Soccer Altered Shadowbox

Altered project I made for Splash of Color for Winter CHA!

The shadowbox is made out of wood, and I covered it with Viva Inka Gold to give it the pretty green color!  I used Stone Effect Paste in Graphite to achieve the textured look on the outside!

Basketball Box Project

Shelley, here, with an altered project that I made for winter CHA!

It's a wooden box that holds 4"x4" pictures, and it's on a swivel, so it turns!


I used Christine Adolph's ALL HOOPS Collection!  Isn't it cool?!


The box works like four picture frames.  You slide in the pictures from the inside of the box, and there is glass that covers each one.
I painted all edges of the box first with Viva Colour Precious Metal Effect Paint in Gold.  I then papered all of the sides and the top of the box with paper.


For the silver edges, I used a base coat, then Inka Gold Metallic Rub in Haematite on strips of paper, then glued these on the edges.  It looks like the edges are metal!


I installed a trophy topper on the top of the box, after I covered it in the base coat and the Inka Gold Metallic Rub in Haematite.  This topper started out as a shiny gold, and it is made out of plastic.  Using these products, it made it look like  pewter, and I really loved the look!


Here is a picture with the lid of the box removed.  For the lid, I made a couple of mini-magazines, and adhered them.


For the inside of the box, I made a tiny album as a bonus!  It just housed a few pictures, and was a fun addition to the box!





I used rub-ons and scrap paper and stickers to embellish the mini book.


I lined the inside of the box with felt, as to finish it out.


Lastly, I used some brown and white twine around the bottom and the top of the box!
I hope you've enjoyed looking at my project.  I've enjoyed sharing it with you!!

"Family" Album by Shelley Hamilton

 I made this album for the Scrapbook Expo in February in Grapevine, Texas, for The Crafty Scrapper!
On the front of the album, I used a wooden frame that I covered with Viva's Inka Gold.  I then, stamped on it, using some of Dyan Reaveley's stamps.  In the centers of the flowers on the frame, I used Viva's Paper Pen in Graphite.

The book is new by Heart of Texas Studio and the paper is by Prima.

 I used the chipboard embellishments that matched the paper.  On this page, I used Viva's paper pen in Copper (it's one of my FAVORITE) colors!

 On this page, I used a chipboard frame by Maya Road, some more Viva Inka Gold, and I used a few of Tim Holtz's new stamps, and some stamps by Dyan Reaveley's as well!

 Here, I used Maya Road's new camera chipboard embellishment, as well as Tim Holtz's new Distress Paint to stamp with!

 On this page, I used more fun embellishments and some stamping.

 This little "memories" lightbulb embellishment is by Prima.   These were fabulous!  Notice Tim's new stamp in the lower left-hand corner!  These were a must-have for me, too!

 Here, I used some of the matching embellishments, along with Maya Road twine, and Viva Ferro Special Effect Paste in Amber Gold!

 More Prima goodness!

 On this page, I used Dyan Reaveley's stamps and Viva's paper pen in Copper!

 This lovely flower embellishment is by Maya Road!

 Here, I used Maya Road's new tiny wooden frame embellishment and their tiny metal rose.  I also used Tim Holtz's stamps.

 I edged all of the pages with Viva Inka Gold!

I used Dyan Reaveley's numbers stencil and Viva's modeling creme on this page!  All of these wonderful products AND MORE!! lol  are available at THE CRAFTY SCRAPPER in Waxahachie, Texas!  It's everybody's Happy Place!!  Have a wonderful day!
