Hello to all of you and thank you for stopping by! I also want to thank you for the good wishes and prayers concerning my recent skin cancer surgery and am thrilled to report the doctor removed it all! Now that is happy news! While still being careful, I went into my craft room to play with a little shadow box from a Hobby Lobby shopping day with
Annie. I am thinking she picked up one as well. With a few challenges in full swing and of course some of the DT are among my favorite people, I had to join in!
My stamps of choice "
Toy Emporium" from Artistic Outpost, were all inked in Black Archival and shaded with Distress Vintage Photo and fussy cut. All papers are ODBD "
Winter Collection 2014."
The box was gessoed, sanded and then painted with a Delta silver metallic paint which is more of a glaze. Love that! I did a couple of coats. Cut the paper to size, glued down and sanded the edges and then shaded. Also using my fingers added a little of the silver paint and rubbed of the excess and then with a toothbrush flicked on some gold. The inside framing was glazed with both a silver and gold paint. I have had these cheesy colored foam snowflakes for some time and painted them gold to frame around that really cool Santa!
The outer edges were treated with DecoArt one step crackle and gold applied to fill the cracks.
All the tinsel sticks were cut to fit and hot glued down. Boy does that stuff get away from you and on you! Added bits and pieces I have collected.
Now for the fabulous challenges I am sending my little Christmas shadow box off to!
A Vintage Journey "
Vintage Christmas" keeping it vintage and used
Tim's Vintage Photo and Hickory Smoke Distress Inks, Holiday Word Band and Alpha Tiles.
Frilly and Funkie "
Tis the Season" with vintage or shabby chic goodness!
Mixed Media Monthly Challenge "
Silver and Gold" and I used both!
Hope you are having a wonderful start to the Christmas and holiday season. I have tons to do as usually, but what will get done will and what won't!!!! Thanks again for visiting!

Terry, this transformed HL box is simply amazing! So creative! I love it! You did such a fabulous job of creating such lovely little vintage Christmas scenes in each compartment. I love them all! And the cover is simply amazing, too. I so love the embossed antiqued silver snowflakes and how you've wrapped the "flurry" of snowflakes around that adorable vintage Santa stamp. Very very pretty! Beautiful job, Terry.

I've been missing blog posts and had no idea your surgery was related to cancer. Oh my goodness, what a relief to read that all is well and you are on the road to recovery!
This is such a precious piece, with a gorgeous sense of nostalgia to it, in fact it looks like an heirloom piece, perfectly vintage in appearance.
Wishing you all the very best.
