Altered Box

I like to use my sewing machine on the paper before I stick it down. 

I love how this turned out....it was originally a Stella McCartney perfume box ...
just right for my "steampunk" stuff.

I used Tim Holztz grunge board alphabet for the lettering, with lots of distress ink, the metal corners were by Creative Expressions, I stuck them on with Glossy Accents. The birdcage stamp is by Kaisercraft. I have also used a little Flitterglue with foil on the top left hand corner of the box. The faux lock on the front of the box is again Tim Holtz.

Card for Lily

Lovely little Lily was 1 in August 2012
This paper was from a PM Crafts stack, the pearl flourish is by Creative Expresssions
and the topper is from Lili of the Valley. The sentiment is Craftwork Cards.
I used my sewing machine to stitch around the layers before sticking down.

One for the fellas!

I struggle with card designs for the men so when I do something I like.....they all get one!! 

Mel's Birthday card 2012

My sister Mel's birthday card for 2012
I used a whole pack of Prima flowers on this card but she's worth it!!
I cut the card base with my cricut......I cut two scallop circles then scored and glued the back one on.
I stitched the paper straight on to the base card this time. Pearl flourishes from Creative Expressions.
