Christmas bunting

Hello all. I'm starting with a bit of happy news today. I lost one of my beautiful fur babies back in March and I, along with one of my other cats, have been really struggling with her loss, so yesterday I saw a post on FB from my vets looking for a home for 2 abandoned cats and one of them was the double of  my beautiful girl! So I spoke to hubby and asked if we could adopt her and he said yes! So we shot off to the vets and brought her home. Here she is:

isn't she beautiful! We have called her Bonnie. Things are a bit hairy at the moment as there's a lot of hissing going on so we are introducing them very slowly, a bit at a time. I do hope in a few days things will settle down and they will get on.

Now onto my craft project.

 I've been playing with the new Angelberry Christmas CD and have made some Christmas bunting.

I've used some Spellbinders dies to create the baubles and to cut out the adorable images. I've layered them up and added some snowflake die cuts and some ribbons. I think this will  look great in my new party room at Christmas. Why not have a go, it's really easy to put together and no-one else will have the same as you!

Another altered object

Todays item is an altered brown box. I got the box from Country Baskets a while ago and finally got around to decorating it.

 The papers are from K & Co, I've had these stuck in a cupboard for years! I've distressed the egdes with a file and some Tim Holtz Old Paper distress ink.

 The butterflies are Spellbinders and I've used both layers to give it a 3D effect.

 The image is from Make It Crafty and is coloured with Copics.

 A few close ups of the butterflies.

I've also added a Martha Stewart border at the side of the image.
I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. I also have a round box which I might have a go at soon!
