A Little Box For Your Stuff :)

Image
  My husband collects things here and there...an interesting postage stamp, old coins, little notes I give him, etc. So I thought it would be nice to alter an Altoids tin for the bits and pieces he collects. When I showed  him the box...he wasn't as impressed as I thought...*sigh*...  Men!   ;) I like it, and I'll be looking at it, so that's what matters right!   I used DCWV's Juniper Berry stack in 6x6, the Cork stack and Adhesive Fabric stack.

A visit to Poe's house:     I love that background paper. Looked like a messy desk to me so I decided to make it look like a file on top of a desk. The Industrial Chic Stack is perfect to document our trip to Edgar Allen Poe's house in Philadelphia. Its full of writing and letters. The little Raven rub-on is from the Colorful Life embellishments.
