Round Robin Mini Album II (Steampunk Style)

Here is the cover of my paper bag mini album I created in order to mail to my Robinettes for our Round Robin Swap in Scrapbook.com.  I used the Ella & Viv Steampunk paper and Reneabouquets olive green roses....
Robinettes  are me (Martica, Dkravec, Linny, LornaLee, Euroalien, Pinkalious, ScrapSmart, Bonprof, Laurelsattc, and Belkys). WHEN album is completed I will add Pics of all pages done by Robinettes.

Olde Curiosity Shoppe Shadowbox (Can)

This project I have had on my mind for a few months but never got around to attempting it.   Well I finally got all my goodies out and did it.   I love shadowboxes of any shape, so I decided to use my Graphic 45 paper collection and went to it.  It took me 3 days just because I had to plan and figure out how to do it.   When I sleep on it I usually figure things out.  In this case how to make a store window, how to incorporate the lighting and put shelves inside can etc.... Almost everything was new to me.  But I really enjoyed it.  I love to go out of the box when I create (no punt intended). I wanted a cylinder shape box and at first I was going to use a wine tube, but it was the width was to small so a paint can shape was perfect.

Here is the can .  The lid I had to replace with a metal one because when I tried making a hole

 in the center it cracked.

I made a opening with a blade, it was not easy.

Steampunk Jewelry Box

This lovely jewelry box I created in a steampunk style. I used Tim Holtz Idea-ology paperline and gears from same line.   I also used gears from Beads Landing.  The burlap flowers are from Paper Studio I did add metal flower to give it texture.   I sponged the sides of box with two different paint colors beige and brown and added feet to give box a lift..

 

My Reason For Living

Here are 2 altered frames I created of my grandsons....

Altered Steampunk Printer Tray

This tray I created with the 7Gypsies Printer Tray.   I covered it with various Tim Holtz Idea ology 12x12 paper.  I added so many embellishments that I won't be able to list them all.   The large burlap flower is from Recollections and other flowers are from Spare Parts and IAMRoses.   The scrabble letter tiles that say LOVE is from Bottle Cap Inc.   The bicycle at the bottom is from Prima.   Gears are from Tim Holtz and Beads Landing.   Some of the other metal embellishments are from Industrial Chic and Making Memories.   The stone letters M-P I have had for a long time they are from Sticko-Inspirables.  Most of these can be found in Hobby Lobby and Michaels.

My Shabby Chic Alarm Clock & Tiny Mailbox Ornament

I did two alarm clocks for others and decided to do one for me.  Of course it is a shabby chic style, which I love.  I also found a mail box ornament which I altered also.  Found this lovely image through the internet, if you are interested in this image let me know and I will send it to you.  You can email me at marticaluv11@yahoo.com and I will send it to you.
