Wonderful Wednesday -- Altered Cigar box --











Hi friends!

  I spent most of Tuesday working on this altered cigar box.  I used my K and Company "watercolor" garden paper to decorate this beautiful box.

  The flowers are cut from a sizzix flower, 3D and all of the other elements are from my personal collection.

  The pictures where made while the project was still wet, so I could get my post for today together.

  Please try this project for yourself.  Cigar boxes can be purchased from your local tabacco retailer.  This box cost me under $3.00.  I am not altering the inside, as I enjoy the smell of the cedar wood.

  Stamp Happy and be a Blessing!

Loretta, beautiful job on your cigar box. Love the flowers & everything else about it. I love the smell of cedar wood too. What are you going to use it for?
One more thing, love the song & I love Christian music. I have a few CDs that I listen to while I craft & even clean. Would you be so kind to tell me who is singing that & the name of the song? Thanks, dee

Dee: the song is "Blessed be the Name of the Lord" sung by Songs 4 worship. It is very soothing and I am so thankful to be a child of God.

Not in a swap, I plan to use this box to store my most often used inks on my desk. I'm really enjoying the box. Finally something made just for me!
