Thanks to everyone who sent me beautiful cards and birthday wishes for today, you have made it very special:)
I rarely challenge myself to make something altered these days so when I saw our latest challenge from Michele over at Crafts4Eternity I was nervous to say the least. But I have a drawer full of stuff waiting to be altered and must have opened it numerous times, thought about it, then closed it again lol. So thanks for the challenge Michele. I hope you all have something you can alter and join us this week.
So for my altered project I choose a little bingo clipboard I got from Poundland. I made it with one of my son's in mind who is the most generous person I have ever met. Generous to a fault with his time and money and is therefore always broke lol. So to get him more organised I decided to make him a money board. There are lots of little pages for each month all laid out nice and simple so he can keep a track of his spends. I even added a pencil so he can rub out and change as his spending increases lol. I was going to add real pennies but they didn't look right so did some penny rubbings and cut round them.
Stamps - Sugar Nellie (thanks Christine), swirl stamp
Papers - Kit n Kraft
Embellishments - penny rubbins, text, pencil holder and computerised quote
Medium - coloured with promarkers
I would like to enter this into
CRAFT - alter something
Sparkles Forum - something metal
Just Add Ink - fussy cutting (coins and image)
