Altered Coaster

I was searching around for something  small to alter and found a coaster that had been sent through the post at Christmas by a charity. So I used my favourite Tim Holtz Papillion stamps and some designer paper to give it another look. 

I used  a couple of coats of IndigoBlu's Slap It On to seal it.  I really should make some more to complete a set.

A Farewell Gift

Volunteering at a local school has brought me into contact with a great team of staff and amazing children. Having worked in education for all of my adult life, I feel privileged to still be able to be involved in some way, even though I have been retired for some time.

One of the young teachers is moving on to pastures new and I decided to give her a notebook as a small gift.

I removed the covers from a shop bought notebook and covered them with K & Company papers. Out came my favourite Tim Holtz Papillion stamps to decorate. I finished the edge with Distress Inks then reassembled.

Another Altered Project.

I bought some plain mdf pencil pots from MDF Man when I attended the Hobbycrafts show in Glasgow in March.   As the  materials that I used in the previous post were still to hand I decided to make a matching item.

The inside has been painted with chalk paint. 

I'm on a roll!!!  What else can I alter?

A New Look

I can't resist popping into the local The Works shop when I am in town. More than often there is something that catches my eye that I can make crafty use of.  I bought a plain wooden box that I immediately thought that I could use as a base for an altered art project.

This is the end result.

I covered it with  K & Co patterned paper before using stamps from the Tim Holtz Papillion set.  I am besotted with these stamps at the moment.  I had to look and hard to lay my hands on these as they had been out of production for a while.
It has been varnished with decoupage gloss medium.
