MY CHA WISHLIST

Well... I don't have a very large wish list (thank goodness for my pockets). Anyone wanna buy me something? hehehe. I can make stuff for you guys in return? hehe. Naahhh I'm kidding. I can buy them when they hit the stores locally (hopeflly)... Just hope that they are not outta stock the moment they arrive (it happened with prima and webster's!) I don't expect anyone to send me goodies, especially not since postage cost more than the price of the items. But if anyone do... I will honour my word! I'll send a 12x12, or mini, or altered something back?!

anyway here goes!

G45 Magic of Oz Bottle Cap Swap on The Scrapbeach, with a Double Slider to go!

Here's the set of 3 bottle caps I made for a swap on The Scrapbeach.


Wanted to have a cooler presentation than the usual standard tag, so I made these double slider tags instead. Made a video to better show the double slider tag.

I must say that I am mighty proud of myself! Isn't it neat!?!? Just pull one of the tag and the other slides out simultaneously!



The bottle caps are on glue dots, so you can just peel them right off, leaving the top tag intact. And the bottom tag has this cute illustration by Skittie Young with space for journalling. Can recycle use them on a mini album page.

Decorated the scarecrow with lace, Dorothy with a pop up of her per dog and some blings and the lion with a blue bow. Also matted the image with the same blue checkered fabric as Dorothy's outfit.

Also, check out the illustration on the bottom tag by Skottie Young! Cute much!?! Finds his style familiar? He is a graphic novel artist that illustrates for Marvel, on titles such as X-Mem, Spiderman and wonderful Wizard of Oz! And he got nominated for the Eisner Award recently!

Hope the ladies like it!

July Scrapbeach Vintage Charm Swap

My charms for the July swap on scrapbeach :) Graphic45 Curtain Call papers for the tag with a little prima cabbage rose and some lace. Oxidized chains, charms and feather for the dangle. A mostly black, white/cream creation. Hope the ladies like these!

Collection Altered Multi-Drawer Trinket Box

December Project! Altered a Multi-Drawer Box by Karen Foster.

Embellies were mostly just buttons by Graphic45, with a couple of metal embellies from Tim Holtz. Of cos, the little drawers require pattern paper to cover... October Afternoon papers were used here, but you could always use scraps! Budget eh? haha

See the border that looks like wood? Thought it's real?! Aha! Gotcha!

A technique that I learnt from Sharon. Rub the length of a candle down kraft cardstock. Remember not to hold the candle like a pencil and draw. Next, rub distress ink over the cardstock. I use Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink here. The candle wax will resist the ink and there you have it! Woodgrain!

Another method would be to paint the surface with acrylic paint using a dry brush (preferably a damaged brush that has dried paint on it). Then just run distress ink over it. The uneven surface created by the brush can mimick woodgrain too!

Have fun!
