Sorry bad blogger here


Actually have been quite busy and have had no time to plan any projects to do as tutorials. But I thought I would show you some projects I made for Kristy at DragonflyScrapbooks
to use as displays to show off some of her new products, all these products are available at her website.
This floral bouquet was made using Basic Greys "Capella" PP, ribbon doilies, die cut stickers, Kaiser rhinestones and pearls & an aluminium beer stubby.


Close up of vase. I cut strips of PP, then cut into those strips but not all the way through so I could mold them over the curves of the vase. I used the doily ribbons to accent some of the joins. Once finished I coated it in mod podge.

This flower was made with the largest flower from the die cut sticker pack that I mounted onto a piece of PP and then layered it with a variety of punched flowers. I inked the edges and curved the flower by pressing it in the middle in the palm of my hand. The centre is a Kaiser pearl.
All flowers were mounted on floral wire by putting the wire between the layers of petals.




Post cards From New Zealand - Kaiser framed album, Ruby Rock it "the Summer house" PP, alphas, trims, bitty buttons, unknown ribbons scraps and chipboard tags.



Kaiser frames using Memento "Petite Princess" & "Impish Girl" PP. WOW chipboard shapes (trees), Tattered angels Glimmer mist, Ruby Rock it "The Summer house" alphas (sanded back and covered in glimmer mist), BG Cappella ribbon doileys, Kaiser flowers, kindy glitz.

Altered Love Tins




The first item I ever altered was a tin. My love of altering all things came from this.

Today I want to share with you how easy it is to alter tins with the instructions on how to make the pictured "Love" tin. Of course you can make your anyway you want and below I have shown you pics of various tins I have altered over the years. I have included instructions on how to measure and alter tins of any size or shape.

If you would like to try altering a tin here are the instructions.

Papers & embellishmetns are available at Dragonfly Scrapbooks






These 3 tins were featured in The Handmade magazine August 2007. The tall tin is an Illy coffee tin, the B&W is a Harris coffee tin and the front one is simply a biscuit tin.

Each of these tins are purchased tins.



More Biscuit tins.




Illy coffee tins. These are my favourite tins to cover. Check out you local area for a cafe that uses Illy Coffee and politley ask them what they do with there tins once they have emptied them.
