Good Thursday morning! I know I have posted much over the last week, but let me tell you . . . I have been very busy with projects that I can’t show you just yet. I know what you’re thinking . . . well that just bites!
Tuesday evening I had a sorority meeting and had a gift for the outgoing President. It had been in the Vice President’s stuff (which was me) in my basement. It was so tiny (1×1”) I didn’t want to drop it into a gift bag because it definitely would have gotten lost. All of a sudden I remembered the new Spellbinders™ box templates. You can tell I haven’t used them yet because they didn’t come to mind until late Tuesday afternoon.
I went to work quickly and came up with this gift box.
I used a Krylon Gold Leaf Pen to mark along all the edges for some added trim.
See how tiny the gift was . . . wrapped in layers of tissue paper.
Of course I could envision my “sister” keeping this box so I had to make the flower faux porcelain. I think she liked the box . . . she did say it was nice.
Anyway, I have to say that these little boxes are perfect for small gifts. I can see folding up some money and using these as money boxes for Christmas or possibly even birthdays. Before I forget, the box was 2” square when completed, and I’m sure if time is taken you will come up with something better than the above.
That’s all for me except . . . thanks for stopping by!

Oh my gosh I’m really late with my post today. I had to go out for some errands this morning, well before the time of Graphic 45 Blog posts, and it took longer than I thought.
Today on the Graphic 45 Blog they are showcasing a birdhouse I recently made using An ABC Primer.
Please take a stroll over and check it out. Jack and Cat’s project is on today as well, and honestly it took my breath away!
