Not the NORMAL clothespin

I altered this clothespin for a Birthday gift for a good friend on the CBM. ....Crystal. ENJOY IT SWEETIE!!! I know her new scrap room will be blue and brown...so I made this to fit into her color scheme. I love how it turned out.  I hope she likes it as much. The ticket...I crinkled and then inked with  brushed corduroy and tattered rose distressed inks by TH.

I joined a Patriotic Pin Cushion Swap on the CMB. I sooo enjoyed altering something OTHER than a cup/saucer for this round. I also made some pretty pins for this pin cushion. I found a clear star trinket box at a thrift shop...what is more PERFECT for a Patriotic theme than a STAR?????!!!!!  The material has mini flags on it ...a RAK from Heaven...thank you Kathy! I used stitched grosgrain ribbon, buttons, and a flag from stash. I think it's really cute and symbolic! ENJOY Cindy...it's on the way.

Aged box

Here is a mini box I altered for a Friend on the CMB. I can't say exactly WHO just yet as it is for the Junebug Secret Sister swap. I know she follows my blog and don't want to ruin the surprise...:)  She love dark earthy tones and I thought it being vintage/antiqued ..it would work for her. I hope she enjoys it. I used Distressed inks in  carmel..hazelnut, latte and copper to give the box a worned aged look.Added the DP. I used a trim from Jo Ann's around the lid.  The top of the lid...the two chocolate brown flowers were from a swap ...THANK YOU THERESA S... I loved them! I handmade the two tiny cream roses from a vintage lace. I added the black prima pearls...a handmade stick pin and cream ribbon to make a bow.
