When my friend Susan at (ilkasattic on my links) created little scenes on top of baby food jars, I had to try it. The rose covered top is an old canning jar. I filled them with my peanut butter balls or crafting goodies and gave them away for Christmas gifts. I spread glittered snow on the jar top, house and tree then sprinkled with "twinklets" for extra sparkle.
This paper mache box is my mom's birthday present. Since it's before Christmas, I decorated it for her Christmas home decor. Inside are these treasures to decorate her bedroom and a special Promise book. For the box, I used paper, acrylic paint, stamping, a high gloss spray for a finish. For the holly leaves, I found a jar of Twinklets Diamond Dust. It gives an extra sparkle for the holidays.
1914,1915, and 1916 postcards. I wanted to do more with my collection. Inspired by some clipart, I decided to display these great cards without altering them at all. Each card is slipped into a page protector so the cards are removable. On the front of each protector is a leaf sprayed with a glaze. Included are some hydrangea flowers and stamps also sprayed with glaze. In August I posted a 1909 postcard that I had altered. That one is my favorite.
