Blogger's Challenge - Alter it, sort of...

Hi Guys! For yesterday's Blogger's Challenge we were to create an altered item... Well I had all intentions of making up something new, but the time got away because we had too much fun at Stamp-a-Stack (will post those further down)... and because my NEW catalogs came in :-)

So I was almost worried I had nothing to post that would match the "theme". But then I reached for me glue gun (ATG) and it almost bit me :-)

You see... I've decorated mine like a week ago so there wouldn't be any mix-up! I've die cut daisies and the letters "C" and "P" from black Vinyl and added them to the case...

Yes, you can see it resting on the new catalogs... If you are local and you don't have your own copy yet, please contact me... You don't want to miss out on this one!

And then the view with my initials:

they are not too over powering but noticeable enough I think!

So there you go, this is my "lame" Blogger's Challenge participation for this week. But I thought I should share this idea so you can use your Sizzix Dies and Vinyl as well to decorate your "tools"...

The SAS cards on the other hand were not so lame and everyone had a real good time Thursday night and Friday morning.

Here is card #1:
