Graphic 45 altered Wine or Liquor bottle

This is a bottle of spirits I am giving to my friend Patti. She and the "Captain" are close friends. I wanted to present it to her in something other than some cheesy bag. So instead, I covered the bottle with Christmas Past or Emporium-- can't remember, and viola. Maybe she can use it as a candle holder afterwards.

Altered Graphic 45 paper bags

I made anout 25 or so of these paper bags decorated filled with bags of Lindt truffles for co workers/friends. It was relatively quick, inexpensive, and I think they turned out cute.

Graphic 45 Botanicabella sewing box gift set for a friend

I bought an unfinished sewing box at Joann's and painted, antiqued, and mod podged Graphic 45's Botanicabella papers to the box as well as inside of the box. I also made a mini, a notepad, and a couple cards to coordinate with the box. I then filled it with flowers from my stash, copic markers, and various other goodies for my friend Patti's belated bday present.

I hope you enjoy, love to hear comments...

G45 Le' Romantique altered trunk, purse, stick pin set

Ok-- I can't say who I made this for just yet-- but this set is heading to the lucky gal tomorrow. I altered another wooden trunk. This time I used G45 Le Romantique papers and also made some stick pins and a purse from the Forever Young cart.

Note-- my stick pins are Looooong-- 3 inches. I was gonna go ahead and cut them shorted. But I thought I'd leave a note for __________ and let her know that I left them long thinking she may want long and shorter lengths. She can always cute them to adapt to her liking..

FINISHED GRAPHIC 45 DOMESTIC GODESS ALTERED TRUNK

Ok I am soooo pleased with the way this turned out. First I painted it a mustard yellow and antiqued it to give it an natural aged look. I covered it with G45 Domestic Goddess papers and mod podge to seal everything. I then used Prima crystals, various flower, paper, fabric, metal, etc.

I plan on keeping this for myself as it fits my craft room decor to a "T"!

PS-- you will have to scroll down to see more pics.. I'm not that good at getting everything in the correct order.. but you can get the gist of it.

I would love any feedback or comments you may have. Thanks for looking.

Sneak Peek of a project I'm working on...

I never make myself something. I've been hoarding the Domestic Goddess paper I have mainly because I'm selfish and I didn't want to share it with anyone. I love it too much! Anyways, I bought an unfinished wood trunk from Hobby Lobby and I've been working on altering it. I love how it is progressing. More details and pics when I'm finished.
