No, this is not the other long tutorial I mentioned! LOL! And it's pretty straightforward, forgive the short(er) post today, I have a lot going on here. This little Altoid Tin will hold ALL the words (magents) from "The Best Things in Life", I was able to stamp them all in Memento Black ink onto a piece of Gina K Pure Luxury 80lb CS that I attached to a self adhesive magentic sheet( I forgot to write down the dimensions of the sheet I bought but it was about 6x8", similar to the size of the untrimmed stamp set, it was under $3 at Hobby Lobby).
Instead of permanently covering the inside or outside of my tin, I left it a blank slate, the magnets will of course stick on all sides, I love how you can put them around the edge or create your "phrase of the day" for the top. Doing a color or some different DPs would have been really fun, but I decided to keep it all back and white9with the exception of the "pink" and "chocolate" of course! LOL!), classic fridge poetry-style. To dress it up a bit I punched out some flowers with the Basic Grey Cupcake DP and stuck a coordinating Basic Grey Cupcake Glazed brad through each. I bent back the prongs and then used my leftover bits from the magentic sheet on the back so I can decorate the top or inside of the tin or bling up my phrases (there is room to store these inside as well when I'm not using it)
I just love this idea amd your tin is so cute.
