Miss Mary Challenge -- Natural Beauty


As part of being a preferred blogger for CSN Stores, I am doing a product review in the next few weeks.  I'll be reviewing an office chair which I'm looking forward to trying out.  CSN has become quite known in blogland, so its no surprise that they has over 200 website stores offering just about everything you need.  But did you know they even have headboards as part of their arsenal of products?  

Well, stay tuned for my review and see how their office chairs are, perhaps you need one too.  


Mary Green of Green Paper is hosting the Miss Mary Challenge for which she provided 3 delightful images to be used in the creations.  So, I decided to join in and I'm offering this as my entry.


 Tin bucket which I painted pink first and collaged all around. Front side.


Back side.  I added a rub on border at top and a piece of lace upcycled from a wedding gown.



Here's one of the other images given for the challenge with a rub on I used with a memories quote, memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, and the things you never want to lose.



Another rub on with C'est La Vie and a paper rose



Glitter for the dress and metal bling for the waist.  The metal butterfly is decorating the stamp which I cut in 2, another of the images given by Mary.  Both metal beads are from an upcycled bracelet.




Pink rhinestones, more upcycled bracelet beads for the handle applied with thin wire



Lots of pics, thanks for indulging me.  Now, go to Mary's blog, Green Paper and check all of the entries so far.  I've seen some exceptional pieces.  There's a prize.   Wish me luck!


Have a wonderful day,

New Work and a Spring Giveaway

Here are some mini composition books where I altered the covers.  Below those is a another notebook and altered compact discs wall hangings.




This altered CD has a bottle cap which I had never used before.  The background has a glue crackle technique as shown here. I'm happy with how it turned out.

This altered CD started with a fabric pattern glued down in a haphazard way, therefore the crunched look.  Love the look.




CSN Stores has lots of options for shopping from toys to kids bedding, to items for the chef, to home decor.  Here are some awesome and unique items I'm looking at:
CSN Stores contacted me to sponsor a giveaway from one of their stores right here on my blog with a $60 shopping spree at AllModern.com
