Altered Tray

I recently joined a fun website (http://www.spottedcanary.com/) & was inspired to finally alter a tray that I received as a client gift (it had fun stuff in it....don't think my client was cheap & just gave me a crappy tray). I used Prove Craft holiday paper & used some ribbon that I couldn't throw away (it was on one of my Christmas presents last year & I knew I could reuse....how very green of me). I don't use mod podge very often, so I made a couple of mistakes. All in all, I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Here's the before shot:

And after:

My first altered frap bottle

ok, so I've been seeing all these great frappuchino bottles & felt inspired to try it out. My husband was my guina pig. Not too bad for my first try although I did figure out some things NOT to do for next time. Try, try again....I say! :)

I used a bunch of quickutz hearts on the bottle

Here was his Vanentine's Day card & some more fun candy that I knew he'd like. I used my quickutz shapes for the candy bag....I really need to get a scalloped punch bad, but not until the economy turns things around for us & my husband can get his job back. Darn construction industry. Perhaps when President Obama comes to Phoenix on Wednesday something good will happen. :)
