I am making a 2011 little calendar out of altered beer mats. Here are the first 4 pages. When they are all done I will bind them together with a zutter machine. All images are by Lisa's Altered Arts.
Looking good!! I have a lovely one made with beermats that Tish K gave me last Christmas. It is so gorgeous, I think I will just re-do the calendar bits and have it for another year!!So I can cofnirm it is a very good idea!!
These are , as usual, simply beautiful! And I'm thoroughly sickened, because someone gave me a BOX of beermats (no, we don't have a pub, one of those things where you just don't ask...!!) and my husband (beloved man that he is) threw them out... sniff sniff! Well done again X
Just got a whole lot of new stamps from a brilliant place called the Stamp Smith. This is the image that I first saw on Docraft and really liked. I asked the friend who has used it in an ATC, where she got it. Well she borrowed it from a friend who got it from ebay as a one off. But.... it had a title. I googled the title, and hey presto found the site. They have great stamps and offer a really friendly fast service. I highly recommend them!
