| Altered Box |
Hi friends I love to make utility items for my home and this is a broken acrylic box I dressed up to function as a catch all .
 |
| Handmade Paper Rose |
I made the rose in shades of pink and purple. The leaves were made nearly 10 yrs back!...hehe yes in this 2013 blogpost :
Leaf Tutorial |
Handmade Lace
|
The gorgeous lace you see is handmade! Yes...made at home using modelling paste,glue and a silicon mould.

| Leafy Border |
I am on a mission to use up paper these days and I had just a snippet of the striped green paper left after covering the sides of the box .So instead of saving it as scarp ...die cut leaves and used it to create a leafy border .
Supplies used: Dies : Leaf : Little Birdie, Marianne,Dee's Distinctively Berry Sprigs;Paper : Papericious,Dress my craft; Silicon mould : Crafters Corner
