AT LONG LAST!!!

Yes ~ I have actually finished my Halloween altered cigar box! Yippee skippee do-si-do!!! And many thanks to Miz Debbie for the awesome Divas project! I used Graphic 45's "Steampunk Spells" paper line, in both the 12 X 12 and 8 x 8 sizes; also used the 6 x 6 Patterns & Solids papers. Tim Holtz and 7 Gypsies goodies; ribbons, flower rosettes from stash. TONS of fussy cutting, and lots of foam dots.


The key to the apothecary ~

The back side ~ kept it simple.

Lots of fun danglies! It is hard to see them all, but there is a balloon, an owl, a tombstone, a Celtic tree of life, and a bat, among others...

Inside the front door...

The store ~ bottles filled with colored water, spices, baking soda and cotton ball wips. Gears from TH, Spare Parts and ArtChix Studios.

Thanks for looking! As always, click to enlarge the pix...

Well, this is going to require close, close study, but my initial impression is: FABULOUS!
Ma'am, you have outdone yourself-this is beautifully done, very, very creative.
Is that a TH rosette atop your cigar box?

Please come over to play with me in my creative space. We could do some real damage.
