I have a few scrappy projects to share with you today! The first one I want to share with you is an altered project I created using Bo Bunny's Flutter Butter line. I just love the combination of colors in this line and the chocolate brown offers such a wonderful contrast to the blues and greens! The paper line name (Flutter Butter) and of course the adorable butterfly design on the papers inspired me to pull out this butterfly "skeleton" puzzle I purchased awhile ago at Michael's. It seemed to me to be a perfect match for an altered project! I then created a bed of paper roses for it to sit among!

I created the roses using a tutorial by Maria Holder. I used my Silhouette to cut out the flower shapes and then followed her tutorial on how to create the roses. They are very simple to make and I think they add a nice touch! After creating these, I have been on the search for other flower designs and realized that the Silhouette has several different 3D flowers available!!! More fun for the future! LOL!!!



How to alter wooden projects:
Sand the wooden pieces.
Paint the pieces, especially the edges, a color similar to the paper you are going to cover it with.
Glue the pattern paper to the wooden piece.
Cut around each wooden piece using an x-acto knife to remove the excess paper.
Sand the paper edges with a fine grit sand paper.
Ink the edges if desired.

(butterfly size: 10.5 inches x 13 inches)

I also have my October reveal article for ACOT posted today! This month I worked with Sassafras Lass's Amplify line! I found it a bit challenging to start with...the colors and designs are bit out of my comfort zone! However, after taking a step back and a deep breath, I was able to step outside the box and have some fun with their products! Feel free to top by ACOT for my full article along with more close up images of my layouts!





Thanks for stopping by and be on the lookout tomorrow for a some fun Halloween inspiration!!!
