Good Morning! Before I leave on that jet plane, I have to show you one more project that I worked up Friday afternoon! You remember this notebook I just knew that I would need at CHA, well I worked on a matching accessory.
Inevitably I run into someone in the airport that I get to talking to about where I’m going and what I do (you know cards, invitations, announcements), that type of thing. The last time I was flying out of Louisville, I ran into a realtor who wanted to discuss wedding announcements with me. Okay I know that packed those business cards in my bag, but could I find them? Well hell, NO! Did I look like a complete idiot standing there in front of one of the busiest realtors in Louisville, fumbling through my bags? Well hell, YES! I was soooooooooooo embarrassed. I didn’t want that to happen again, and here is my solution!
I had one of those alterable band-aid tins in my stash, and after measuring the tin against my business cards I knew exactly what that little tin was going to be! I covered the tin with the same paper, border and ink that I used on the notebooks. I did change up the tag that the sentiment is stamped on, but used the same sentiment. Now I know this is silly, but I loved it when I closed the lid and the paper tore . . . It makes the tin look even older and more time worn!
- Stamps: 463 Flourish Set and 461 Scraps and Scuffs from Rubbernecker Stamps
- Paper: K&Company Ancestry.com Tea Floral and Newsprint and Life’s Journey Layered Script; Prism Sage Dark
- Ink: Ranger Archival Coffee and and Vintage Photo Distress
- Accessories: Spellbinders Grand 12” Classic Lace Borderabilities; Tsukineko Sponge Dauber; Ranger Matte Accents; Vintage Button, Black Twine
This will hold the business cards that I will carry in my purse (the others are packed away in my laptop bag) so that I can find them easily. I thought that was darn smart!
I land in Orlando this afternoon and hope to relax and giggle with the girls, but tomorrow . . . Oh my BADness . . . I have a class with Suze Weinberg and then one with Tim Holtz! I’m sure I’ll have fabulous stuff to show and tell later. Until then, have a good one and thanks for stopping by!
I cannot wait to see this in person. You have so much talent and creativity. Who would have thought to create a band-aid tin for business cards. The distressed paper, etc is fantastic. Yes….I would love that the paper tore a little, too!
I get to hug you in a few hours!!!!!!!!
Gorgeous Sherry and what a awesome idea!!
I get to see & hug you tomorrow…..woohoo!!…wish it was today but darn work gets in the way!!
Sherry, the tin is absolutely beautiful and so practical; will have to try one and see how it turns out since altered projects are lots of fun to create. Have fun in Orlando and enjoy those classes with Suze and Tim!
This is just ADORABLE!! I love the colors!!
I am sooooo incredibly jealous of you going to CHA!! First of all, I would LOVE to meet Miss Kittie (she has ALWAYS been such a doll to me since I joined SCS and has answered so many questions re: her watercoloring)…..then (here is where my love for you turns to the dark side)….CLASS FROM SUZE AND TIM?!! humph…..won’t even go to where my thoughts are taking me right now!! (seriously, you know that I still love you Yoda…but, but….these thoughts!! hehe)
Have a miserable time (j/k)…..can’t wait to see what creations you come home with!
I love this! I’m really becoming a BIG FAN of the distressed look you always do so well! I’m working on it. 🙂
