Labels for Lightswitch

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,

  1. 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!!!

  2. What 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!
