Today, Crate Paper is exhibiting a beautiful array of altered crafts, and cards, from the shabby chic expert, Andrea Budjack. We crossed paths with her whimsical creations a few months ago at Pinterest. Her work had immediately caught our attention, and so, we asked her if she would join us for a day at the Crate Blog! As luck would have it, she said, "Yes!" Two months later, the moment is finally here. Please, give a warm welcome to our talented guest, Andrea Budjack
About Andrea...

Have been crafting for the past eight years. Often find that I gravitate to crafting at some point throughout each day. Love being inspired by and inspiring others.

Love the sheet of tags, perfect for just about everything. I envisioned a carousel of photos and tags, layered together, which is how I came up with this. Created from a base of a wooden knob and formed wire, this project includes five paperclip holders.
These beautiful papers, stickers and embellishments were fun to work with in creating a wall clock. Something that would be displayed in my craft room with a variety of colors and patterns to keep me inspired. The wood frame created a create start to the clock, backing it with paper and chipboard. Painted the frame sticker to give it a little rustic, shabby chic feel.
Love creating cards and the chipboard stickers are a perfect way to add dimension and color to them.

Sincerely, thank-you so much Andrea for honoring us, and our blog readers, with all that you've made from our Story Teller & Pretty Party collections. You've brightened our day! Everything is simply gorgeous. We hope you'll visit again another time!

elf-employment in all forms requires hard work. It takes time and perseverance to find work at home jobs, establish a reputation and build a great resume. It’s not easy to work alone, even at home, but it can be very rewarding.
