Sometimes we all get into the mood to create something simple and quick yet beautiful isnt it!
Altering something is often such a quick yet rewarding craft!
I had these paper weights with some drug company's names on them and though I didnt like how they looked, they were too good to throw away so I decided to try alter them!

I sprayed some glimmer mist[from
Imaginations] on quilled flowers to match my glittery flower-This stuff really shimmers on the quilling

Added some glossy accents on the glittery leaves.Since this was a paper weight I didnt want the glitter to keep coming off so the glossy accents gave the needed protective coating and the added dimension on my altered project

Sometimes even if hours is spent on a card or project the only reaction I get at home is a "ummm!"
Well these paper weights surprisingly received a lot of oohs and wows from all at home ! I guess what appeals to us as crafters are techniques and complicated stuff while to a non crafter the overall beauty appeals! What do you say friends?
