Don't Altoid boxes just inspire creativity? This is a mini shrine I made my mom for Mother's Day. It is Shire to Motherhood with stamps, vintage photos, vintage buttons, quotes, paint and beads. It was definately a labor of love but worth it. It was a lot of fun but took much longer then I anticipated. It takes a lot of time between layers to dry and that was the biggest problem. I did not plan my project well and had to undo and redo several elements. Lessons learned: plan well and give the box a nice undercoat to help the paint stick better. I have heard that Gesso works great but have not gotten around to getting any yet.
