The FAB Debbie P posted the most amazing wee box project sometime back...here....and I KNEW I had to give it a crack. I wanted to give it to my MIL for Mother's day. For this project I broke out the stunning Cottage Wall DSP and used the co-ordinating colours in that to make it work. I had many crafters looking at me put this together...and Debbie you'll be very happy to know it has a HUGE ooooooooooo and ahhhhhhhh factor!!! Debbie used the too cute Magnolia stamps...I decided to play a wee more with my Vintage Vogue clear mount stamps. The also very talented Kez and done some similar things here and here.
Here 'tis....fm all angles...LOL!!!
Fm the top...
With the top popped....showing the hidden calendar and the paper drawer open for those quick notes....
Sorry abt the variance in colour.....I tried to get it all the same but failed badly!! :(
Some close ups of the flowers on the easel and stand.....
...and finally a close up of the feature
...Oh yeah....and I did my first Build-A-Brad!!
The punch and 1/2 pearl combo.............
My MIL loved her Mother's day pressie (thank goodness). I had so much fun making these boxes and I can see many more being made in to not too distant future.
Thanks Debbie for providing such a great project and such inspiration for one of the great procrastinators!!
