This little book is made from brown money envelopes & luggage tags. The tags fit perfectly inside the envelopes which have been stamped with Versamagic inks.

Altered tin
The tin contained a well known face cream in its former life! I painted it with several coats of black acrylic paint , stamped & heat embossed round the edges of the lid then rubbed over with silver wax. The embellishment in the centre is made from Das clay which has been stamped into , painted with back acrylic paint , rubbed over the raised pattern with Versamark & heat embossed with silver then rubbed with wax which gives it a sort of distressed silver look.

collage on canvas - oriental
The background & image on this canvas is from the Oriental Dreams cd by Joanna Sheen. The main image has been torn, edged with gold Brilliance ink & highlighted with 3D gloss finish, the edges of the canvas daubed with glue stick and heat embossed with oriental red powder to give a distressed effect. The "coin" is made with utee & a stamp then attached to some raffia.
Photo is a bit fuzzy, sorry!

Altered match boxes
Its a wrap!
Made this just for fun, using an A4 sheet of handmade paper, folded the long sides in about 7cm glueing them down at the ends then the one end corners to middle to make the flap. Added some braid & a button, made a small slit to tuck the flap in & voila! it is done! Add little treasures, perhaps from a day out or just some favourite bits like I have.

Tags & tiles
I have been playing with the melt pot again - definately not as easy as it looks! More practice required! I find the clear utee goes a bit yellow if it is reheated for one thing and boy doesn't the utee set quick once it is out of the pot!! Anyway made the tags for a swap on Craft Swap Forum, the first one melting platinum & inter blue utee then adding gems and stamping into it with the butterfly stamp. Middle one has an image dipped in clear utee & the last just the edges dipped to give a "frame". The squares at the bottom of the picture are little tiles made in a silicone ice cube tray - I quite like those!

Made this scrapbook page for the Map Challenge on Crafting Corner, the theme being Christmas.The photos are of my youngest gransons who are both 4yrs old (cousins)They dont get together that often but had a great time on Christmas Eve as you can see!
The strips of paper are from a Anna Griffin kit along with most of the embellishments. The "stitching" is done with gel pens.
