Storage boxes

These lovely boxes were a friends off casts and they were bare wood at the time. They stayed on my shelves for ages just crying out for attention until one day I decided to play around with some inks and stamps and here is the result with a bit of sparkle and bling.  I use the drawers to store all my ribbons ( yep you can never have enough ribbon!)  so decided to colour co-ordinate, that way I always know exactly where each is housed.

The one on the bottom left is for lace and the one next to it is fibres and they all come out completely so I can change the combo anytime.  It still doesnt stop the messy ball inside though.  That needs another solution ummmm........



Another fabby box used for all my metal embellies.  This one is painted with acrylics then overstamped with  paper artsy cogs and gears mini stamp
Staying on the theme of boxes here is a shadow box  made for the Vintage Choice competition over on UK stampers

You had to include two or more items from a list. I used glitter, photo, and pins other items were ribbon and fabric  but sort of cutting up curtains I didnt have any of the latter. Me and a sewing needle do not belong in the same house!! The only pins I had were little baby pins in lovely pastel shades so out came the promarkers!!
I had great fun with this as it was a chance to get out all my little embellies which I had collected because they "looked nice and might come in useful one day"
