I'm not a hoarder, or not anymore anyway. I have to admit though, my hubby often says "why are you keeping that stuff?" Well here's why... so I can alter it and make it into something beautiful and personal. So it's lucky I kept an old perfume box, as this week's challenge at Cupcake Craft Challenges is to do just that... ALTER IT! I have to admit, when I saw this challenge that my talented DT buddy Denise had chosen, I wasn't sure what I'd do... until I remembered the little box I'd kept... so after I'd added the pretty Melissa Frances paper (from A Scrap Affair Online Store), some pretty flowers (from Wild Orchid Crafts), lovely sentiment stamp (Paper Make Up Stamps), Crackle Glaze and a few pearls & a charm the box was transformed! I'd like to give it to my friend, but I haven't figured out what to put in it yet? Any ideas?
Here's a photo of the back, showing some doodles I did with liquid pearls...
And the top of the box, where I added glitter to the flowers...
And finally the box in it's original state...
This week our sponsor is Pink Gem Designs who are offering 4 Digi Stamps to the lucky winner! Also at the Cupcake blog you'll find some great examples of how my other DT buddies have ALTERED IT, as well as this month's sponsors (Crafts U Love, Mo's Digital Pencil and Sew Sweet)!
Ok that's it from me for today, and if you really want to be challenged then start altering! Thanks for popping by!
