Since we had a totally open theme this time around for the annual abc_alterbookclub anniversary swap…I decided to use this photo of myself and my grandpa that always makes me giggle. Neither one of us looks to happy about the whole deal.
Here’s the original photo…
We both look so crabby. I did have a cute little dress though. *grin*
I really enjoy my tea. It’s a daily ritual for me…at least until the hot weather comes.
I also love books! I’m especially drawn to old books. I love the way they look and feel.
Some I would never alter in any way and others scream at me to make them my own with paint, paper, fabric and glue.
Hop on over to Kimmies blog to see what the other girls are doing today.
In the continuing effort to use what I have…I decided to make a new wrap to go around this candle tin.
I got the candle a few years ago after Christmas on clearance…super deep discount that I couldn’t pass up. Especially when I realized that the ugly Christmas paper would come right off.
Sweet!
I used watercolor paper as my base. The background color was achieved with distress inks, dress pattern tissue and found text.
I sifted through some of my new stash from a couple of swaps. I’m sure some of you may recognize some of your stuff. I love new fodder. It can be very inspiring.
This is going to be a gift…I hope the recipient likes it!
