I admit. I'm lazy. I may have a ton of things in my handbag but they don't include makeup. I do have a lipstick in there somewhere...I'm sure. *winks* I always marvel at ladies who bring an arsenal of makeup out and do touch-ups in the ladies' room. That takes dedication. *LOL*
Since I only apply my makeup once in the morning, it takes me a really really long time to finish a standard size compact before it expires. I thought I could put one to good use with a little patterned paper, washi tape, button and stickles....
Then I added some beads and photo of my nephews....and now it is grandma's little brag book. She whips it out when she reapplies her lipstick...:)
Supplies: American Crafts patterned papers, Ranger stickles and glossy accents, Fancy Pants star felt, washi tape, corrugated cardstock, button, plastic embellishment, compact mirror case.

What a great idea. You are so talented when it comes to recycling something.
super clever upcycling!

These compacts are super cute, and I love yours much better than the average compact. These little peeps are much more fun than make-up, lol. Love how you used your compact!
SOOOOO cute! LOVE the papers!!! I love that you can create/recreate just about ANYTHING!!!!
I LOVE this. The only way I would love it more is if you changed the title from Team to Gangster Gang. Then it would be the coolest thing ever.
LOVE THIS! This is way better to keep in your purse than makeup :) I lack that dedication too, lol!
