Memory Box with Gina’s Designs

by Marjolaine | Aug 8, 2013 | decor, mixed media | 11 comments

Hi friends!

This week I altered one of Gina’s Designs 5×7 Memory Boxes. I also used one of her Freebie Friday Printable Collage Sheets “Vintage“. I covered the whole box with sheets from a dress pattern and used Mod Podge under and over to adhere it. I also rubbed a layer of acrylic paint to the surface to age it even more.

I’ve always had a thing for boxes, especially vintage ones!

Are you a collector? What would you store in this box for safe keeping?

I’d love to hear from you, thank you for your comments, they are greatly appreciated!
