Off the Page with Rose Cafe!

Happy Sunday! For my "Off the Page" project, I decided to do a little altered tin full of quotes. I've had this tin for about 10 years now, maybe? I bought it when I first started scrapbooking - just a white tin with an accordion folded white cardstock. You could probably still find something along these lines at Michael's in either the alterables section or the cooking section.

The large sticker from the sticker sheet fit perfectly in the mini, and makes the cover page of the mini:

In order to reinforce the folded edges, I used BoBunny washi tape, which made the flimsy paper very secure. I also used paper to decorate the inside of the tin, as well as the outside bottom (not shown):

Here are both sides of the mini album, unfolded:

As you can see, I distressed all the edges and added quotes and embellishments from the collection, as well as some BoBunny bling. For the quotes, I turned to my Pinterest board where I pin quotes I like. I hand wrote them in pencil, to make sure they fit properly, and then traced with purple sharpie pen. Then I erased the pencil marks. It was so fun searching for the perfect quotes and a great excuse to browse one of my favorite Pinterest boards :)
The album itself was actually 9 circles long, but I trimmed it to make sure it still fit in the tin, since I knew I would add dimensional embellishments. Here are all the pages in more detail:
