New week, new challenge over at For Fun

So a week goes by so quickly and it's already time for a new challenge over at For Fun Challenges. And this week we really have a challenge for you.

Make a box or something that holds card to give as a gift.

OK! What do you think? Is that a challenge or what? It can not be easy all the time. This one only gets as hard as you want it to. I decided to go with a simple box made with a little help from my Scoring pal. Others in the team has done other little boxes and bags to keep cards in. Be sure to check them all out. You find my lovely mates in the sidebar.


For this project I used cardstock from Bazzil in some kind of pink and the lovely digi download from Pink Pretticoat "wildrose". Really lovely papers and they went so well with my shabby look. I used a free download for the rose. I am very sad to say that I can't for the world remember where I found it. If someone knew, please let me know so I can give credit to this wonderful piece of art. I made three cards to be put in my box and they all look the same. The lid of the box is decorated with a big bunch of flowers from Wild Orchid Craft, some lace, pearl string, pearls, cardcandy and some other bits and bobs from my stash. Lots of fun building up that as I don't use that much flowers on my cards. They get so bulky and by that expensive to send out. But every now and then, like today.


So don't get put of by this challenge, give it a try and show us what you have done. We would love to see what you can come up with!

Love n hugs
Marie
