Hi Everyone,
This is my first post as a LESSology DT. I am so excited. The challenge at LESSolog today is to alter a trinket box. Altering a box is one of my favorite things to do.
I started with a 90 cent box that I got at Goodwill. I sanded, painted, and inked it. Then added some designer paper.
Next I added the embellishments. The lace is from my St Vinnie's lace haul. The image is from Graph 45 paper. "Dream" was cut with my cricut.
Now for a peek at the trinkets inside. I trimmed and stitched some felt to line the inside.
This was so much fun.
Here is a little video I made.

Market Street Stamps, LLC was founded in January 2010 with an excitement and growing need for stamps that were unique (no clip art here!), easy to use (they're clear, but stamp like buttah!), and durable. We use genuine trade-quality photopolymer that is guaranteed to stamp through thousands and thousands of impressions. Our goal is to provide crafters of all levels with fun images and coordinating supplies for any time of year! We provide same day shipping, speedy customer service, and inspiration from one heckuva design team (if we do say so, ourselves). You can find us here blogging daily, on Facebook, andTwitter, too!
