Altered Mother's Day Set!

So here is the "Altered" Mother's Day set I made for my Dear Mother. I did not take a pic of the card prior to licking the envie, so that you will have to wait to see until after she opens it on Sunday! Sorry!! The Glass bottle and box posts are further down on my blog but I thought you all might like to see the set together. Enjoy and Happy Mother's Day!

Oh! Look at that! There's already something "hidden" in the box! :)

Altered Glass Bottle!

Hello all! Hope your weekend has started off on the right foot! I enjoyed a beautiful day out running errands then a fun dinner out with my sister! :) I'm ready for a nap! But, alas, I find myself in my crafting corner! lol I needed to upload these pics. So, part two of my Mother's Day gift....An Altered Glass Bottle (This is a "Got Flowers?" Bottle but any bottle would work). I wrapped paper around the center (strategically placed over the stubborn labels that would not come off! Ok, I didn't try that hard since I knew I'd be covering them anyway! :)~ I wrapped a ribbon of paper around the bottle and adhered it with Glue Dots (my new fave adhesive!). I don't know why I didn't use these before but they are as awesome as the glue gun without having to get all stringy! Then I used the Cricut to cut (Easter 2010 cart) the Doily Circle in the same paper as I used to wrap around the bottle. I then cut a pink circle using my CM Circle Patterns and wrote "Mother's Day Kisses" using the CM Round Tip Marker. I did the faux stitching with the CM Fine Tip Black Marker. I popped the pink circle up with pop dots and placed it on my doily circle. After that was finished, I added my doily circle (again strategically!) to my bottle using glue dots.

I adhered pale pink satin ribbon to the outside of the silver screw on cap, added several blooms to the top and used a small sheer pink ribbon to add a little something to the center of the ribbon. I created my own beaded charm using translucent and pearly pink beads and attached that to a satin pink bow that I adhered (using glue dots!) to the bottom of the doily circle. It was missing something so I topped the bow off with a K & Company translucent butterfly sticker! (See pictures below)

Last but certainly not least, I added Hershey's Kisses to the inside of the bottle! YUM!

I think my Mom will like this gift...for the CHOCOLATE!!! :) I had fun making it and I think I might make one for my sister too! Aren't I nice? lol Somebody's got to eat the rest of the kisses!!
