigh is held out with a Wobble Spring.  I added 2 trees and the North Pole sign recycled  from a previous project.  I sprayed the trees with a gold glitter and added a snowflake die trim, bling and cotton batten for the snow to complete the project.

Fairy Christmas

Thank you for stopping by, this  is one of my projects for Not Just Cards anything goes challenge this week. I thought I would make a Kleenex box cover for Christmas.  I think it would look cute in the bathroom.  I used a digital stamp from Bugaboo one of our sponsors of the challenge, called Fairy Christmas. 

Once I figured out the dimensions of my box I constructed it and covered the box with some very pretty Designer Christmas paper.  I also used the paper on the back panel.  The image was coloured with a gelli pen, glitter and Copic Markers.  I used Tim Holtz's Holly dies for the holly and used glitter on the leaves and berries to give the project some Christmas sparkle. 

Hope you will join in our challenge. Have a creative day. 

Putting Up the Christmas Tree

I this is one of my projects I made for Not Just Cards this week.  The theme is anything goes and I made a post-it holder with a Christmas theme.

To make my Post It holder I purchased a dollar store plastic picture frame which I layed on its side to create my surface for the digital image, pen and the post it.   

The image I used to make my project is a cute image from Robyns Fetish called Putting up the Christmas tree. The mouse and the tree were coloured with Copic Markers and glitter. The image was place inside of the picture stand.  I then added a pen and a die cut to complete the holder. 

Thank you for stopping by. 

It is a Pink and Silver Christmas

I  am hosting a challenge at Fitztown this week and the theme is a Pink or Silver Christmas.  I have made this tag to go on a gift for a little girl in my life.   I think the image I used from Fitztown's winter collection is just adorable.  She is called Winter 10 and can be purchased here. 

I used a dark silver glitter paper that I cut out with a Christmas bell diecut and cut my image out with a smaller one from the set. I trimmed the large diecut with pink paper. 

The image was coloured with Copic Markers and a glitter pen.  Once I completed layering the diecuts I added a paper snowflake, snowflake button, pearl, ribbon and a bow.   I think this will look never nice on my little gift. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope your day is full of creativity.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day. 

Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent Challenge

It is an anything goes with re-cycling challenge this week at  Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent Challenges

I was excited to use the material girl's images from CS Designs for the Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent Challenges. For this assemblage I used this wooden box I found at a garage sale.   I had my husband cut some dividers for. 

I used three different CS Designs' material girl pattern papers to line the walls and floors of the assemblage.  The fabric on the wall behind the scissors is the same fabric in the pinkers. I added several of the yarn and button cards also from the material girl collection along with threads and buttons. 

The pinkers, sewing machine needles, tape and sewing machine bobbins I found at the local thrift store .  The whole package was $2.00 which turned out to be a bargain because I googled the  pattern number on the pinkers and they were made in 1930 and are worth at least $29.00 according to Ebay.

The Singer scissors, old spool, wool and needle were also from my stash of things I may use some day.  To complete the project I added the cute lace dress form from CS Designs. 

I loved making this project. Hope you will join us this week for the anything goes challenge at  Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent Challenge .
