Altered Set of Drawers

Hello friends & welcome to my last post of 2014.

Today it is another altered project I made for a very dear friend, I met after 15 years!

For this decoupage chest of drawers I have used my favorite Java green papers designed by Divya. You can see some other projects using these papers here & here.

The edges of the drawer unit & the MDF corner were colored with a red Giotto marker. The corner is also heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

The roses are handmade (spellbinders - create a rose die).

Each drawer also has a faux knob..................the cracked glass effect is the result of clear UTEE!

Here is a side view of the box-

Altered Book Box

Welcome back friends!

Another altered project today - a book box, the first one I made.

When I selected the DCWV Mariposa pattern paper for this box I was totally lost with regards to the embellishments that will go along with this!!!But I challenged myself! And the result............I think is totally adorable!

To highlight the chipboard laser cut from Itsy Bitsy I used white UTEE over it. This also added some dimension to make it stand out amongst the flowers. Used a large vintage key along with some dangling charms as a faux knob.

This is the spine of the book - colored the ornate chipboard letter with marker & embossed using clear EP.

A Scrapbook for Teachers

Hello All!!

We all have indelible memories of our school days & of course our teachers! I know many of you are already nostalgic & into flashback...............thinking of your school days!!!

This is a very special year for my elder daughter as she graduates from Grade X & will be leaving her school. As a parting gift to the teachers she wanted me to compile a book of memoirs on behalf of all the graduating students. We both planned & discussed..........the only input from her time & again - mama please make sure it is simple with minimum embellishments & girly colors. Little did I realize the massive task it would be, coordinating with 60+ children at a time when they were meeting only for a few hours in school during their pre boards! This was also my first at making such an elaborate project.

Finally this is what it resulted in -

All the pages & inserts were bound with the chip board cover by the hidden hinge system. The year 2014 is handwritten with a embossing pen over which I have poured melted UTEE to get the faux glass look.
