Cigar Box for my Hubby

Here is a cigar box from Michael's that I altered. I had a lot of fun and most of my inspiration came from Miranda she is known as MsLiberty25 on You Tube you should check her out!! She works with a lot of metals and it's amazing!!
Most of the metal findings is from Tim Holtz or from stuff I had laying around the house. So I hope you enjoy and you are free to post comments below also check out my video as well!!

Here is the inside of the lid.
I used Prima Craftsman paperline. So fun to work with!!

Full view with the box open.

 The bottom of the box. I used Tim Holtz light bulbs as feet.

Tags and Stickpins for a Swap :)



These are my Valentine tags and stickpins I did for a swap at Scrapinvintage.ning.com. I am changing the back a little bit and the way my stickpins are stuck in there but I think it turned out really cute!! I used the Prima Romance novel paper and flowers from Michaels and Craftsupplies1 on Zibbet and Etsy. The bling is Recollections from Michaels as well.

Mini Albums






Mini Albums I made for my two older boys for Christmas...I think they turned out pretty good. They are made out of paper bags and have chipboard for front and back covers. I used canvas for the front covers and spine and painted them with acrylic paint and used the crackle effect.
