Dear Scrappers,
A small project I did for the Compendium of Curiosities 3, Challenge 33:
"Altered surfaces"
This great Vol. 3 of Compendium of Curiosities, from our dear Master Tim Holtz, is filled with great techniques and I was preparing another project for Connie Can Crop and decided to use this technique for this Lightswitch labels too:
I had struggled since we moved to this new house with the multiple light switches throughout the whole house and found this labels a perfect solution:
For the Extractor:
For the heater:
And of course the light:
This is the whole light switch panel with the beautiful altered letters as labels. I can't get into details about the technique, but you can find it in page 45 of this book.
The sponsor of this wonderful challenge is:
"The wonderful Joy and her family at Inspiration Emporium sponsor all our odd-numbered challenges, and they’re back with another fantastic FIFTY DOLLAR SHOPPING SPREE for one lucky CC3C entrant! "
I hope you enjoy this easy peace project and give me some sugar ;-)
Have a very blessed weekend,
That's a lot of switches, and what a grand idea! I always turn on the wrong switches too. I might need to do this! The altered letters look wonderful! So cool and so original! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CC3C!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I've got switches in our house that I flip, not knowing what's going to fire up, after 14 years. Great job with Tim's technique!
ReplyDeleteNow this is not only a great idea but clever as well! What a creative fun way to label the switches! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteHow did this get past me? Sorry that I'm late in commenting...better late than never! This is such a clever idea, Vicky. Such a useful idea, too! You did a wonderful job with the altered surfaces technique on your Alpha Letters. Thanks for sharing with all of us at CC3C. <3 Candy
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies for all your kind commends. I got 5 more of those multiple switches to label... ;-) and they all don't have the same order to make matters more confused...
