Altered box

Just a quick pop in... busy...busy...busy...lol I am still alive and kicking :D Sorry still not been able to visit any of you.... tis the pits not having me own internet at the mo. Anyway just a little share... a box I altered with metal embossed with the cuttlebug script embossing folder and lots of bits and pieces added from my stash.

All images are from Lisa's Altered Art.

Hope to be back again soon.

Artygirlz challenge-Home Inspiration

I decided to enter my first challenge since my return to blogland with the Artygirlz. This week the prompt is to take inspiration from something in your home... using shape, colour, etc from your item and create a project based on it.
So my altered tissue box is based on the colours of my lickle fluffy teddy bear... proper softy aren't I ...lol
The fab papers are from the new Papermania collections and I have been dying to use them because they are just lush... and kind to the pocket too....just what I need when I can't stop putting my fingers in my purse and parting with my pennies. I just get so totally get naughty when faced with shelves of crafty goodies and I know I'm not the only one...eh girls ;-)

I decided I wanted to use a big flower so made this one rather than use the silky ones that I have been drawn to lately... much more satisfying to put that extra bit of effort into what I'm making making something sometimes.

Now isn't this little owl the most adorable little lady... I just had to use her... I cut her from one of the Papermania papers a few times so that I could decoupage her wings :) So not only was I inspired to create something from an item in the home.... I also acquired another pretty addition to decorate it and drool over.

Thanks Artygirlz :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day
