This Thursday its all about............"All Change"

I set myself a challenge this week to complete a chalenge with out making any cards!!
It was tough at first put luckily Ive pulled it off.
This weeks Challenge at This Thursday..... is "All Change " my choice being to change the purpose of the CDRom, hence no cards!!
First is a mobile made with ribbon covered Kebab sticks, gold thread and a laminator. By printing the images onto tissue paper I decorated this candle I picked this wooden box up in a £1 shop, Ive painted the box with poster paints,printed the images onto card and covered them with glossy accents and decorated with sprinkles and dragonflies
