I have to admit, I am not organized with recording my thoughts and stories…I always think that I will remember the little funny moments or the things that my kids say that tickle my funny bone, but I don’t. Life gets in the way and trying to remember what time doctor’s appointments are and who’s got carpool tends to block out all the little memories that are so dear to my heart. I sometimes write down things the kids say on odd scrap pieces of paper, with full intention of filing it somewhere…but it never gets done.
So, I have had intentions of making a little box ( I used the Maya Road Skinny Box and Cards) as a place to put little quotes and stories into. A collecting place. When I signed up for this blog assignment, it was just the little push I needed!
I used mostly the Spring Fling collection. I just love the reds and aquas. I used the Flower Beds and Spring Flowers from the Spring Fling Collection. I accented with Office Lingo Cubicle. I used the Bottom Line paper from Office Lingo on my journaling cards.
For the embellishments I used die cuts from the Spring Fling Collection and the aqua alphabet stickers. I used quite a few stamps also….Doodle Circle (on the “Today” diecut, for a cute little touch) and On Schedule. Fun little stamps!
I added a vintage Bingo game piece, vintage button, wire strung with pearls (for the handle), ribbon and a safety pin! Love that shabby chic look!!
This is beautiful and what a wonderful idea !!!!
Wow Katie!!!! Totally blown away by this!!
Looks awesome! What is the base? A paper mache box or something you recycled?
Beautiful !
I think this is a great idea as well as a superb piece of art work. Looks like the box is some sort of pencil case??? I love it. Thanks for the inspiration.
I used the Maya Road Chipboard “Skinny” Box and Cards. I painted it with aqua and white paint. I then sanded it and inked it with brown ink.
WOW! This is amazing and so beautiful!!!
