Saving Some Money In A Maya Road Piggy Bank!

Today we have a special guest designer post from Jamie Dougherty of Ramona, CA. She made a very unique Mailbox Piggy Bank using our Airmail Mail Box! Check out this sweet creation:

Here is some design information from Jamie:

This unique mailbox is a piggy bank!  The chipboard on this piece is thick enough to use Mists and paint on and it won't buckle or fall apart.  And it still is thin enough to cut and alter with ease.

Maya Road Air Mail Box

Patterned Papers

Glitter

Mists

Pearls

Glaze

Wooden thread spools

Wood stain

Mirror for the base

Black and White Ink Pens

I stained the wood spools and glued them all on top of each other. Then I sanded the mirror in the center and glued the spools to the mirror. (Sanding gives the glass texture.) (Tip) to strengthen the stack of spools  use a wooden dowel down the center.

I then sprayed the Maya Road AirMail with Mists. Then you can cut a slit in the top of the mail box. The front flap fits tight enough to hold in money without popping open.  So it makes a cute little bank.

With the material the Air Mail Mail box is made out of you don't have to worry about it pilling and becoming messy. It was still smooth enough to doodle on. 

The flowers are made from the patterned papers.

You can save the album inside for a second project!

Thanks for sharing this with us, Jamie!

You Make My Heart Sing Mini Album

We wanted to share with you today a guest designer post. We saw this album that Liz Qualman had posted online and we thought you would love to see it too!

 

 

Here is a list of the Maya Road products which she used:

Chipboard Accordian Album
Birds w/ Cages Mini Chipboard Set
Sheer Journaling Card Set Black/White

Liz also provided us with some tips on how she completed this album:

"This adorable Maya Road chipboard album is such a cute way to stack and display your pages.  It's the perfect size to decorate with paper and embellishments or just cover the whole page with a 4x6 photo.  The Maya Road sheer cards are also a great size for this album to include journaling.  I was able to combine the some bird papers along with the mini chipboard Birds w/ Cages set from Maya Road to show how much I love my own little bird.  On the cover, I colored the chipboard bird cage with brown metallic creme chalk then added a felt flower for some texture.  The photos of my son walking are wallet sized and I was able to fit three of them across the page to add some interest and the appearance of movement to my pages.  All of the products on this album came in the October Album Kit from My Creative Scrapbook."

Enjoy!
