I made this little treat box for Inking It Up Crazy's challenge to alter a random item and make it something special. I took an old box and freshened it up by adding some Halloween paper, ribbon and a CTMH Dracula stamp on an inverted circle Spellbinder die.

Vintage Home Collage
I was inspired by Amanda Jones over at The Studio to make this collage. I used 7 Gypsies Orchestra paper and rubbed some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen over it. I made my own flower and used a crochet flower made by my friend Mary--with a little of the distres ink rubbed on it to make it look a little older. The birds are from a lovely Cosmo Cricket paper pack--looks very vintage I thought. The buttons ARE vintage, and I thought they all had something unique to offer to this collage! I don't know if this will go in a frame or what yet, but I thought it turned out ok. I thought it would be good for Brenda's challenge for fall colors over at Sketches 4 All!

Altered Egg
I made this for a ScrapFit challenge! I used Jillibean Soup patterned paper (three different sheets but six patterns). I had to go to St. Louis--two hours away from my house--to Archivers to get it, but it was worth it!!! :-) I really like the quality and design of Jillibean Soup's papers!
I hope you enjoy my little project!
