Shhh...keep this a secret, I made this Altered Altoid Tin Mini Album for my husband's 40th birthday in a couple of weeks.
I used DCWV Glam Rock paper and silver metallic for most of the album. The base is a Creative Memories black cardstock with some black shimmer paper, too. I also used some old Mrs. Grossman's and CM sticker letters.
I used Tim Holtz and Creative Imaginations brads, bling and other embellishments. I just love the bling around the edge. It was Recollections from Michael's on a roll. It is so "metal". I just loved how this turned out, pretty good for my first attempt! I hope he likes it.

"Making of a Rock Star" is the theme and I started with some crazy old pictures and ended with pics from our recent wedding last fall.
Close up of some mosaic stones I used with a cut out from the paper in the center.
I used some paper tape instead of ribbon for a more masculine look.
