Altered Bottle - The keys to the Past

 Hello my dear friends,
at the moment I'm finishing up some projects which have been sitting on my table for quite some time and this altered bottle is one of them. So I'm very pleased that this one is done.

 Soldering on the jumprings on this one was a bit challenging:) Not to say it drove me nuts and while the soldering iron was out and hot,

I finished this one too. Not as I wanted it but I still like it.
Wishing you all a wonderful Monday and as always thank you so much for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment. It is always very much appreciated.

Hugs and love,

Pillow Talk

today I would like to share these two pillows with you. The white one was a pillow case I already had and I used Lesley Riley's Transfer Artist Paper ( TAP ) to transfer the graphic to the pillow.The graphic came of course from the Graphics Fairy.Thank you so much Karen. 

I had so much fun with the pocket pillow that I created one for me too which is very similar to the one I gave away.



I just used a different graphic -  also from Karen. I will link up to Brag Monday and White Wednesday at Faded Charm please do come and visit.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and as always, thank you so much for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment.
