Twilight Swap - Mini Album

Another first for me in this twilight swap was making a mini - and it's also one of my favorites! I made this out of cereal box cardboard. It is 4X4 in size. Both my partner and I are Team Jacob - so I found some Jacob quotes and used pics of him and Bella only. This was a lot of fun to make - and we even used a few of the same pics in the mini's we sent to each other!!!!

Twilight Swap - Matchbox


Well, I can now share my first altered matchbox! This was done for the 15 days of twilight shoebox swap on the CMB. I posted a sneak peek of the charm - here is the whole project! For one of the  days we were to alter a matchbox, and then put inside: 2 stickpins, 2 flowers, and a charm. I had multiple stickpins so I put 4 in the box. I just learned how to make the lollipop fabric flowers. This is also my first  charm I made. So, this was a project of firsts all around! I had so much fun making this matchbox. I think it may be my favorite thing out of the whole shoebox.
