ALTERED PAINT STICKS

I recently hosted an Altered Paint Stick swap over at The Altered Page and wanted to share the creations of 7  amazing women.  Each participant had to create 6 paint sticks (2 for each member of their group)

Angela Holt owner of The Altered Page and her blog The Bling Theory created these beautiful paint sticks:  Each stick has ticket tabs that pull out, Prima Roses, and Keys as well as her words of wisdom Live, Love, Create and her favorite quote "Well Behaved women seldom make History"

These Shabby Chic Creations are mine:  I used some paper from the Melody Ross Homespun Chic line and added some Prima flowers, Prima Bling, and some butterflies.  My words are wisdom are Dream and Believe.

Trisha Hamilton created this lovely pink and brown paint sticks.  These shabby sticks have some awesome butterflies and flowers on them as well as Dangle Charms: Mother,and sayings of Joy, Forever, Create.  I love the colors of these beauties..

Chai Dackermann of Creative Paper Crafts created this Shabby Chic paint sticks.  These sticks were created with LOTS of prima and BLING.  I love the eye lash yarn and the feathers.  Her quotes are "Life is about celebrating the little moments" and "It takes a long time to become young"

Gypsy Rose created this Vintage Looking Sticks she created these sticks using stuff from her stash.  She added little ballerinas, vintage roses and buttons as favorite quotes are "We should consider everyday lost in which we don't dance" and my favorite quote "Dance like no one is watching"

Kimberly Gillaspy created these fabulous sticks you check out her creations here on her blog Kimberly's Scrap Room.   Pretty in pink and pearls adorned with pink felt flowers this are so Chic.  She added georgeous stick pins and lovely ornate butterflies and feathers.  Just to lovely for words.

Jimmie Bright created this beautiful sticks.  Very vintage looking with roses, crackle paint, metal keys.  Some of my favorites are the pirate theme one with the shell and skull and bones, and a cute one with a bunny and butterfly that says Hop or Fly.  On one she used crepe paper like ribbon and added zebra stripe ribbon very pretty.

Diana Dittmer created these awesome sticks.  She used round wooden circles surrounded by white baby roses to create a cool spot to add pictures or journaling.  She also used some lace and pearls and flowers on a beautiful rose background paper.

Just wanted to thank these amazing ladies for joining in my swap.  I had so much fun and loved what each one of you created.  Your are all very talented and I am honored to know all of you.
