Faith Sisters

This weeks SALT challenge 'This week it is my (Ruth's) turn to set the challenge. To be honest it crept up on me and so when I was thinking about it I think I had in the back of my mind Mother's day here in the UK which is this coming Sunday. So, with a slight twist I came up with
Inspiring Christian Women......they could be women from the Bible, from Christian History or from your life.I kept with the mother's day theme, and have made an altered tin using the verses from Proverbs about a Woman of Noble character..'

I wanted to base the project on my fellow saltinies (the Design team for the Salt blog). I first started to look for photos of them, but not everyone had one... so I decided to choose pieves of work that they had done for the Salt challenge site, trying to choose mainly colours with red and black or projects that I liked, each picture has a label on the side to identify who did which work. It was times like these I wish I hada craft robo for cutting all those letters out- which I did by hand! It has been a long time since I have done any scrapbooking...

WE ARE CURRENTLY RUNNNING A RAK SO PLEASE VISIT SALT AND LEAVE A COMMENT TO BE IN FOR A CHANCE OF WINNING!

You go and save the best till last...

I have been saving these delicious K & Co papers, mainly for stroking purposes! But decided to tuck in and make a Mother's Day card using the DCM challenge of recyling- can you spot what I have recycled? My mum likes pumpkion seeds, and this was on the side of some packaging for some fancy bread!

Also here is my altered clock, got carried away sticking that forgot totake the before photo... again using some new primas and ribbon from stash, accented with a couple of butterflies, oh and stick on pearls from Lakeland

Altered Art?

BEFORE AFTERDon't tell my MIL, but this went in the bin- but as you can see I took it out again, because I decided I could use it! Then swiftly covered up the logo with a sticker to make it look pretty and decorated with my new primas and some girly bling! Oh if you are wandering what it is... it is a mobile phone holder, now sitting pretty on my craft table
