Tim Holtz Challenge: Altered Box or Tin

This is an entirely new swap for this group---altering any kind of box or tin with a lid and not less than 3"x 4." You must alter it using at least two genuine Tim Holtz products: Distress Inks, Distress paints or stains, hardware, paper or other suitable products for your altered box / tin.

I will be posting some Pinterest or other "How To" links to provide some inspiration for your project, but you can also do a Google or Pinterest search for altered boxes and tins to get your creative juices flowing. Your box must be at least 3" x 4" but can be any shape---several hobby shops have cardboard boxes this size and up in various shapes from hearts to squares, rectangles, and more.

You will also fill the finished box with a few Tim Holtz items or substitutes such as: keys, hardware, ribbon, old lace, photos, or other smaller items from his paper pads or other decorative items. Do not go spend lots of $$$ to get these items----use genuine Tim products that you have and substitutes that you already have, AND you need not send more than 3 items.
