ANOTHER Altered Letter "A"

Hello everyone! 

I just finished up an altered wooden letter for my friend Angela. 

I decided to do a little stitching on the paper. 

And NO, I wasn't trying to make it straight.

I never would've attempted to sew on paper if I wanted it straight.

I'm not a sewer by any means & am still getting used to my "Pixie" sewing machine. Lol!

Here it is!

The paper I used to cover the letter is from My Mind's Eye "Oooh La La"- Over the Top (discontinued)

All the yellow flowers are I am Roses, and the white flowres & cream rosebud are from Wild Orchid crafts.

 I sprayed them all with Perfect Pearls mist in Perfect Pearl.

The silver filigree corner is from Wild Orchid Crafts & the bling is Recollections.

I made a cute little bow out of muslin for an extra touch. ;)

Let me know what you think!

Secret Keepsake Box

I have been DYING to make one of these for the longest time!

I saw a few on Youtube from some talented ladies (Links at the bottom of the post) so I decided to make one for myself!

I will make a video eventually, but here's some pictures in the meantime:

I used papers from a few different collections. 

I mainly used A Ladies' Diary by Graphic 45, but also used Prima Almanac (stamps on front) and Nature Garden (inside liner for bottom)

The cream trim & black lace inside is from Creating is Fun.

{SALE!! 25% off all orders with code: summer25}

All the metal embellishments are Tim Holtz. My current favorite is the wing! I think I've used it on all of my projects ever since I got the pack. Lol!

All the flowers (aside from the big newsprint one, Prima) are from I am Roses.
The dress form stamp is from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found "Blush" set

I loved making this!! Might do another one in the near future.

Here's links to the Youtube vids that inspired me!

Time flies! {An altered letter}

Geez, it's been a while since I blogged! 

I have been working on projects. Too many.

I have about 3 started, but unfinished.

I have some pictures to share of an altered letter I made for a friend.

And a video!!

I used a lit of Tim Holtz & a lot of I am Roses.

My two favorites.
I kinda went a little crazy with my perfect pearls mist, but that's okay.
Who doesn't love a little (or a lot) of glitter?

Enjoy!

I had a lot of fun making this. :)

My friend liked it, so that's what counts!

Here's a video going over what I did 

{Sorry for the glare!}

I"m super excited for my next project that I'm sharing.. so keep an eye out for it!
