Part 1 of Mystery Tin Project

For those of you following, I would like to personally thank you for supporting me and my creative streak.  I have several projects that I am working on for the next few weeks.  I have been asked if I could give a tutorial on how to make my vintage flowers and that is something that I'm working on as well.
I'm not a teacher by trade, but I will certainly try to teach you all how to make these wonderful flowers.  I just have to try to figure out Ustream.
So, the Mystery Tin Box will have a Part 2, don't you just love surprises!  I'm working on Part 2 of the box, so just be sure to stop by again.
I love the way you can take something new and age it by just using some distressing products.  For this particular project I used Tea bags to age the lace ribbon.  I then took Tim Holtz distressing ink and distressed the edges of DCWV Tradewind stack. I removed the hardware that came with the tin and added some that I picked up at the hardware store.  Just these few simple steps made this ordinary tin box look extraordinary.
DOES THIS LOOK FAMILIAR?




The lighting in my craftroom is not the perfect lighting, but I have to make do with what I have, so I'm very sorry.  If you like what you see, please be sure to post a comment.  All comments are welcomed.  Also remember that I will be giving away a FREE Gift to one follower 25, so signup, tell a friend, neighbor, family member, or other paper addicts. 
Oh, and for those of you near Rock Springs, Wy, I will have having Scrap Crops at the Library.  The first one is scheduled for Saturday, July 16, 2011 from 12 - 5pm (FREE).  Be sure to come if you are a paper addict like me.  Since it's a crop I will not be teaching anything in particular.  Bring your scrapbooking projects and supplies.  It's just a great day for paper addicts to get together, scrap, swap ideas, and enjoy some scrapbooking company.

  2. I am really digging DCWV Papers. They have some really nice stuff. Is it sad to say that I'm falling for DCWV.
