Altered Baby wipe Container – lots of pics!
Dorthy continues to be nervous about the impact Irene will have on my family, so far we are doing well. The wind has picked up and the rain is falling hard. She called me this afternoon while I was napping and left the “Loretta its jus’ your mom, I’ll catch you soon”. Baby Loretta is happy.
On that note, yes I will always struggle with the fact she neglected my care while an infant, but I’ve now balanced it with the fact she was just a young girl and not able to really know better.
We’ve lost power a couple of times, so everyone in this house (except the puppies as they don’t have opposable thumbs) has a flashlight in a pocket. Candles are at the ready and the generator is filled with gas and ready to go.
Why alter a baby wipe container, well — I needed a mojo fix. I had this plain and ordinary container for the wipes. I use them every day to clean stamps, hands and even puppy faces.
I started my quest with my vast paper stash, did some quick measuring and tracing and went for it from there. I used I am roses and Wild orchid craft flowers for most of the top. The paper is from Paper Trey ink.
The silver threads are DMC floss and every thing was distressed slightly.
Next time I do one, I’m picking wipes that have a flat top without a middle opening, it is difficult to easy the paper around that oval curve.
Stamp happy, stay safe, keep your family near and the Lord even closer.
