Matchbox Shrine Challenge

I kind of talked one of my crafting buddies to do a MB shrine swap with me, going on holiday soon ,so thought I had better crack on any how! Did not have a theme,just went through my stamps and picked one at random and this is what I have made. Paula I hope you like it.

Some older works

The brown tray again was mahogany and a similar process was done as the black one, only I stippled on a paint effect this time and used a different napkin.

The vase or utilty holder was a bargain from a charity shop and looked a bit boring just plain, so I chose a napkin and added it to the piece to give it some character.

This tray was originally a mahogany coloured tray
Not being a lover of mahogany(sorry for all of you that do ) I decided to alter it.It was sanded down to bare wood,painted with gold,then painted with crackle glaze and over painted with black. I then varnished it twice and then added the napkin art or otherwise known as decoupage. Red,gold and black is such a sexy combination of colours and I love poppies. After another couple of coats of varnish,this project was finished. I hang it on a wall above a door frame in my kitchen.

Still no crafting

Been busy with life these past couple of days, so not had time to do much crafting.
Have just been onto a friends blog and she is also busy (Margaret Field, see my link list) and she has not been able to craft much these days,so she is showing older stuff. This has given me an idea,later I shall take pics and show you the stuff I did a couple of years ago.
That's about it for now, doing stuff tomorrow and decorating Tuesday,so might,might get to do some craft stuff Tuesday evening or Wednesday.
Toddle pip folks

What no post's

Well still decorating around my pals house! But finally we look like we are winning!
I reckon another two more days and we shall be almost finished. Looks much better.
Got a class on Friday and not sure what to do as yet. My craft table does not know whats hit it as it's been a few days since I have sat my butt down to craft, got the urge to do domino's but they will have to wait a little longer!
So I shall say good bye for now.
Pop back soon and hopefully I shall have some pictures to show you.

Thursday-decorating day

Today I am off round a friends house to help her decorate, any excuse to wield a paint brush I say! So no crafting today nor probably tomorrow.
We are going to attempt the downstairs hallway and two small bedrooms downstairs. Magnolia walls and some white gloss work, just to freshen things up,oh and doing the ceilings too,so I shall have more white in my hair lol, at least I don't need a ladder or chair to reach,being tall does have it's bonuses,sometimes.
Right she will be here in a moment to got o town to pick up materials, so I shall say bye for now. Jinny x
