Day One~Anything But A Card…

Posted by Jen | PaperTrey, projects | Monday, January 21, 2008

Yep, that’s right. No cards here. Well, at least this week. All week {Mon-Sat}, I am going to feature a little of this and a little of that; it just won’t be in the form of a card. To start the week off, I am showing my Friend Heart Box. This is a small paper mache box that I covered with pink and brown American Crafts paper {have I ever mentioned that I LOOOOVE their paper!?!}. For the top of this box, I scalloped some Whisper White paper with my corner rounder punch and added ribbon to make a “frilly” type edge. The flowers are from Prima and the sentiment is from PaperTrey. I also got the bottom “flower” instructions from Nichole’s blog. Although it is not really captured by the photographs, I like the depth that it gave to this project. Of course, I had to add some bling blingl The center of the flowers is a Making Memories brad and the “i” is dotted with a Swarovski crystal {which I foudn at Hobby Lobby for 50% off!}.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another project and some pictures from this weekend’s stamp fair. I met another Dirty Girl Alum there!! :)

    Oh I so love this. I’m a fan on American Crafts paper as well. Such good quality. I’m getting some tins from PaperTrey this week and I may have to be *inspired* from this!!! :0)

    This is so lovely, I have to get some of these, that means a shopping trip out of town since we don’t have anything here or near me. Hmmm.
