Flower Pot Card

Hello everyone,

Happy Friday! I am enjoying myself over at Stampin' Dymonz Scrap Shack because there are so many things that I can do. Sometimes I do more things than I can keep up with - it's just so incredibly fabulous there!



This is the top of the cigar box I altered for a swap we recently had at The Scrap Shack. My partner was Helen, who is a fan of the color purple. I love this color and had fun painting the cigar box and adhering all of this fun stuff to it.



I didn't change the wood grain on the inside, being a lover of wood grain myself. But I filled it with all sorts of goodies.



I threw in some of the things Croms would find useful, including skulls and cross bows since she is a lover of the dark arts. She did a video and it was nice seeing her excitement. This was a fun swap and I've already signed up for the next one.

Come on by and see what we're all up to. It's a lot of fun at The Shack!

So lovely - so rich and vibrant with immense detailing there. Beautiful to say the least... Helen will be thrilled when she opens up her cigar box to find such yummy goodies inside.
