I am participating in an online swap and we were to make an altered mini composition book.
It is a simple enough concept for the average human. Let’s face it I am not average. I either succeed greatly or fail miserably. Either way there is victory!

The small stamps are from Craftin Desert Divas. These stamps are just stinkin cute. I love the fact that the scale is smaller making them perfect for these smaller size projects. I’ve used some of these stamps to make magic slider cards. (Resource, Lawn Fawn).

I am sorry for the lack of posting as of late. Now that the Estate of my mother is in probate I can sit back and relax. Yeah, right. NOT! I was enjoying some much needed me time when my computer arrived. HARK there is hope, thankfully I can use my IPAD for almost everything and the new computer should be here tomorrow. Thank goodness.

Have a super week! Stamp Happy and be a blessing until next time!

Swap

I am participating in an online swap with creating the crafty life. You can check out their site by clicking here. We are to make two keys, two bottle caps and two altered buttons.

I found my buttons at Hobby Lobby in the sewing section. They are 2″ each. I used some small birds that were gifted to me along with flowers from my personal collection. In the small envelope is a surprise for the folks who are participating as well.

The buttons are secured to the top of the box with light tack glue dots. The small box is from Sizzix. I cut the box from medium weight chipboard as well as from different patterned papers from my stash. I also used lace and ribbon to add the finishing touches.

I hope you will give projects like these a try. Stamp Happy and be a blessing. Until next time………
