can someone explain how to make a shaker box?

I saw sissix and how much it costs!!!!

but ebay seems to have some good deals ($150 for machine...capital...lowercase...adn numbers)...I may wait a bit though

I have to get the page laid out...to decide on the fibers...its for our dog who loves to sunbath at the beach....

I think the sizzix is the ONLY thing I don't feel I will ever need.

I don't really use die cuts too often (once that I could think of).

If I need one - Michael's sells them, you can do a request at LM or scrapbook stores will usually let you use there's if you buy cardstock from them.

I would rather spend the $150 on specialty paper or an amazing album. JMO.


ETS: That is so cute about Elvis sunbathing!!

I LOVE that shaker box Erica!!

GREAT JOB!!

Looks like I will have to start making soime huh??

christine...good point...I'd be better off just getting stencils...I'm not a die cut user - so I guess it doesn't make sense...

lisa..it is really pretty easy...it just has to be the right theme...



so what do you guys think about the lettering?

I could move the 'each' to be horizontal...


or I could print out a different style of lettering

You cut out those letters??

I think both words horizontally would work better - since each is a word some people may not get it.

they are MM letters...and while very sticky...they are also movable..

i wasn't sure if it looked right vertical...and I kept asking John...but he has no opinion

so...all my work...DH spilled taco sauce on it!!! (he opened a packet and it flew over and landed on the shaker!!)

he offered to make it again himself...but I'm a little scared to see what he would do...

sorry to hear DH ruined it - but at least he felt bad!

I'd too be afraid to see how DH would try and replace it!

Ugh sorry to hear that!!!!!
I had to throw out something I did last night and it is sooooooooooooooo FRUSTRATING!!!
