After: A treasured gift for a dear friend
This was a birthday gift for my childhood BFF Sherri. She loved it. I loved making it. The red perfectly matches her home office wall color. The "S" is a grungboard piece that was covered with paper and inked. The rest of the pretties are flowers, bling and some scrapbook embellishments. The handle at the top is a wooden knob and the "feet" are beads I had in my collection of stuff for ages. It is proof that I CANNOT throw anything craft related away because I MIGHT need it someday. And I did and love the way they look.
This is really awesome! I love the colors...AND I have a "few" (well maybe ALOT...of those big letters in my stash)...thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHello Carolyn,

They do are perfect for a project like this.

Ahahaha! I don't throw anything away either because I know I will need it some day! Case and point, I have the exact same piece of patterned paper you used on your box; I've had it for ages and haven't been able to muster up enough courage to use it for anything yet! Love your project, very pretty and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your box, great colors. I also have several sheets of the paper that I haven't been able to use. I think I just found a use, lol. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn This is such a pretty little box. Great idea for those large grunge letters too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous art - loving the big letter, cool idea to use them :O)
ReplyDeleteGReat way to use those large letters! I just happen to have that same box, however mine is shades of bright yellow with lime green trim. I may just use some of those large letters on mine!
