View Full Version : Anyone up for a challenge? stampin stacy 06-21-2007, 06:54 AM Anyone up for an altered tin challenge? My husband has brought home a couple of small silver tins from work and they are calling to me. I have never done anything like this but want to try so who will play along with me? Taniwolf 06-21-2007, 04:38 PM Hi I haven't done anything like that either. But i am willing to try if you are. :) stampin stacy 06-22-2007, 07:24 PM Cool Taniwolf! Anyone else want to alter a tin and then show it off? Any theme and any size... inky fingers 06-23-2007, 08:26 AM Gotta check my stash... I remember a lunch box was here somewhere. Or a couple of those CD tins that "you know who" used to send us in the mail..Free 1800 hours when you joined. How long do we have to get'er done? Remember to use some sandpaper if you are painting it..And Modge Podge takes forever to dry..so use a sealant spray instead for the final protective coating. (done a few heavy metal items b4..and made all the OPPS) stampin stacy 06-23-2007, 05:48 PM Was trying to see how many want to play first, what do ya'll think? stinkyscrapper 06-26-2007, 06:25 PM I just wanted to say...that I have altered a few quart size paint cans and they are so much fun. I have painted on them and have also adhered patterned paper to them. I made a bunch for Christmas presents for my family and they loved them and also made some for Christmas gifts for my daughter's teachers. :) stampin stacy 06-26-2007, 07:14 PM You wanna play along with us then? Lol, at least be available for advice ;) ? inky fingers 06-27-2007, 03:37 AM I just PM'd you Stacey... It's a go for me!! stampin stacy 06-27-2007, 07:13 AM Okay, anyone who wants alter a tin should check in here once it is completed. Then upload a picture(s) to the altered section of the gallery by mid month. :applause: Theme, style and size of tin is: OPEN (makers' choice :) ) If you can do more than one, the more the better! Even if you are new and just reading this please feel free to jump right in. We're just testing our creativity and having some fun along the way. Everyone is welcome to join us in that! :D stinkyscrapper 06-27-2007, 07:29 AM Hi Stacy, Sure I can be here for advice. If I have some time I will alter a tin as well and post it. Great idea!

Mine is almost done, will post pics this week hopefully.:) Taniwolf 07-08-2007, 05:53 PM I haven't had a chance to find a tin to do the challenge. Sorry i am way behind in making cards for swaps and stuff. I will do this it may be a while though. Tanya stampin stacy 07-09-2007, 09:29 AM :D Mine is done and in the gallery! That was fun I might have to do another! Taniwolf don't worry about it, whenever you get time. This was just supposed to be for fun and experience, no stressing out allowed :) . restingrabbit 07-11-2007, 07:55 AM Checked at home and found I have a tin I can play with. I have never done this before but given the advice on-line already (about Modge Podge and the like), I am going to give it the old college try!;) stampin stacy 07-11-2007, 05:22 PM Can't wait to see what you do with it. inkieroo 07-12-2007, 05:52 AM You gals sound like you are having so much fun!
