Altered Washboard with Home Sweet Home

Hi all!!

So today I decided to bust out a project I had set on the back burner.

Sometimes I get started on projects and set them aside if I get busy, or in the case of this project, I didn't like the way it was turning out.

So I pulled it back out and decided to try it again.

The project I had going was an old washboard that I got from my Great Aunt's house after she passed away. It was slated for the trash, and I saved it from it's fate in the dump. It had too much potential!!




I knew instantly that I wanted to use Graphic 45's Home Sweet Home collection.
I started with altering the top, and I loved the way it turned out. The problem came with doing the bottom half. It was just not turning out the way I was seeing in my head. So I set the project aside to work on when I wasn't so frustrated with it. So fast forward five months and I FINALLY finished it.







I love the way this one turned out! It was better than what I saw in my head. 

So that's another project off the back burner for me. YAY!!

Also, this one will be posted for sale in my etsy shop, www.redcroft.etsy.com if anyone is interested in purchasing it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Recycle Packaging from Graphic 45 Staples!

While I was cleaning up all my art supplies the other day, I found the part of the packaging from the Graphic 45 drawer pulls I had used in one of my recent up cycles. I almost threw it away when the thought occurred to me that I should use it as a tag! So I set it aside until I had some free time to work on it. So this............. Became this...... I just love the way this turned out! I had the Artisan Style paper sitting in my collection for awhile and decided this would be the perfect thing to use it on!
