CC2 Challenge #11 and #12

Hello and welcome!  It's Configurations Time!  This week(s) challenge was a blast to make!  I've been wanting to alter a configurations tray for over a year.  Thanks to Linda over at Studio L3, and Tim's book, Compendium of Curiosities Volume II, I finally had the motivation to do it.  If you'd like to make one yourself, you can find the instructions in Tim's book on pages 33-34. 

I've been collecting vintage odds and rusty ends for quite awhile now, shopping in flea markets, antique stores and yard sales.  I just love digging through old treasures!  This configurations tray gave me the showcase I needed to display those small items.  It gives me a lot of joy to look at them.  And speaking of joy, Mario is offering a super-fantastic prize package to one way-lucky person!  Thank you so much Mario for your generosity!

Hope you like it!  It definitely qualifies as grungy :)







Thanks for taking the time to stop by!  I'd love it if you'd leave a comment!

My next post involves a family portrait.  You know how well cats gather together to have their pictures taken ;)  I will be posting my extended furry family tomorrow, if not later today.

  6. I have tomorrow and the whole weekend off. You have inspired me to make a trip to all those (okay 2-3) antique mini malls we have in town and pick up 'stuff' for my next project.
