Weekly Challenge - Jan 23rd - 29th

This saying is in my head right now, so let's just roll with it...

"Something old, something new, something borrowed......"

SOMETHING BLUE!

Do something BLUE this week.

How easy is that?

Weekly Challenge - Jan 16th thru Jan 22nd

The Art of Altering

This week, notice an item around your house (a tin, a box, an empty toilet paper roll, etc.) and make it into something new and cute!

This adorable tea container (and card) was posted on splitcoaststampers.com by clownmom

Melanie's Altered Checkbook Cover

 

The J part of JeM has packed up all her supplies for the big move out of state, so she will be not participating in the challenges for quite some time...  But here is an altered item she had done in 2007.

This is made from a composition book.  I wanted something for the cousins to write in and send back and forth between each other when we moved out of state.  It has held up pretty good.

The note posted inside the book.  I love this idea.  Now the cousins are going to be living near each other again, so really no need for the book.  But I hope they still write in it.  Just to have something neat in the future to read.

WC - Jan 9th thru Jan 15th

This was the layout I chose.

Since I had another photo, I decided to do the same layout but flip it the other way.

The second layout I chose

This challenge was so fun, I decided to do two!

Added a little memory book for the inside



This is what it looked like before

These are the charms attached, since you can not see them that clearly.
