Candy wrapper, bag, or box!!
So here's the deal, I generally make cards, not 3-D projects...so I was wracking my brain trying to decide what to make! Well, I finally visited my local craft store and picked up three ready-made boxes (hehehe) that I thought I could decorate. But then I decided it might be fun to make a "Book Box"...and that's exactly what I did!! (Fun...not so much! The "recipe" calls for glue...and I don't do glue!! Toooooo messy!...and sure enough, by the time I was done, I had glue all over my table and my fingers and shirt! LOL!)...and here's my finished product... (I think I cleaned up most of the run-away glue!)....
I chose my very FIRST Sassy Cheryl digi image...she's called A Big Heart...and she's available from Sassy Cheryl's Digis HERE. I just love her adorable little smile...and those big honkin' feet (they look like my own size 11 feet...hehehe)!! Here's a bit of a side view...you can kinda see the "pages" from this angle...
You can find the "Book Box" tutorial I used HERE. I used Very Vanilla (Stampin' Up) cardstock...and DPs are from The Paper Studio..."A Country Christmas" collection...which I distressed with a bit of Tim Holtz Brushed Corduroy distress ink. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts...and ribbon is from my stash. That fun heart die is from Cheery Lynn Dies. I colored this little darlin' with Copics and Prismacolor Pencils...but lost track of the colors...I was blending colors like a maniac...and by the time I was done, there were seriously about a kabillion markers and pencils on my work table! But I have to admit...I sort of like the way the colors turned out. Here's a peek at the inside...I tossed in some delicious Dove candies...think I'll send this to my sister, Dee. (She's a peeker so she'll know it's coming in the mail as soon as she sees this post!!...and it does no good to tell her not to look because, you guessed it, she's a peeker! LOL!)
OK "Sassy" lovers...it's time to pop on over to Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog HERE to check out the gorgeous work by Judy and the rest of Sassy Cheryl's DT! Then you'll want to pull out your own craft supplies and choose one (or more, if you like) of Sassy Cheryl's images (You can find an amazing array of delightful digi images at Sassy Cheryl's HERE) and get busy making your own clever little candy wrapper, bag, or box! And...remember to link your finished project to this week's challenge...because one lucky participant (selected at random) will win a $5.00 digi credit to spend at Sassy Cheryl's.!!
Thanks so much for visiting...and for your kind comments that really make my day! Have a great week...Mwahhhhhh!
