Feeling like a winner

Cause I am!! This week has been fun, fun, fun!!

First I found out I won the challenge at Get your Scrap on! and they are sending me something in the mail, is that super exciting or what? I didn´t even know there was a contest going on lol!

And then for NSD Jess from The Crafty Café was giving an awesome blog candy and I won too!!! So I´m on cloud nine, no plans on coming down soon and I´ve been feeling super creative and making layouts and challenges almost non-stop, it feels really good and got to take advantage of it while it lasts.

Then today I made this for Diana, is an altered cigar box covered in black gesso, wich let me tell you is very messy to work with it for starters as you may realize is black very very rich black and it leaves your fingernails all nasty looking but the effect on the cigar box is very cool.

I used DCWV PP and the D is a MM Funky Vintage some MM buttons and the owl, heart and flower are cut out from national PP that is really difficult to work with I had to back it up with cardstock, it doesn´t ink well and it wrinkles when it gets wet so not happy with it, too bad is so pretty and the swirlies are from the MM flocking kit.

I posted my box on The Dares because Dare #92 was to alter a box.

A few shots of the box of thingies for Diana, our boss´s husband is a cigar smoker and I always get his empty boxes or if he gets any cool tin-can I get that too I´m always telling him to pass his garbage my way lol.

Have a great day is Hump Day and the week is halfway there can´t wait for my goodies to arrive, Thank you so much again Jess and Get your Scrap on! team!

Oh, Lida, so happy for you and proud of you for winning! And the box is so cute, bet Dianna loves it.

Small world: my Hubs is a cigar man and he's into Kinky Friedman cigars now. I have gotten some nice little wodden boxes that make great holders of stuff.
