The candy tin becomes an altered "trunk". I have a couple of these candy tins laying around that I couldn't throw away, because I can't throw it away if it can be altered! First I "primed it with Studio gesso, then covered it with Distress cranberry crackle paint. The "straps" and corners are pieces of Grunge paper, from Tim Holtz as well as the chain and items hanging from it, black key is from 7 Gypsies. The rest are bits and pieces. This project was a lot of fun, now I want to do a bigger one!

A great time was had by all at our girls nite at the scrapbook store!! These are the duct tape bags that Barb E. was so kind and patient to teach us how to make. Thanks Barbie!

These are "charms" actually keychains, that I made for all the girls that were in our "sleep over" at the Picture This. I began with bottle caps from Design Originals, again flattened in the Cuttlebug. I printed a sheet of "thumbnail" size photos and punched them out with a circle punch. Then glued the photo into the bottle cap with Glossy Accents, also covering the top to make a clear hard finish. When dry I punched a hole in the top with the Crop-a-dile, then adding the chain. Not pictured is one made for our very own "Cake Lady" Melissa ,who made and awesome scrapbook cake for our National Scrapbooking Day event.
