ALTERED COASTERS

HERE ARE THE FIRST ALTERED COASTERS I MADE FOR A SWAP. A WONDERFUL LADY, EVELYN, SENT ME THESE COASTERS FOR HER SWAP AND I HOPE I DID THEM OKAY! FIRST I CHOOSE THE PAPER, THEN I USED AN OLD SU BACKGROUND STAMP, STAMPED IT WITH VERSAMARK AND EMBOSSED IT WITH GOLD EMBOSSING POWDER. I THEN GLUED THE PAPER WITH MOD PODGE MATT FINISH, ADDED SOME EPHEMERA PHOTOS, ADDED SOME GOLD GLITTER STARS, AND COVERED WITH ANOTHER 2 LAYERS OF MOD PODGE. I WOULD EMBELLISH THEM FURTHER, BUT THEY ARE TO BE USED AS REAL COASTER AND NOT PAGE EMBELLISHMENTS, SO I COULDN'T DANGLE ANYTHING OFF THEM.

THANKS TO EVELYN FOR THE CHANCE TO MAKE MY FIRST COASTERS! IT WAS FUN!

ENJOY,

HALLOWEEN HIDDEN JOURNAL BOXES

THESE ARE SOME HIDDEN JOURNAL BOXES I MADE FOR A SWAP I AM IN. YOU REALLY CANT SEE THE DETAILS.. BUT THE OUTSIDE I EMBOSSED WITH THE CUTTLEBUG SPIDER WEB FOLDER... ADD SOME RIBBON... CUT OUT A SPIDER WITH ANOTHER CUTTLEBUG DIE... ADDED WHITE PAPER INSIDE... PUT A STICKER ON TOP OF THE WHITE PAPER... STAMPED A JOURNAL TAG, CUT IT OUT... AND ADDED A HALLOWEEN BRAD TO HOLD THE TAG... (THE TAG MOVES SIDE TO SIDE) SO YOU CAN JOURNAL ON THE TAG AND ADD A PICTURE ON THE WHITE BOX, OR JOURNAL ON BOTH... THE SKY'S THE LIMIT :)

ENJOY,
CHERI
