A wonderful day to you and thank you for stopping by!
It's a sad and joyful combination of feelings today as this is our last post for the
Technicolor Trio of Tempting Treats.
Sad because it will be another year before we challenge each other again, joyful because what we've challenged each other to do has been an incredible experience and I've loved every minute!
Getting my hands on anything in my craft room that wasn't nailed or glued down, here are the photos of how this challenge came together.
1.) Altered Box or Artist Trading Block
2.) Wings
3.) Game Pieces
4.) Seasonal Display (I chose Spring)
This glorious book box was sent to me some months back from Mitra and how grateful I was to have it for the last project together.
These will become the front door...
Here's the door with Welcome wreath, weathered wood, screen inserts, kick plate and door knob.
Because I needed game pieces, I cut from a Bingo card and the wings are from a recycled tea can.
The word BINGO was cut apart at IN and GO and then reversed to make my welcome mat.
A flourish cut for decoration on the Silhouette machine.
A vine from water spritzed and rolled Kraft cardstock woven into the flowers and book spine with coordinating enlarged flourish. The 12 and 21 are also from the BINGO board and are my house numbers.
... and that is my little box makeover!
If you've followed me through all of these challenges, I thank you so much and truly hope you found some bits of inspiration here and there.
As for Onion (Sue) and Mitza Pitza (Mitra), I cannot thank you ladies enough for the most invigorating, challenging, euphoric, exacerbating, evolving and personally transforming experience.
You two are truly inspiration to me!
I already look forward to next year :)

I was late to adding a freebie on my last post from Ignacio, so if you missed it, here is an image from Nicecrane Designs that Ignacio would like you to have from his set Nursery Rhymes. Thank you so much for sharing this Ignacio!

LISA......i am screaming your name....when is your book coming out....SUCH AWESOMENESS
Hello Q,(sniff)
No I have not got the sniffles...I am just a little sad that this is the end of our of our Challenges, the six weeks flew by and oh how I have enjoyed the eclectic mix of Art that has been created, we are three ladies who are very diverse in our thinking and it has been a huge inspiration to me to witness you and Mitra's ideas and how you transform them into paper Art.
Once again you have taken a humble box and made it unique, like you do with everything you create, no-one creates like you Q, it is so special and fun and dare I say, quirky. Do not ever lose this side of your creativity, it is something to be treasured. I have so enjoyed working alongside you again, looking forward to next March.

Lisa first of all I want to say thank you for stopping by my blog and your wonderful comments, they have really helped me get thought all my craziness that has been going on the last several months. I love your door and all the extra work you did to make it so creative. Thank you for the free image, love nicecrane designs. Your Silhouette machine has made all these flourishes work really nice.
