My tin & mini album are done!

I did it! I finished the April Challenge!! And it's still technically April here, too. :P I've posted pics of the mini album on my Yahoo photos page. They're in the RCS Challenges album. There's no pic of the tin or front of the album. The digital camera took the pics, but I can't seem to get them off of it! (*mutters "I will not hurt the 'puter. I will not hurt the 'puter..."*) In case I can't get the camera to cooperate and let me have my pics, I'll tell you what I did. I used a black Staz-On pad and inked the pad directly to the tin...all over. Then I heat embossed a small white border, a square design, around the sides of the lid. Then I heat embossed a white border, lines, around the sides of the bottom. When you close the tin, it almost looks like a fence! (I didn't plan it that way...but hey, it works! LOL) I heat embossed in white "Happy Father's Day" on the top, and used stickers to add "2005" down in the corner. I even added some bottle caps to the top! There's two bottle caps, both with cardstock circles in them. (I can't remember the brand of these pre-printed circle thingies.) One cardstock circle says "thanks" the other "memories". The tin & album are DH's Father's Day gift. I've been working on this while he's at work & asleep. Geez, being sneaky is tiring! This is my first time to use hidden journaling, and it's all in little vellum envelopes. This definately was a challenge for me, way different from what I usually do, but very much worth the time and effort. Take a peak and let me know what you think! Now it's off to bed....after I hide the tin & album again.

You're welcome... Hopefully you will remember.. I always put things away in a safe spot and then forget..
