"Inner Secrets"

Good Morning Everyone! It is the 3rd Tuesday of the month and that means a NEW challenge over at Beyond The Burtonesque Dolls! And since it is the 3rd Tuesday it is the "Alter An Item Challenge"! I bet you are wondering what we want you to alter? Well it is "ANYTHING GOES"! How cool is that? As you can see I have decided to alter one of my Art Journals! This is the first time that I have done this and I can see a few things that I need to work on next time! (Don't you always know these things either as you have just adhered something or after the whole process is done, something pops out at you that you "should have done differently"!?!) You will have until Saturday, May 27, 2012 to link up you altered items! Be sure to stop over to the Beyond The Burtonesque Dolls to see all of the other DT creations!

"Just For You"

Good Morning Everyone! Today is Tuesday and that means a NEW challenge over at Beyond The Burtonesque Dolls and since it is the second challenge of the month... we need to alter something! Yay... As I have told all of you before, I am new to the "Altering World", so I am very excited about this challenge! Hmmm... Guess I should tell you what we are altering, huh? The theme of the challenge is "Pandora's Box"! Yep... you guessed it, we need to alter a box or create a box from scratch! Well I actually altered a cool box that Michael brought home for me! We have a graduation party to go to this summer and I know you are wondering "What in the world was she thinking... altering the box to look like this?" Well the graduate is totally into the Dark Gothic Style, so I thought this would be perfect for her! Her favorite colors are green and orange, so that is the reasoning behind the color combo! Sssshhhh... but we are planning to fill it full of scrapbooking goodies for her, as she LOVES to scrapbook! I think it should make an awesome gift all the way around! You MUST hop on over to the BTBD Challenge Blog and check out all of the other DT creations! You will have until April 29, 2012 to get your creation linked up! Okay, I will stop jabbering and let you take a peek at all of the sides!
