Polka Doodles Challenge Week 45 - Box
This weeks challenge was to make a box. I found a old book of box templates I had bought years ago, (sometimes it's good to have a sort out).
I chose a half pyramid shape, but thought it needed a little something on the top, so as easel cards are all the rage at the moment I made a mini one and decorated it with a little owl and flowers. Now I have a card and gift box in one. There was nowhere to put the "Thanks" sentiment so out came the kebab sticks.
This may be a small box but it is cute and as they say "great things come in small packages".

Hi Jo,
ReplyDeleteI have come to your blog via the above challenge from another blog page.Firstly welcome to blog land. I see from you profile that you are in Oxfordshire and are only about 40 miles from me so we are practically neigbours! My village is half in Hampshire half in Berkshire. I love your box as it struck me as being very different from the usual.The little owl on top is so cute.
I'm not a card maker ( I leave that to my daugther )but do just about anything else that is going. Your Tim sounds like a very understanding hubby.
Ooooh... So cute!!!!
