Rock til you Drop! Altered Altoid Tin

Good morning!  Today I am showing off another altered Altoid tin.  This one was made for a friend's 40th birthday.  I used Cricut cuts, charms, and some old Rusty Pickle papers.

It's mostly "metal" colors of black and silver, but I wanted to add a pop of color so I asked her favorite...her response Kentucky Blue.  

I  used lots of die cuts, maual and electronic.  I added fancy fibers instead of plain ribbon.

When I began to gather the photos of which I printed many, I noticed a reoccurring theme, many of the photos my dear friend is using this hand gesture (she is also sticking out her tongue in most of them as well)...so I went with it and almost all of these pics have her throwing horns.  I have used the Cricut Rock Princess for this image before, so I knew exactly which images I need to bring this mini together.

My dear friend is also a former smoker and Altoids are her replacement addiction.  She actually gave me this tin and about 15 others to make more!

I doubled the inside pages from previous tin's I have completed.  So I kept the inside pretty free from lumpy embellishments.

I also created a custom box for my mini.  I used my Crafters Companion Ultimate scoring tool for the first time.  It was very easy and I will be pulling this out a lot more in the future.
