Altered Photo Frame

Hi  All

Today I have something different to show you I made a couple of weeks ago, it’s an alter box photo frame, it started out as a plain boring box and my fingers were itching to get it altered.

I painted it white, sanded, painted again, sanded and finally painted it for the last time (this is the boring bit lol) but it seals the paint into the wood this way. I then distress it with pink timmy ink and sealed it into the wood with a heat gun, this makes it bubble which I quiet like but you have to be careful not to burn the wood or your fingers.

I decorated the box with W/O  flowers, I also distressed the big pink flowers with the same ink to blend in, finishing with pearls, ribbon and a charm. 

This will fit an 8x8 card inside which can be decorated to the hilt, a scrap book page, min I might add or a picture of a loved one, I have not quiet decided yet but was thinking to give it to my mom with a decorated card inside, just for her.
I also am joining the linking party over at Passionately Artistic with this box, I have to say their creations are amazing and full of inspiration, I know I am going to learn a lot from these crafty gals who have also linked up too.

Candy with a difference and more candy.

Kellie over at Waffle Things Ink has a fun thing going at her place called My favourite things post each month, so for some fun she has decided to add a linky so we can all play along, so pop over and check it out, it’s so fun.

My favourite things this month are

Copic and Pro Markers, love them to bits and they go everywhere with me when I travel, thats why my suitcases weigh so much agggg.

My favourite Martha Stewart punches, these two I use a lot,.

My new snowflake dies, love them so much I want to touch them all the time, I know I am a sad person lol.

That’s all for today oh I did manage to get my Christmas card order filled, phew it was bit of rush as 10 cards in two days, the most I have crafted in a long time, she loved them and they are now on their way to the UK, I will be posting them here soon.

Thanks for popping in to see me I really appreciate your comments and I love to see you.
