Recycled!

Good morning (just!) everyone!

Hope you are having a great weekend.  I have to be really quick today, haven't got started at all and its nearly midday!!  

I have done an altered item today. I bought an old letter rack from Oxfam the other day which I thought would be great to decorate.  Here is the item before I started:

And here are a few pictures of the finished result!






I really had fun doing this and I should really make time to do more of this sort of thing.  My cupboard is full of stuff waiting to be altered! 

So, I painted up with my eco-friendly paint in white and then covered with MME paper - Alphabet Soup (which I love!) and bought from Quixotic Paperie.  I inked up the edges with my chalk pad. For my images I used the very cute Tiddly Wings from Pollycraft, I used "Bunches" and "Heart".  I then used my gorgeous new felt from Ladybug Crafts Ink (love the orange!) which you can get here.  (DON'T FORGET THE SALE OVER AT LADYBUG CRAFTS WHICH ENDS TOMORROW - HURRY!!)  I then made the flowers and grass with my die-namics dies which I bought from Dies to Die For here. 

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it! 

Sorry it's so quick today.  Have a great day and speak to you soon!

Love
Pami x

    Hey, I really like your blog. This is a beautiful transformation. In this way we can recycle our old things into something new & then use it. That’s a great idea.
