Hey, just a quick post to share a couple of projects I created some time ago. I made both of these in April, but couldn't share them until I'd given them to my sister. Her birthday has passed now...so now I can share!
This first one was inspired by several framed button projects I've seen on the net. Seeing those put some ideas in my brain. Then, as I worked it evolved into this.
Ahhh. This makes me smile. I used all vintage buttons from my estate auction stash. If you've followed my blog for a while you know how much I love them. I just had to add that sentiment from PTI's Love Lives Here stamp set. It says it all.
The other gift I created for my sister is an altered teacup. I took the idea directly from Vicki Chrisman's blog post here. And I let her know that I just had to copy her idea!
My sister collects pretty teacups and saucers. So when I saw Vicki's pretty teacups, I knew I had to make one!
I brought my old hot glue gun up from the basement for this project. I hadn't used it in years. It still works :)
I had fun with this project. I even tucked a few pieces of vintage lace into this teacup.
Well, I'd better get moving. Thanks so much for taking a look!
These are so pretty! I'll bet your sister adored them!!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful gifts! I love how soft the heart looks with the background and the frame. Perfect sentiment and I love the lower buttons with it. The tea cup is sweet, that's a great idea.
