Happy Easter.....

Just wanted to pop in to send 

Happy Easter 

wishes to all of you!

We haven't colored Easter eggs in our house for many years but today my daughter woke up and decided to have eggs for breakfast instead of the usual cereal.

So......

before cracking the first egg I broke out my Spectrum Noir markers and we started playing with our eggs.....

Jellybeans all over the table for a fun little bit of Easter decor! 

LOL

Altered bottle.....

Hi everyone!

I hope you all are having a great week!

Today I decided to combine two challenges.....

Sugar Creek Hollow's challenge - Altered State

&

Really Reasonable Ribbon's challenge - Ribbons & flowers

I just finished off a bottle of maple syrup the other day, cleaned the bottle and had it sitting on my desk so I started with that.

Here's my finished bottle.....

I started with a bit of tissue paper that I stamped with random stamps, 

then mod podged it onto the bottle.

From there I grabbed a label from Gecko Galz Vintage Labels collage set and mod podged it onto the front of the bottle.

I covered that with a bit of lace from my stash.

I added some trim (from Piece by Piece) to the top and bottom of the lace.

A fabric flower I made using the Tim Holtz tattered florals die and a Prima wooden leaf, that I colored with my peeled paint distress markers and sprayed with a little bit of green patina Perfect Pearls Mist, is tucked underneath.

On the top part of the lace, I added a chipboard button that I added a bit of stamped fabric to, 

and a couple of buttons from my stash.

The shimmery ribbon (Sheer Iridescent Copper) on top, for my bow, is from 

Really Reasonable Ribbon.

 I added a Prima wood bird on a branch, that I colored with

 brushed corduroy & tumbled glass distress markers.

And tucked underneath the bird is a piece of lace scrap that I had on my desk. 

Tea Time tag.....

Good morning!

The other day, 

when it was snowing outside,

I stayed in my warm scrappy room, creating.

One of the things I created was this tag.....

The background paper is one of 

Graphic45's 

Once upon a Springtime Collection.

I added a strip of Tim Holtz Tissue Tape to the side, 

then topped it with a little bit of modeling paste with a damask mask.

I distressed the edges and added some vintage photo distress ink.

A little vintage photo ink went on the masking as well.

Topped it all off with some perfect pearls mist to add some shimmer.

The piece of gauze was sprayed with perfect copper, Perfect Pearls Mist.

  

And while I was spraying I sprayed 

sunflower sparkle Perfect Pearls Mist on the 

Tattered Florals Flower I made with some cotton fabric and 

green patina PPMist on the lace that I cut for the leaves.

I added a little strip of sticky back lace ribbon under the flower and

 a red skeleton leaf under the (lace) leaves.

How cute is this teapot charm?

I found it at SaCrafters.

I added a Tim Holtz bauble and tied them both to the seam binding.

The tile is a Prima I've been hording. 

I don't know if you can read it, it says...

"this is the best part of my day".

What part of the day is better than tea time?

This last picture you can see the dress form, on top of the gauze, that I put the tile on. 

The dress form was taped to the outside of a pkg of goodies that I bought from Piece by Piece recently.

While on the tea time theme I thought I would share my last new tea cup & saucer I found on my last trip to the antique mall.....

The colors have more of a fall hue but that won't stop me from using it now!

LOL

Love the pattern!

Looks great with filled with some Irish Breakfast.....

Happy Tea Time!
