Altered Cigar Box Stamp Studio Style



Over the next few weeks, I will be posting the wonderful creations that fellow TAC Angels made for the TAC Seminar (I think I had about 180 pictures so it's a lot of weed through LOL).

The first creation I wanted to share with you is Shirley Hotop's Altered Cigar Box that she made for ClubMED and I was able to take photos of. Shirley is just darling...here she and I are at one of the luncheons..it was so nice to meet her in person as we have exchanged emails and are TAC Blogging sisters!




Here it is opened. Isn't it just charming? It's a little stamp studio complete with desk, chair, little trash can and bulletin board. And the top view. Just love it!

Shirley's creation gave me such inspiration as I have a cigar box sitting here collecting dust and now I have some ideas on what I want to do with it.

If you need cigar boxes, check your local cigar stores as many of them give them away or for very cheap. I also found an online source as well for empty cigar boxes, Cigars International (do a search for empty cigar boxes).

Today is the start of our Holiday weekend. My husband is on call all weekend so hopefully he won't get too many calls and I have to work all weekend doing medical transcription but that's mainly in the evenings so we still have family time together. Today, we took the boys to a local park, let them run off some steam and then for a walk.

I hope you and your family are having a good start to the Holiday weekend!

Hi Ellie,

This creation is absolutely gorgeous!!!!

Hi I just spent some time going through your blog. It was brought to my attention this weekend that they have finally closed our group for the Sister Hood of the Blogging Stampers group #28.

I had almost forgotten about it since I signed up so long ago, but anyway as it is closed now I wanted to hop on over and say hi to all my fellow Stamping "Sisters"

I have really enjoyed your creations and look forward to seeing more very soon!!!

Heather
