Abra-Cadabra!

BEFORE

I thought it would be fun to do a before and after photo of one of my projects. My sister asked me to make a wedding shower gift for a friend's daughter. I usually make my altered tins for her to give, but I found this cute little chipboard Wedding Cake accordion album. I thought I would give it a whirl (with a backup tin to alter -- just in case!).

AFTER

(I guess this picture spoils the illusion of a beautiful background!)

Yippee! I did it. I think I will try to do more before and after photos.

Holly said...: Oooh--it's beautiful! I have not seen an album like that, but I am WAY out of the crafty field--everything is cold when I discover it.

Neat idea of before and after pics.; June 27, 2008 at 6:00 PM
