Good morning!
Our challenge for this week at
is
"Anything But A Card"!

Our sponsors for this challenge are:


Polkadoodles


Prize: $15 Gift Certificate



Prize: 1 digital image

So, I'm mostly a card maker, but as of recent
have been trying to do some other types
of paper crafts! And, I'm rather enjoying it!
My DT project  for this challenge is an altered letter

By taking some DP, decoupage medium, an image.
 a few die cuts and some enamel dots,
this is what I ended up with!

What about you?

Cute As A Button Inspiration


Hey all!
It's my day to share an inspiration project at

I chose to do an altered wooden letter projecting



I started with a 9 1/2 inch wooden letter
and printed the digi.



I chose a cute printed paper I thought would work well.
I turned letter face down on the backside of the paper and traced
and then cut out.
I used acrylic paint to cover the backside and edges of the letter.
Once this was dry I applied the cut out paper to the front
of the letter with decoupage medium. The next step was
to use the medium as a sealer over the paper.
While this dried I fussy cut the image which was colored
to match the paper.

Next I decided where to place the image and a banner

I put together with die cuts, glittered sticker letters
and baker's twine.

Once these pieces were adhered I punched and layered some flowers
and pulled out some buttons.
Once I had everything placed and attached I decided
to add some die cut leaves as the last touch.




I think this would make such a cute piece of nursery decor and hope that 
perhaps, I've inspired you to try a project like this.

Be sure to check out this image and all the other products available at 

Also, join in our monthly "Anything Goes" challenge, if you haven't already at

And we always love to see your projects using

Happy Crafting!
