Hello friends,
I think I may have mentioned from time to time that I like to do a bit of altered art/mixed media items, well it appears that each time I appear on Create and Craft I seem to conjure up a decorated jar!
On Saturday it was a tag created with Antique Frame and Accents, cut from burgundy cardstock,
I retained the middle section and the pearl swirl enabled that stay in place.
Added a photo of my lovely Mum when she was a little younger,
a flower from the same set and then vintage ribbon and twine.
On a previous occasion I designed this tag...
But when it comes to my favourite decorated jar ..I think it may be this one...
A lot of my jars are recycled - I always look for gift sets of preserves and fruit
more for the shape of the jar than the contents!
Tomorrow Bella will be picking out four names for the 'Candi' and I will post the winners on Thursday.
Have a lovely day.

Hi Christine, all your decorated jars are gorgeous. I used to do this quite a lot, but before Spellbinders came along and you've inspired me to do it again. Loved the one with your Mum when you showed it on TV, she will love it Carole Z X
Love the tags Christine, really like the new samamtha walker frames very ornate xx hazel
Love this idea of decorating jars. Especially as it gives me another occasion to use my spellbinders
Fantastic Tags for jars or cards or presents .Melanie
I love all the jars. Looking forward to tomorrow to see who will receive the candy,will we see Bella? x.
Hi Christine. The tags on the jars add that extra finish to a present. So pretty and I do love Samantha Walker's designs.
This is a great idea for experimenting with dies, textures and colours - cards in miniature - yet a useful end product. AnneRD
Lovely tags and jars Christine, I'm sure your Mom will love the gift. I can see the family resemblance!
This is such a great idea Christine - it seems a shame to through nice shaped jars away and this gives them another life

The jars are lovely and so are the dies, like them all.
Hi Christine, your decorative jars are beautiful. I may look for some and decorate some myself.

I love what you've done to the jars Christine, gorgeous shaped ones too, will have to look a little more carefully from now on to see if I can find some similar! Janice x
What a lovely idea and they would look good anywhere.
Evening Christine, I have never attempted to decorate any glass or unusual containers before but after seeing these you have enhanced so beautifully I must try and see what I can come up with.

I seem to have gone a little tag crazy lately ,although not with Spellbinders,this has given me food for thought.
Hi Christine, very pretty and I love the filigree dies. Its amazing what ideas you come up with.

Hi, your designs show just how versatile Spellbinders can be. Thanks for your inspiration.

Hi Christine
Boy don't you look like your mum, she's lovely.
I love all the jar/tags but I think my favourite is the same as yours: the third one. Such a lovely idea to completely alter the top, it makes it so pretty.
Good luck to everyone that entered the draw.
Hugs Linda
