This is my DT project for this month

Rochelle's Christmas Trinket Box

I started off with a Black Cigar box and hubby sanded 

it back with the electrical sander for me...

 Then I primed the box with white gesso and used blue acrylic paint 

and painted about half an inch from the edges inside and 

out to make sure the edges of the gesso didn't show.

I lined both the interior and exterior of the box with patterned paper

over which I used the texture paste and "Art is" and stencilled on the lid

and the used the "Doily" Stencil around the sides.

Following this I was then able to apply the spray mist

to the stencilled surfaces in a colour to compliment the

silver embellishments and blue flowers I had chosen.

I then dressed the under side of the box with card prior

to fixing the lovely ornate feet.

The final touches were to place the Heart Frame

from my much loved Scrapmatts inside followed by

my hand made Stick Pin on the front to compliment and tie in

all the other embellishments and a

a length of diamanté trim and it was job done.

Here is My Entry for this Months Challenge!!

Kailey's Keepsake Box
This is a cigar box, for a Babies keepsake box, 
I made her sisters (Maddison) last year

To start with my lovely hubby gave the cigar box a bit of a rub down and fitted the feet, hinges and the catch.

When I got the cigar box back I stripped it of the parts so I could give it a wipe over and paint all the edges.

This view shows the ornate feet in place as well as the papers & lace used...

...And here how the inside was decorated.

In its completed state it was embellished with the name Kailey and selected colours to personalise the keepsake.

Everlasting Box of Flowers

Hello Crafty Friends and Followers,

Today I have 2 projects I have created to share with you all.

I was commissioned to create these 2 box of  Everlasting flowers by a lady, I had met through her sister... One is a get well card for her sister who had just been diagnosed with Cancer and the other was for her mums 80th Birthday... 

I really enjoyed making these for her as I felt I had a connect with this lovely lady, I also was asked to make 4 Easter gifts for her work friends up in the North West of Western Australia where she works as she is a FIFO worker...

But I will be back tomorrow to share them with you all...
