WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THIS AMAZING SHEET






Altered Altoid Box Wish Box
by Leanne Seed
for this box I reporpoused an empty Altoid Tin and coverd it with stunning paper studio paper then layerd on my image from the collage sheet after inking the edges with brown ink. then I use my white paint to distress the lid edges and along the sides I layer on decorative trim then added two small pink paper roses. On the inside I layered in pieces of my butterfly paper (by Paper Studio) and a little sentiment card that reads "Make a wish  Do you have it? No believe in it with all your heart" using a piece of Jodi Lee papers. Last I put in a mini sticky pad to write wishes on.





Altered Altoid Tin Wish Box #2
by Leanne Seed
For this box I used blue paper by Bo Bummy and another of the images from the Life altering sheet as well as the butterfly from the Gecko Galz "Butterfly Wings" collage sheet. along the tops edge I used Glossy accents and sprinkled with gold UTEE and heated, it makes an amazing antique looking metal edge. also I used the Viva pearl pen around the fairy picture edge.





Birthday Girl Greeting Card
by Leanne Seed
For this fun little card I used Graphics 45 paper for the card top then layered on a mat of Bo Bunny pink polk-a-dot paper and next the image from the life altering collage sheet sized to 5x7. I inked all the edges using distressed ink in pink. I made corner decorations using fabric flowers and vintage pink pearl buttons. For the envelope I used Mark Richards bling edging and one of the pink silk flowers.





IMAGINE CARD
by Leanne Seed
For this elegant card I used the paper company paper and recolections paper as well as dresden cormers and ribbon from my stash and sequined accents I got at Hobby Lobby.
