Some of my stuff....

LoopyLou · Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2008 11:51 pm Post subject: Some of my stuff....

I do a lot of papercrafting and stuff. Scrapbooking, parchment craft, the odd card and altering too, so I thought I'd show you some of my altered stuff. (a bit image heavy, sorry.)

The first 3 are altered cigar boxes. The orange one I use for myself, it's lined with velvet. The green one is a memory box to my late dad, who was a Coastguard with a clock fixed into it and the third one is one I made as a prize for somebody on my craft forum.

Then there are some little domino books I made. The doms are coloured with alcohol inks, stamped, heat embossed and then bound and finally an altered jigsaw. I covered the pieces in japanese paper, framed it and.....sold it. Very Happy

Hope you like.

Wot Tan said... whenever I try to make this sort of stuff it ends up with glue and fluff all over the place and it just never looks professional!
Those domino books are just wonderful Heart

wow - lovely stuff! The memory box is a beautiful idea.

I love those domino books - what were the dominoes made of? I have a few sets that rarely get used but I just can't bring myself to break up a complete set - maybe I should give them to the kids to play with - that'd lose a few!
