CCM 48 Closed WM

So to mine. I started with an empty box that holds puppy pouches.

I painted it white. Not sure why, I think I might have been going to fusion it and then changed my mind. Anyhow I covered it with some gorgeous Bo Bunny paper that has been sitting in my stash for years.

I wrapped a long length of white stretchy lace fabric around the middle and also a length of purple satin. I made a couple of bows from the satin and stuck them in the centre of the ribbon. Some Tim Holt diecuts and a few petaloo flowers finish it off.

CCM 48 OpenWM I am using it for storing my Bigz dies, as currently they are inside a zipped container and I can normally not be bothered to drag them out, perhaps I will be encouraged to use them more now. I have a couple of these types of boxes slightly larger which I think I will adapt to hold my BS embossing plates cos they are hidden away and NEVER get used!

    I just love projects like this. I am always looking at empty containers and boxes. I think I drive my family insane when I scream "DON'T throw that away!"

    Thanks so much for joining our challenge this week at Shelly's Images.
