What a week… I was off work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last week, and had my wonderful granddaughter the entire time. We went shopping everyday, ate out every meal, and stayed up late each night watching movies. We really had a lot of fun, that’s for sure. But, while she was here, I did not do any stamping, so once again I’m making up for lost time.
My altered project today took me two days to make, but worth every minute. If I had to chose between making cards, scrapbooking or altered projects, altered items would win hands down. I made my flowers by cutting thin chipboard, then patterned cardstock with Spellbinders Wizard, and glued them together. With a pen, I doodled around the edges. Although all of the pages look different, they were all made the same way, with the same products. I just changed the colors and images on each page. The chipboard was painted with acrylic pant, then covered with Glossy Accents, and sprinkled with glitter.
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday, and thanks for visiting.
Linda ;)
