Love Planet Earth Hanger

Well I'm on a roll now.  Over at Gingersnap Creations they have a challenge The good Earth GC49. I have been meaning to join in for some time and today it rained whoo hoo!  Not that I like rain but  I went to my little crafting space and created this instead of mowing the lawn and H*******k. Stamps used are from Creative Expressions a Travel plate and I have wanted to make a wall hanger for some time so here it is. 
I have been searching for over an hour!!! yes 1 hour to find the wires for the hanging loop I knew they were in my craft room somewhere buried under all the creative mess lol. Here is piccy I took in dispair and was going to post as this is only time I will have to join in. Don't you just love it when things get "lost" :-()
I also used Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Swirls Creative Expressions, Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powder, Flower was die cut Sissix from background made with distress inks UTEE is in the centre of flower and buttons. Label maker for labels Love Planet Earth.
Hope you like my creations comments would be most welcome.

Bye for now

SEASIDE TREASURES - ALTERED MATCHBOX


Alter It Monthly are a new challenge blog which I came across quite by chance (as you do).  I am a beginner at Altered Art and thought why not join in!!
So here is my very first post, my very first altered matchbox on my very new blog :)
I love to beachcomb and  I always come away with a pocket full of shells and bits and pieces, so I thought I would make a place to keep my Seaside Treasures.  Yes that is real sand including bits of seaweed inside the shell at the back which was in the bag with the shells.  Hope you like my efforts.
Looking forward to the next challenge "Tin Pan Ally".  I have my tin at the ready just need some inspiration
and off we go again.

Bye for now
