8X11 Box

Hello everyone!!!  I hope you had a great weekend.  This week is going to be pretty crazy for me.  I sure hope that makes the week go by fast.  I do plan on going to the movies on Wednesday though.  The plan is to go down and get a haircut and see "Eclipse" with my mom and my niece.  I am actually looking forward to it.

So today I am finally able to show you a box I had made a while back.  I wanted a box to put the Amish bread starter in.  I thought that I would try my hand at making my own box.  I just wanted to use one sheet of cardstock and all my templates use two.  So, I set out to make one.  I did, however, it was too small to fit the starter in.I figured I would continue to make it though, decorate and use it for something else.  I stayed the night at my sisters house Friday night and went to a performance for my niece on Saturday.  As a thank you for putting myself and 3 sons up for a night I left the box for my sister.I started with some kraft cardstock.  Stamped the background image using Wplus9 background stamp using tim holtz distress ink.The medallion was made using spring moss cardstock cut out using a nestability and stamped with another background stamp and then embossed with kaleidoscope embossing powder.  I then used a Waltzing Mouse stamp, stamped on terracotta tile cardstock and then cut out by hand because I do not have the nestability to match.  The butterfly was a sticker I bought from Michael's.I am very pleased with how this turned out and might have to make more.Thanks for stopping by!!!
