I am taking a scrapbook with me on my holiday of a lifetime holiday to Las Vegas so I thought I would make a charm for it to attach to one of the rings in its binder and one for Lucy to put on her keying or whatever …..
I found a suitable map image on Google and shrank it down and printed it off to fit two of the 1in x 1in glass squares/tiles, that I bought years ago. I’ve done a quick search and they are easy to find on e-bay and etsy … and not too expensive.
I gave the tiles a light coat of Rangers Glossy Accents, as it dries clear and the finish is usually quite smooth, and stuck it onto the image, leaving them to dry overnight.
Once dry I cut a square of thin silver mirror card on the back to give it a more professional finish and a silver bale, jump ring and lobster claw fitting that can be attached to all manner of things …..
….. like my scrapbook ….. simples!
Totally Love it .. Is your trip soon?

I'm sure you will have a fantastic trip to Las Vegas. I took my mom there a few years ago and we thoroughly enjoyed it!!! So much to see and do. If you can take a day for a bus tour trip to the Grand Canyon I would very much recommend it. It is a majestic sight!!! Just remembering it brings a smile to my face. I can only imagine all the wonderful things you will be sharing with us from your scrapbook!
