Mystery Tin Album Part 3

Here it is ladies the final touches to the Mystery Tin & Album Project. 

I am totally loving this project, because I took something that looked new and made it look OLD!  I don't particularly like looking OLD myself if you know what I mean, but I like to make things appear to be OLD. 

So, here is what we started out with:

BEFORE

AND here is what we ended with:

AFTER

Here's the final finishing touches to the album:

I used the Stampin Up Tab Punch to make the tabs for the cards that go in the pockets. 

To make the flowers I used Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers Die.   The paper is of course DCWV Tradewinds.  I love this stack.  There is so much you can do with this stack, the sky is the limit and you can't go wrong with DCWV.

So, there it is, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have making it.  I can tell you this much I really burned my fingertips with this project, but it was ALL worth it!

I was hoping my order would have gotten here by now, but the mailman failed me, so I couldn't begin on my next upcoming project :(!  It's all good just as soon as it gets here, guess what I will be doing.....CREATING!!!!!

Mystery Tin Album Part 2

Can you say A "MAIIIIII" Zing!!!! My hubby came up with this when I showed him the Mystery Tin Album Part 2.  I worked extremely long hours on putting this album together, because I wanted a WOW factor and a bit of A "Mai" Zing touch to it.  I didn't sleep very well, because I had the idea come to me while I was in bed, so I had to get up and put it to work, but let's say it's A "MAI" ZING!!!!!

I still have a Part 3 to this, sorry, but a paper addicts work is never done, and I wanted to add some finishing touches to this album.  So, be sure to check it out! 

I will be displaying my finished pieces at our local Community Fine Arts Center in Rock Springs, Wyoming.  After the show I will sell them on Etsy.  Anyway, enough of my jabbering, I'm sure you don't want to hear all that, but see what I did, so here it is ladies.............drum roll PLEASE!

Can you see A "MAI" Zing, lol!

So, there you have it the Mystery Tin Album, it's A "MAI" Zing what you can do with paper, glue, and embellishments. 

Also, just so you know I have been challenged to make something out of OLD DUSTY BOOKS, so, that is what I will be working on in the next few weeks.  I guess I will have to BRING ON the MONSTER drinks.

 

Creative Mystery

Here is what I will be working with next.

I'm growing very fond of the DCWV stacks and  for this particular project I will be using DCWV Tradewinds and Natural Stacks.  The flowers that you see near the tin is actually made using both Stampin Up! Early Expresso & Old Olive cardstock and DCWV Natural Stock. 

There will be some distressing using Tim Holtz Ideology Walnut Distress Ink, Tim Holtz Metal Vintage Embellishments and more.  I am not quite sure what I will actually do with this Tin but whatever I decide to do it will be a mystery to both you and me. 

Oh, and I will be dying some lace with tea bags.  So, let's see what I will be creating next!
