Crafty Secret's DT Challenge!

This challenge is all about birthdays! Should be easy enough right? Sometimes you need little gifts......token gifts......so here is a lil' altered project I came up with. Since I am a teacher , I have access to many of these lil' staple boxes......and since I am a scrapper, I can't throw ANY of them away! (It's a sickness people!) So what's a girl to do? ALTER them of course!

Pretty ugly box huh?

Better?

I used the Crafty Secret's Girlfriend Creative Scraps to cover the box. Of course I also used some vintage buttons, ribbon, and a couple of pearls to dress it up. So what do you put in such a box?

Well......martini magnets of course! What's better than a few martinis holding up those important papers on the fridge?! I used some glass pebbles from Michaels. The martini image is from the Craft Secret's Chandelier Fun set. I colored it with my Copics, cut it out, and mounted it on red paper. I used Crystal Effect to adhere the glass pebble to it. When that is dry, cut around the pebble, then glue the magnet to the back of it.

Here they are all nestled inside of the box!

I have a card too to share today! Totally unrelated to the above box! ( They don't match at all! )But, I did use the same set........ Chandelier Fun.

I stamped the chandelier in Versamark, then used white sparkly embossing powder. I did the same with the "chain" but did cut that itty bitty thing out! The candles were stamped in Momento black, colored with Copics, and yes.......they were each cut out! The paper is SU! and Basic Grey.

Can you see the "chain" hanging there?

............and my lil' candles?


The rest of the DT has FABULOUS projects to share! Go check 'em out!!!!
