I thought I would share this project that I made for my Grandmother for Christmas.
It’s a scrapbook made in a Stampin’ Up square tin.
{I’ve had some emails from people telling me that they cannot find the round altoid tins…only the square tins. So I wanted to show a project in a square tin and I think it works just as well!The square altoid tin is smaller than this tin…but the idea is the same.}
The front of the tin is covered with scrapbook paper and inked around the edges for a vintage feel.
Then I added a yellow sunflower {Heidi Swapp product} and a button.
This sticker was added as the final touch.
When the tin is opened, this small scrapbook is the surprise inside.
The interior pages look like this:
I continued with the blue & white paper theme with touches of yellow.
This scrapbook fits nicely onto a plate stand for display.
The last step for this project is to add the pictures…I am planning to add black & white photos of the children.
And I plan to tuck it into a nice little parcel that I will be mailing soon!
