Altered Project #6: Best Friend Canvas & Wire Patio Plaque.
I LOVE this one! It looks so sweet in Lily's room! What a deal to find these plaques at Jo-Ann Fabrics! 70 % off, so it was only $3!!! Just painted over it, added some glitter and ribbon, flower, and one of Shabby Princess' piece-a-cake album pages...and you have a beautiful piece of art!

Altered Project #4...they're still rollin' in! I've been wanting to make a block album for awhile now, and didn't want such a HUGE thinking ordeal. So, I just used 4 blocks and it turned out real nice...not too crazy to put together either. LOL I used 4, 1.5 inch blocks. You just have to make sure that they are all exactly the same size...round the outside corners, cut, and you've got a cute way to display (PLAY) with 6 album pages!

Altered Project #3: Glass Picture Paperweight. This sweet little paperweight was so fun to make. It was just a recycled Hallmark Mother's Day one that I took off the velvet backing to replace the picture with my own design. Then, just added embellishments, and ...Wah-La!!

Altered project #2: Family Chipboard Coasters
They sell packs of 8 with a design of some sort on one side, and the other white...all for $1!!
The other 4, I think I'm going to make a fold-up album with, Hhmmmm... ( PS. Forgot to mention that the background paper in this LO is from Iron Orchid Designs.)


Here's my 1st altered project: I LOVE it! It's soooo cute and little...and still quite elegant!
I love scouring Target's $1 bins! You can find LOTS of neat items to alter...hence, this Mini Magnet Frame....(started out as Bright Orange...yuck!)

Yeah! I figured out how to save a large scrapbook file to the web! (Thanks to the wonderful Shabby Princess tuitorial on her latest free Piece-Of-Cake Album!)

Still frantically working on items to submit for her Shabby Altered Artist call...I know I'll make the deadline with some things...but I'm such a perfectionist when I design and make things, that I know I probably won't feel they're that great since I had to rush....sniff sniff.
Oh well...I'll do my best!
Here's the scrapbook page I did at Easter...it's one of my favorites. (Until I learn more techniques, of course! LOL)
Almost everything is Digital Design Essentials, with the metal pieces from Jen Wilson Designs...."Potting Shed" kit,I believe.

Off to work! Hallmark cards can't arrange themselves out on the shelves you know! LOL

Hello Everyone! This is Lily...hence the name "Lilypad Lane." She is definitely one of my biggest inspirations...and possible reasons of insanity! LOL

Thanks for stopping by! I promise to get this l'il ole site a bit more exciting as I learn how to do it all.

Bye for now,

Becky
