Silver Trays - Times Two!

OK, I admit it.  Add altering silver trays to my list of addiction.  I picked these two trays up at a thrift store last weekend.  I made them for part of my DILs' presents for Christmas.  I think these are just silverplated trays and they didn't have the "vintage" look I was going for.  I tried rubbing some black patina around the edges - the patina was left over from my stained glass days - and it gave me the older look I was going for. 
Used more gorgeous Graphic 45 and Bo Bunny paper (I have a hard time covering up this paper - it is just too cute), TH's rosettes, prima flowers and leaves, nestabilities dies, and stuff from my stash pile.   The reindeer are from JOTS.

Another Altered Book

Another altered book - made into an album.  These are so much fun to make.  This was for a swap where we had to use the color green and a frog!!  This is what I came up with.

This frog was cut from Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up; "Summer Fun" was cut from Cricut Carousel.  All the paper on this book came from loose sheets or my stash so I can't name it.

 I love the way this page opens; the hand which keeps it closed is from Making Memories.

These are prima butterflies - sooo cute.

Borders from a MS punch

Prima flowers

Liquid pearls used on this scallop cut from a nestabilities die; the shapes on the opposite page are also cut from nestabilities.


The rest of the embellishments were from my stash; some of the twinchies were from swaps.
