I dare you swap (3 and 4)

You really need to read the last post first - if that makes sense!!

For the something altered I decided to make a fridge magnet using a large jigsaw piece. I gave it all a quick coat of pva for protection and am quite pleased with the way it turned out. I think the sayig is funny but I hope the recipient has a sense of humour - I suppose it could betaken the wrong way. I've got another nearly finished that will be looking for a home soon.



I had already made up a house shape with slide mailers - I was going to do an Alice in Wonderland/Living in a mad house thing for myself (think the kids were driving me mad that week) but decided I would use that as it had sat there for weeks. Started off kind of grungy and then got a bit prettier. Used resist emboss again (I'm loving this technique) and some image transfers, stamping etc. Attempted, rather unsuccessfully to put UTEE in the alcoves of the slide mailer (prefer not to think about it). Still you have to try these things and on the whole it came out rather well even if there is a slightly bizarre collection of styles used in the making of it.
