A Vintage Telephone

I'm not even ceasing to amaze myself.  LOL!  I got to do something with my spare time.  It keeps me out of trouble.
This next project was done and inspired by the tutorial from Laura Dennison of The Paper Trail.  She created a Vintage Telephone for CHA 2012 and when I saw she had posted a tutorial, it was on my to-do list.  I love it.  It now sits on my desk at work for me to look at.

Isn't this purty... as my Tennesse friend would say.

A Blinged Up Purse

I just love these little boxes that I picked up in the Dollar Bins at Michael's.  They have so much potential.  It's another late night where I'm not sleepy just yet, so I pulled out my paints and went to work.

I used a light purple Pearlescent ink paint and painted the entire box.  Replaced the elastic to some white elastic and added some rhinestones.  I used Fabric Tac glue to glue them in place.  I was amazed at how fast it dried.  And of course, it needed some straps, so I made some small holes with my cropodile and added some small purple eyelets.  The ribbon added just the right touch needed.

I'm sure any young girl would love to have this in her collection.
