Memory Cabinets

I found these great little cabinets at Michaels recently on clearance. I showed them to the owner of the stamp store where I teach and she loved them so we got a bunch for an up coming class. I was inspired by the last Somerset Studio issue and just had to do some altered cabinets. So far, this is what I've come up with. I'm not sure how I'm going to structure this class but I'm sure it will be fun.

This one is my all white wedding them one. I have several great vintage wedding photos that I wanted to use. I also finally got to use some of that great old lace that my friend L. gave me. Yeah!

I love this new Crackle Medium that I used here. It works so well and very fast. No more waiting around overnight to see if something crackles. I'm sure I'll be using this a lot.

For this one, I wanted something darker to frame the main image of this cute little girl. It's my fairy in a box design. :) The cabinets are about 5 1/2" tall and were raw wood.

I painted the one with a wine color acrylic and let it dry. Then I went over it with a black glaze and wiped it off while it was still wet. It really looks like old wood.
