Good Morning and Happy Crafty Sunday







Good morning and Happy Crafty Sunday from Honeybearz Designs.

Today I am sharing with you an altered stove cover I did for a challenge in my facebook group The Crafty Corner. The group The Crafty Corner is a group where we do challenges, swaps and just share our work and of course we crafty chat also. If you would like to stop by and join us just click HERE and I will invite you in and you can join us for some fun.

One of the members of the group made the suggestion to alter a stove burner cover. I never would have thought of doing one. I really like the way it turned out myself. I used Graphic 45 collection French Country on my project. I just love this collection. I am in the process of creating a shadow box using this collection also.

This is the before picture of the stove burner cover
You can buy these right at Family Dollar real cheap.


Here is the after picture of the stove cover


Remember if you would like to get involved in some fun stop by The Craft Corner and join us for some fun! Hope you all have a happy and crafty Sunday.
