Mini Albums

Here's a collection of mini albums I've made over the last year or so...

Altered Slide Boxes

I bought these little white slide boxes in bulk for this purpose.... I wanted to make little chest of drawers to give out as gifts...

I started with 6 boxes.... and glued all 6 together to make a chest of drawers...

Once all glued together, I took the measurements of the inner box, and cut strips of paper to fit the outsides of them.

Once I scored them where the corners go, I glued the strips onto the boxes.

I glued down a strip of cardstock down to cover the whole outside....

I then distress inked the outside, and punched holes into the center of each drawer and pushed the backs of the buttons into the holes, and glued those down.

I glued flat back pearls to the bottom for feet, and trimmed the outside with brown ribbon.

I added some metal embellishments  and some pretty flowers.

All metal embellishments, buttons and flat back pearls are from http://www.miriamscraftingblog.com/  !! Go and check her out!!

Altered Tin

So, I am on a design team with Miriam's Crafting Supplies ( http://www.miriamscraftingblog.com/) and my project for this challenge was an altered tin and give it to my friend for her birthday. Mind you, I've never done this before, nor have I ever used washi tape... so.. this was a real first for me! Here's what I came up with....

I ended up making some matching clothes pin magnets to put inside.....

All metal charms, rhinestones and pearls are from http://www.miriamscraftingblog.com/

Here's the tin in it's original form!

CARDS!

Here's a few I've done over the last few months.....

MINIONS!!!

Thought I would create a few Minion projects with materials that I have here.... I NEED to use up some of my materials.. they are overtaking my craft area! SO..... I wanted to make a card, and have a ton of clothespins hanging around, and decided to decorate those to add to the card as a little gift. Here's what I came up with....

I just used different strips of paper to make these guys, and then added googly eyes...

 I added magnets on the back of the clothespins so you can use them on your metal surfaces......

I knew I would use these HUGE googly eyes for something someday!!!
