Altered Project

Welcome!

The project today is one I've been working on for a while now. I had to order some pieces, and then they arrived right before I had to leave. 

Oh goodness...I didn't tell you....we have another grandchild! A little girl named Myah! She's just the most adorable little thing, and SO beautiful!! So that's where we've been lately...way up north in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Talk about a scary drive both ways...but we made it! 

Since then I've been working amidst lots of company trying to get it finished so I could show you! Here it is!

What's it made of? Matchboxes! Dollar Store match boxes. I love a good deal! =D

The hardest part? Getting the drawer pulls lined up!!! Ugh!

This was not my original idea. Lucky you too...because I have a link for you to the original artist who posted a video tutorial if you'd like to make your own. Yay!


While you're there, don't miss the talented Laura's 

There's some more company on the agenda and a Ridgeview card, but hopefully I can get a digi done in the next week.

Have a good one!

No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love has been brought to full expression through us. 1 John 4:12 NLT

Blessings!
