This is a Christine Adolph design by Creative Imaginations, and all of her designs are gorgeous. And I know why I bought this,, because I knew exactly what I was going to do with it--.JPG)
It was hard to stick with these colors, but in the end I'm glad that I did, because I'm so happy with the way that she ended up. Actually, it's kind of easy when you only have 3 colors to choose from. Okay, and I just realized that I cheated a little with her face. I used my Caran d'Ache crayons and I can't even remember all of the colors that I used. Oh yeah--I forgot about the green leaves too--I guess it's not that easy : )
And when I was at the Dick Blick store, I picked up one of my favorite very very deep wrapped canvases that happened to be 12 x 12 (same size as the scrapbook paper), with no thought of what I was going to do with it. I love when things like this happen.
And how about that large glass knob on top--got it at the Columbus wholesale show for only $1.75!
And here's another find--this one was from the Highway 127 sale--
Glass knobs for the feet--these were only $1.00. Now if any of you have checked prices for glass knobs for cupboard doors, then you know that this was a good deal! These cigar boxes are my favorite types of boxes to make, because at one time they were at a tobacco store and some cigar-smoking man or possibly a lady, who prefers cigars, purchased this box and with no reason saved the box. Don't you wish you could show these smokers what us guys do with these boxes!
Also, I want to thank Alison for featuring me on her website Art-Of-Crafts. This is a great site, and from it's own words--"Art of Crafts is a meeting place for everyone who loves any type of craft, from sketching to knitting and from sewing to jewelry making". So check it out, and you can see my interview here.
Thanks Ali--great start to my week!!
