Altered chocolate box and frame

Hiya ladies , I hope you are all keeping well x Here is a few of my projects I have been working on this past week x It was my Mams' birthday and I made her something myself rather than buying something and she absolutely loved it . Anyway here are the projects I worked on thanks so much for stopping by and if you leave a comment as always they are much appreciated and I always reply to them Here is the frame I made for my Mam I used 8x8 papermania papers , made my own leather TH tattered flowers , added some vintage buttons to the centres . The frames are my own too as are the banners .
Next thing i did was an altered box for my granddaughter Emilys' soothers/doddies from when she was a baby ( well she is all of 3 now !) I started off with an empty chocolate box which had a hindged lid so i went with a shadow box I first of all applied a pink paint then did a crackle effect with cram paint and pva when this was dry i applied some brushed corduroy distress inks all over i added some distresssed lace and beading to the frame i added some butterfiles from Gers little snippets some stick pins i made myself and a gorgeous handmade flower i got the tutorial here from fiona I love how it turned out and i will post a photo later when it is filled with dodies x
thanks so much for stopping by have a lovely weekend and happy crafting xmaggiex

altered mirror frame

hi all , here is an altered mirror frame i altered the other week . it is an ikea mirror and i didn't bother to remove the mirror as it was so cheap to start with but secondly it had masses of glue at the back and then i would have had to replace the mirror with some sort of backing ? no no no too much work for me so i just covered the mirror with some cardboard and set to work it is covered in paper with modge podge and distressed first with distress ink in brushed cordoury and top coat of modge podge tehn the fun ... lots of little snippets
