"Back to School" Spellbinders storage.

After I finished the last binder for my Spellbinders I thought there has to be more practical solution. So to keep them all in one binder I decided to take advantage of the back to school items that are out. I started with a zippered three ring binder, some cardboard, Darice magnetic sheets, black paint , and reinforcement labels.
Then I ended with this as a finished product! Right now I have three pages, magnetic front and back, and on just these pages there are 32 sets of spellbinders dies! Then the pocket that is on the inside , I have the rubber mats and a CD case that holds 12 more with the shapes on a square panel. All of this and there is still room for more!

Altered dress form

This is a dress form I found on a clearance shelf and thought ,hmmm I would like to alter that in some way. So I did. I forgot to take a picture of it until I had already painted the limbs and some of the body.
The finished product modeling my first attempt at an "altered" necklace. The limbs are painted with Distress crackle paint, the body with paint daubers and Glimmer Mist. At the waist is Grunge paper cut and embossed with the Cuttlebug, and adorned with black crystals.

The base is sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist the I added the metal word pieces and glass pebbles, with a little Floral Soft climbing up the middle.




Not the best picture but the Cuttlebug was willing to help me out. This is the necklace by itself. I used T.H. link chain and Blue Moon pendant pieces.
