Title…. What’s in a Title?

EVERYTHING!!!! But for the life of my I couldn’t think of anything good to write for a title. Alas I am no writer. I wish I was but that is not one of my talents and I am okay with it.

I finally finished my friend’s Birthday present. It’s very simple, just an altered note book and a cute paper box with a bottle of Prima’s inside it. I also gave her some scrapbook paper. She recently moved here from across the world where supplies were outrageous!!!! So she is still collecting all the “fun stuff". (Of course who isn’t still collecting it?)

 

I found the notebook and Dollar Tree it came in a 2 pack. I made the box from a template found at Hemidemisemiquave. I created a lid for it.

Bunny Boxes AGAIN

Well it's been over 3 weeks since I last posted!!! I wish I could say a lot has happened....I guess it has but not a TON worthwhile to post.

Last night I had about 9 ladies over to make the little bunny boxes and it went GREAT!!! I found the perfect paper that was both boyish and girly for the boxes by Basic Grey, the ribbon is American Craft, I love their ribbon!!!!!

By some of the comments last night you would have thought I had invented the wheel or something over a little triangle box with a bunny head, truly I do not deserve that much credit. I just borrow some one's idea and tweak it is all! It was a really fun night and it's nice not to have all those piles of supplies taking up my craft space anymore that is for sure. Today I started a new project, with all that new found space I discovered, and I hope to post it soon :)

Card Patterns Sketch #4

I really enjoyed making this card!!!  I loved this sketch it just came together for me so I had to make another one!!! Check my next posting to see it, they are very different and I love how they both turned out. I will keep this sketch in mind in the future for sure!!! I had to make a matching box it was just so cute!

Color Inspiration #43

This is my take for Kwerner's Color challenge of the week. I have to say it didn't turn out as I had planned :( I had intended to do the brown on the bottom of the box but ended up cutting my Green part smaller, oh well that's what happens in a rush right? you end up with something totally unexpected. I do like how it ended up and maybe I'll make another the way I originally planned.
I didn't realize until after I was almost done making it but this pattern for the oragami box is actually from Kwerner's site. I thought it was pretty ironic.

My latest obsession is making boxes. I have never made any before this week but I've been seeing so many cute ones on different blogs I had to try my hand at them. So please be kind when looking at them.

I decided to make one to hold all my tools. I found the inspiration for the tool box here. However I modified a template found here to make the actual boxes. From there I just couldn't stop making more! They are very fun and addicting to make. So... I decided to try my hand at designing my own template and made one up to hold all my Cuttlebug folders. Then of course I needed on to hold my mini folders. I will have to make one to hold my small tools as they will get lost in the bottom of the tall one, I think I will make it the same size at the mini Cuttlebug one. 

 Hubby had to go back into work tonight so I stayed up late finishing them off. And then I did some cleaning while there was no one tugging at my legs!!! The kids can sleep through the noise of cleaning up but Hubby wouldn't be able to sleep in very well with all the noise.  So I guess in the morning I'll have to hang out downstairs....hmmm create more boxes!!!!

Well here they are....let me know what you think ;)

Here is a close up of the large Cuttlebug folders box. If I get enough requests for patterns for the next two I will write them up. I took notes!!! Not that anyone else would understand them yet :)

I made little dividers for this one to separate the different sets. I think the mini tabs are so cute!! I love anything mini though.

I can't decide if I should cover the other sides of this one or just call it good and leave it blue. What do you think?
