Altered Drawer Unit


 Hello everyone and all my lovely followers 

I had the chance to craft all day yesterday and along with the bottle that I did, I also made this 


An altered drawer unit, with a little nest on the top and I cut open some of the eggs and popped some birds inside :)





Little pearls and beads on the middle drawer 



Added lots of leaves and flowers to the back and sides 


Here you can see the crackle effect, Im quite hooked on this decor paint 


This is what is was like 


I Can not quite make my mind up if I prefer card making or altering so I will continue to dabble in both


Challenges I would like to enter this into are 






Im off around blog land now to leave some comments for other crafters 

Have a good day everyone

Altered Bottle

Morning everyone, 

I have been busy crafting all morning today and have loved every minute of it - I was supposed to be tidying my craft room but I kind of got side tracked when I found a little bag of birds :) As some of you know I LOVE BIRDS, I can time waste just sitting watching them for hours. 

So I have been hording this bottle along with quite a few more but ssshhhh -

And here it is








I have used Lost and Found paper stack from My minds eye, along with lots of different flowers, beads, pearls, blings, ribbon, laces and the fabulous brooch that I also had been hoarding !! then I found the bag of little birds, and then I found the nests that I brought from the works years ago (see this is why i have started a haul page, I cant remember diddly squat )



Challenges I would like to enter this into are 









Whilst I have all the mess out still, I might just do another bottle, well dont want this one to be lonely do i :) 

Have a good day

A Cameo Card

Evening all

I am still trying to learn with the blogger thingy, does anyone know the answer to this question ?

If I leave a comment on blogger or google+ does it automatically do it to the other one ? or do you have to go to both and leave comments ?

Anyway, thats my little question for today - for those that asked about Mali ( my horsey) being moved, here is a little piccie of me hacking yesterday :)


and here is my effort for today 




I have used three different papers and layered them up, added the image, popped on some white flowers and then some caps, and added the letters. 

The challenges I would like to enter this into are 






Off to wander around blogger land now as I have not been able to today

Altered Bird House for sping challenges

Hello Bloggie Friends

I was playing with my blog to try and make it look more interesting for you !! HA HA that was a joke !! after trying to get the blog list thingy up, I gave up, i ended up with loads of them down the side of my blog and not a single blog to follow !! nothing !! nothing at all to follow !! ((gave up quickly)) 

So I decided to craft as I can really cock that up can I ? or can I !! 

Any how, I brought this little birdie house along with MORE washie tapes today ((I think I am a bit of a hoarder of these, as I have never used a single inch of them )) so this is what it looked like 


this is now 





I painted it with blue acrylic paints and used the crackle paints again, added some flowers, beads and silver thingys and a little birdie. 

I have seen lots of challenges around with the theme of Spring, so with that in mind, I would like to enter this into the following challenges

And thats me done for today, I will pop around the new crafty friends blogs later this evening, thank you to everyone who has supported me, Im sorry Im such a pain in the bum, but I will get and stop asking questions ((you hope))
