Our group is turning 6! Every year around this time, we honor our anniversary with a special group project. All Paper Traders Members are invited to participate.  This year, we'll be making altar shrines.  I created mine using a small wood block for the altar and attaching a taller chipboard piece to the back to make the shrine.  If you have a different or more creative way that you want to assemble yours, that's fine too as long as your altar shrine is approximately 7 inches tall by 3 inches wide.  This is a dimensional item and needs to include a little altar where you can display small tokens.  Please keep in mind that this is our sixth anniversary and try to include this element somewhere in your project - for example, I have six tokens on my altar and I also included a chipboard number 6 as well.  Be creative!  There is no additional "theme" to this project so have fun with it... Once you've completed your altar shrine, post a photo in the project album (on the Yahoo site) - your photo must be posted NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 5TH to be included in the exchange. On December 6th, we will randomize the names and assign a recipient to whom you will mail your completed project directly. They should be in the mail no later than December 12th. Have fun!

In case you need a little inspiration...
