We just started selling products from the company 7 Gypsies! They have lots of unique products that we think you will LOVE!!!
This Project is called “Our Beautiful Children.” Heather made this project using pictures of her kids from their Disney cruise, but this project can be used for ANY occasion!!
  She used 7Gypsies paper: Notting Hill , a 7Gypsies tan folder, 7 Gypsies Metal Edges, and 7Gypsies stamps: Notting Hill. She also used Bazzill Cardstock for the inside note, and to mount the picture.
  I think this project is super cute! And its a great gift to give to those who you love! Its quick and easy!. And uses totally NEW products! Cause who wants to be stuck in the past?
  I just love the Metal Edges, used to create a cute, lace like look, while actually using a totally different medium!! And even though these edges look intimidating, they are self-adhesive and SUPER easy to use!
Overall this project turned out ADORABLE!!! What a cute way to display your loved ones!
Almost all of us have had an experience with Disney that makes us smile every time we remember it. And this new project, using SandylionDisney products!
We started out by using a white, tin band-aid box. I then covered the middle section with different papers from the sandylion Sweetheartline of paper. I then used Sweetie PieStickers, and backed then with a white cardstock. I cut the cardstock to the shape of the sticker. Then i added pop-dots to the back and stuck it onto the bottom of the middle section of the tin. I then took The essentials Black Alphabet stickers and spelt out “Disney Memories” in the middle of the tin. I then added little accents of the Fun Heart Essentials to the tin using pop-dots! And TA-DA your tin is finished!! Now for the Inside!
To the right is what the insert could look like. It is actually an accordion fold. I once again used the stickers from the front of the tin. I used pictures from a recent trip to Disneyland. I printed them as 2″x3″ photos. I then adhered then to the accordion fold, and added Bazzill paper and other stickers!
There’s your finished product!
Its a perfect project to display on empty shelves, or on your coffee table!
