Need Paper?

Hey y'all! 

I am a paper hoarder and I admit it!  So, I've been cleaning out my stash and I have an entire large flat rate priority box full!

I'd like to sell this paper if anyone is interested.  It has all brands. Most of it is 12X12.  Some seasonal papers, die cut pages, solids, patterns...just about anything you can name!  I can provide a few photos of some of the papers, but no way I can take photos of each piece.  :)  I can also give you some brand names and collections.

So, if anyone is interested...please leave a comment or email me at shelly_anne00@yahoo.com and we can work out the details.  Paypal is acceptable!

Thanks so much!

Altered Box for Susie & Page for Sally

Hey Y'all!!

I just finished an altered box for my best scrappy friend Susie.  :)  I finally got it to her so I can now post the pics and share with you.  :)

First I took a box that I purchased from Hobby Lobby. 



Then I measured the box and traced around the outside to cut paper to cover the sides and top.


Then I cut out what I had measured and traced. 


I then painted the box with a purple color that coordinated with my paper.  I painted the edges, the entire inside of the lid and box and bottom of the box.  I neglected to take photos of that part!  :)

Then I applied the papers after letting the box dry.  I used Glossy Modge Podge.  If you don't like the shiny look you might want to use Matte Modge Podge.  After I had it all modged podged and dried, I added some feet to the bottom.  I used tiny wooden spools for the feet and painted them gray.  Then, I embellished the top with all kinds of goodies! 

Here's the finished top of the box.


I have also made a slide show with some close ups of the top.  :)
