♥: Friend Whimsy Pocket

Friend Whimsy Pocket

Greetings to all! Shabby Chic Sunday for me! I am featuring an upcycled pocket today. I love to recycle items.

At Sentimental Sundays we have an anything but a card challenge this week. Also a huge welcome to the new design team. You can read about them here.

These are the easiest little things to create. Just flatten a cardboard tube, glue one end, and decorate away. I used a wallpaper sample to cover the entire tube. I punched the bottom edge with the Upper Crest border and then added some hot pink glitter along the top. I used a little lace for a more frilly look. Then layering, layering, layering. I used a digital red label, crown ticket, and sheet music background to achieve this. Added a little twine, some seam binding, and a tiny flower. You know me! With some distressing! :-)

Challenges I would like to enter this in:

Totally Gurjuss: #82 twine (brown twine)

C.R.A.F.T.:#104 alter/recycle (cardboard tube and wallpaper sample)

Card Cupids: Ribbons/Fibers (lace, twine, and seam binding)

Paper Sundaes: #71 Shabby Chic

2 Sisters: #41 Anything Goes

Crafts 4 Eternity: #21 Alter something

Challenge Up Your Life: #44 Recycling

Also a peek at a itty bitty baby jar I altered for a whimsy swap I am in!

Thanks for stopping by!
