Happy Birthday, Gail!

Happy Monday everyone!  Today is my sister Gail’s birthday (yes, December is a busy birthday month for us!) and she is one of my biggest fans; she loves my paper crafts, loves to shop yard sales,  and is a great encourager!  She flew up from South Carolina for my birthday this summer and helped tremendously!  She is a lot of fun to be around too!

She loves vintage stuff too so I made her another altered Altoid tin for her birthday:

Here’s the back:

And the inside:

Santa has several layers, and lots of sparkle and glitter; his “snow” is a piece of quilt batting covered with vintage glitter:

And the other side is also layered and glittered:

All the images were from Crafty Secret’s Retro Christmas CD, except for the back sticker, which I think was from Melissa Frances.  As always, I had a blast creating it and I hope she likes it!  If you have any questions, shoot me an email!

Yesterday afternoon my daughter’s half-brother and his girlfriend came for a visit; he travels a lot and lives in FL, and we don’t see him much, so this was a real treat for us!  He held up well, playing with Cassidy, helping her make sand art and just being a great uncle!

Enjoy your day!
