| NEW EBAY AUCTIONS THIS WEEK ~ The items
shown below are up for auction from Mom23TXgirls
this week. These lovely altered box sets include one each
of the following ~ DAISY, BROWNIE, AND OLDER GIRL SCOUTS.
Each altered box will include the unique hanging photo album in
matching papers and colors. These items will make a
*wonderful* gift for your hardworking and fearless troop leader or
maybe get it for the leader's daughter who has it tough sometimes
with Mom in charge. Any girl scout in your life would enjoy
such a personalize and unique gift. The box can be used to hold S.W.A.P.S. or patches & pins, notes from penpals, awards and other such keepsakes. The display album can be hung in the girl's room to display her many pictures of friends, fun, and Girl Scout adventures. I hope you will check them out before they are all gone! Just click on the pictures below to get a closer view of each item! KINDERGARTEN ~ the Daisies are a wonderful age full of energy and barely able to sit still! These pretty blues match their blue uniform smocks. Use this box to hold their 'petals' in as they earn them and before you get around to ironing them on LOL! This is a paper mache box, completely covered and sealed on the outside and inner box with K & Company girl scout papers. There is plenty of lovely matching 'daisy' themed ribbons. A beautiful white peek-a-boo tear bear sits on one side of the box. Inside is a lovely hanging photo display album that says DAISIES and each panel has a saying that starts with each letter of D-A-I-S-I-E-S. For example: D= Do a good deed daily! BROWNIE GIRL SCOUTS ~ AGES 6-8 ~ Possibly the *most* fun age of girl scouts ever(of course 3 years with this age group might have made me biased!) Who can resist the snaggle-toothed little brownie with her pigtails and girl scout cookie order form? This wonderful little altered wooden box has pretty browns and pinks and is made with the K & Company Girl Scout papers. There are lots of embellishments and even a beautiful lacy tear bear holding onto the machine stitched sign printed with the GIRL SCOUT PROMISE! Turn it to the back to see 'Brownie Girl Scouts' and an area for adding a name or troop number should you choose to do so. Inside you will find a 12 panel photo album (because there are lots of Brownie pictures let me tell you!) to hang and display on her wall! JUNIOR GIRL SCOUTS AND OLDER ~ AGES 8 AND UP. This altered wooden jewelry box is designed with the older girl scout in mind....because there comes a day when girl scouting is still fun but not *cool* (gasp!) YES I know, that day is coming for my own junior girl scout! So why not have a beautifully shabby chic box that says MEMORIES on the outside to conceal all that Girl Scout fun on the inside! Open it up, and on the upper lid is an area to personalize ~ just tell me your troop number and I'll add that to the box if you win. The hanging album is made from some wonderful girl scout green and pink colors and has 6 panels to display photos, journaling and more!  Like the altered boxes but want something not so 'girly'???? Check out www.kritterkreations.com and click on the altered boxes &photo albums tab at the top and you can custom order a box, an album or a set! YOU choose the theme. YOU choose the colors. YOU choose the sizes ~ I do the WORK! You will get a completely unique item that will hold your precious memories for generations to come! Have ever looked for just that 'perfect' scrapbook item for that extra special project? If you have something in mind that you just can't find elsewhere, have a look around in the KUSTOM KRITTERS & PERSONALIZED ITEMS  So if there's an idea you have that you would like to see, just email me! There's no risk to see a brand new custom design from KritterKreations ~ if you don't like it, you don't buy it! And if you order one of my many listed designs in your own colors, poses, sizes and personalizations ~ I will send a picture of the completed item before shipping it so that you know what to expect when you open your package. |
Here we are in August
already! Can you believe it? Lately, I've been
watching all these wonderful artists making their altered tins
and filling them with beautiful cards/photo mats and wishing I could
make something as beautiful as that. Personally, I have found
that tin or metal is particularly difficult for me to work with
and achieve the results I want... so I have been hesitant to try it
again. *AND* I often wondered what exactly does the buyer end
up using all those cards for that are inside their
beautiful altered tin? They are so pretty that it seems a
shame to leave them packed away out of
sight. With all this in mind, I set off on the task of putting my own twist on the altered tin idea. While walking through the craft store, I had came across these lovely unfinished wooden jewelry boxes of various sizes and shapes. My imagination just *exploded* with ideas of how they could be used. This month, I will be featuring my new ideas both in auctions and in the website and I hope you will find time to stop in and check them out at : ALTERED BOXES & DISPLAY ALBUMS  I chose to make my first altered boxes using beautiful new K&Company GIRL SCOUT papers and embellishments. I created one box for a Daisy Girl Scout, one for a Brownie Girl Scout and one for a Junior or higher level Girl Scout. Each one was created with a little girl in mind ~ it helps that I am a Girl Scout troop leader for each of these age groups. My goal was to create a special keepsake box that can be used to store not only photos, but do-dads, pins, patches and SWAPS and any other cherished keepsake from the girl scouting year. I also thought about my own daughters, and how they love to take pictures of themselves with their best friends and hang them all over the wall and mirrors of their bedrooms. So the idea of a matching hanging display album was born. I have many more boxes and many more ideas to come ~ and I love to hear custom requests from YOU so I have included a special new section in the KritterKreations webstore just for the altered boxes and hanging photo displays. I will take requests to make YOUR special album using names/words/colors that you choose. Have a look at the new "NAME" albums displayed there! I included instructions below for *How to Make* this unique display album so feel free to give one a try!
