Twinsmoms DT Project "Coffee Tin""

SO I finished my very first DT projects for the Twinsmoms Etsy store and I am so excited with the way it turned out. I took an international coffees tin that I have millions of because, YES I AM AN ADDICT!!!! I covered the tin with patterned paper and then embellished with all the amazing goodies that I received in my DT package!!! The trims themselves are absolutely amazing!!!! And the pink crystal flower is just sooooo pretty!!!!!



I made the tin into an address holder and filled it with paper seperated by dividers that are alphabetized!!!! Wouldn't one of these just be so stinking cute on your desk!!!!!!

Don't worry if you dont drink coffee you can always bag it up and send it to me free of charge!!! LOL!!!!!

Dont forget to check out the video on my project........here

My first attempt at cards...

Okay so I have never really been a card maker, I always ran from the chance to make one. For some reason they really intimidated me and I wanted no part of them. I always sadi they were too dang small and I just can't work like that....but can do a toilette paper roll mini no proble, GO FIGURE!!!!!

But yesterday after getting some much needed advice from My Care Bear, Carrie Taylor I sat down and tried. She told me, " They are just like the pages to a mini" SOOOOO TRUE!!!!!!!! Once I sat down and actually put my mind to it they just seemed to come so easily!!!!!!

So from now on I think I will be drawing inspiration for my mini albums from cards, and vice versa. I think for now I am stuck on cards, so lets see......may even put some in the Marketplace of Bella Creations and my etsy store....hmmmmmmmm.

Here are a few pics of some I played with yesterday!!!!! Wooo hooooo....I can now call myself a cardmaker!!!!! I can die happy!!!!!!
