Personal exchange with Angie from Montreal

Bonjour, voici quelques photos de la boîte crée pour une "crafteuse" à Montréal.
Le thème de cette échange était le printemps! I hope you like it :o)

Love the colours and I did a very light crackling with "glue" yes, glue!!!

Here is the tag that I made for Angie... Love it!

April - 4XS boxes - Make me love it!

Bonjour tous le monde, long time I didn't update my blog... sorry :-)

Here are a few pictures of the last altered cigar box that I made for one of the 4XS sister,
 the month of April theme was "Make me love it!". Unfortunately I don't have many picture
and her video didn't load into her computer. 

For this box I made my sister many, many home made goodies, specially flowers and trims,
embroidery towels set, shopping bag etc. including my first handmade canvas mini.

You can tell the progression of my box. I just love it :-)

This is the interior flower to hid the bottom part of if, it's a window after all.

My first canvas mini.

Many, many handmade flowers...

Many different handmade trims.

My handmade gardenias...

And embroidery flowers from my sewing machine.

The finished product!

And of course full of goodies.

Bonjour à tous!!!, voici la vidéo de Charlene my 4XS from a fabulous group that Jade Moore created....
my partner was Char!!! Here is my box and goodies that I made for her.... The challenge was NO pink & blue, going back to the basic colours, cream, white & black and a Journal/Organizer
for your crafting supplies... 

Je crois qu'elle a bien aimé :-)

February 2012 - 4XS Box

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgrVI8wEoaw&feature=youtu.be

Here are some pictures of her box that I sent Char.... 

I really love this one, one of my favourite box so far that I created.

I found on the net this fabulous picture of this vintage lady and put it into this frame.

The inside I decided to take an old French book that I tore many pages and made a collage out of it.

The challenge for the month was to make a journal, so I decided to make it grungy my style.

As you can see there were a lot of pages that I grunge up for her to put pictures or papers into the pockets.

Every time I do an swap I make a tag, this is the tag that I decided to make Char. 

Home made flowers and trims, I just love the way it turned out!

Bonjour, I am making gardenias.... beaucoup moins dispendieux que IAR hehehe

Hi, I was so pleased to received the name of my new SSSS for January and it was Becky Bell Helwig!!!! She was the first Squirrel that I chatted with when I joined this group for the August '11 Swap!!! The theme of January was Winter Soft Romance... here are some pictures :-)

I altered a nice dress form with beautiful lace!!! Cette dentelle est merveilleuse!

Comme toujours un cousin pour les belles aiguilles... Stick pins cushion!!! I love to make those.

January chalange was to make a calendar... this is what I came up with ;-)
(little yellow paper had her initial - hehehe)

J'ai fait beaucoup de fleurs à la main... here are some for her box.

The box!

I crackled the box with glue!!! and it worked!!!

I was a busy Squirrel because I made lots of home made gifts for Becky
I knew she would love those :)

I decided to make her a Tag to match the calendar... my first tag :-)

Outside and inside the box... I keep the inside simple and elegant.

Hope everyone had fun.... Merci Jade and her Admin. for this wonderful group!!!! xoxo
