9x9 January swap

This is my second attempt at a 9x9 swap & I'm pleased with the results.

Only rule was to use our received christmas cards!

Sophie on her trike!

Sophie on Christmas day!

Jigsaw

All I done with this is distressed the corners with ink, stamped an oriental image, then glimmer mist over the top.

Coasters

I made these this morning.

I used a plane blank coaster, with distress ink, stamped a medallion image in black distress ink, then used holigraphic & clear embossing powders & heated up.

The one on the left is holigraphic & the right is clear. I personally prefere the holigraphic one as it's better in the flesh.

Atc's

Made a few atc's the other night, using alcohol inks, stamped images, glimmer mists, altered jigsaw piece & so on!

These are up for swap if anyone is interested!

My note pad

Again, using the same style of all the other things I have altered (Can you see a patteren imerging here?!), I have covered a little note book in paper, disstressed it with sandpaper, inked it a bit, added chipboard letters, glossy accents etc etc, added 2 stamped images & hay presto!

I will use this for all my swaps I keep joining so I can keep track of myself next year!

Mountboard Swap

This is the first time I have played with mountboard. I really enjoyed doing it!

I covered all the board's in 3 different coloured paper, then added some embellishments & used distress inks around the edges.

I'm pleased with the end results!

Altered Ribbon Box

This was a gift from Hilda at our nov nec meet.
We were all given one to alter, bearing in mind I had no idea what to do & where to start, and no "altering" stuff to use, this is the end result!

Altered Diary.

This is my altered 2008 Diary!

Same as the pale!

Altered Metal Pale

This is metal pale I have altered, using scraps of paper, then distressed with inks.

The chip board letter have gloosy accents & glitter sprinkled onto them whilst wet!

This is an altered mini clipboard!

I used torn paper glued on, then lightly used fine sand paper, then used distress inks.

Then attached a small acrylic "friend" with brad & gold wire.
