Altered Tins

This has been on my "To Do" list for a while, so the challenge at "That Craft Place" was the prefect reason to alter my paint brush tins.  I saved these from Christmas to store my brushes in and they work just fine for that purpose.  However, they did need some prettying up.

Since, they needed to remain functional I have added minimal embellishments in the knowledge they will more than likely get covered in paint sooner or later (probably sooner).

Here they are both before and after altering:




Supplies:
Empty Tins
12 x12 paper by Prima
Lace from stash
Pink Flat-Back Pearls from stash
Hot glue Gun
Double sided tape

Password Journal

This is an idea I saw on You Tube, and have wanted to make for myself for a while.  I made myself a template in Powerpoint for the pages and printed them out.  For the covers, I used chipboard, and covered them with paper from Prima's Princess collection.  I then added a Tim Holtz Ornate frame, stamped out the word passwords, and embellished it with flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Thanks to Robin from injoystampin on You Tube for the idea.  Here is a link to her video:
