I'm not sure what exactly happened, but Spring seems to have retreated into hiding...brrrrrrrr. My girls are on vacation this week, I hope it warms up some!
This week's Just Us Girls Challenge is being sponsored by My Time Made Easy, LLC. Lauren Meader, the owner, gave the girls on our team the new 'Slip Cover' template to work with. It's scheduled to be released on April 1!
This box is quick and simple to put together, and can really be put to so many great uses!
My intent for this box is for it's traditional intent. My plan is to make some post cards (which I ran out of time for) for a change of address for a friend who is moving. I used the new set by Becky Oehlers, called Wonderfully Whimsical - sold by Papertrey Ink. The hill and the house are pieced onto the sky 'layer'.
I layered some Lemon Tart and Hibiscus Burst ribbons around the box, and then added some ribbon loops to the back of a big white vintage button.
I know I would have LOVED if someone did this for me -- this box should hold a good number of postcards too, no need to enclose envelopes!!
So won't you play along?? There's a free template up for grabs if you do!! Be sure to link up your project on the Just Us Girls post to be eligible :)
We're off to a birthday party today -- I only wish it were a *wee* bit warmer. Then tonight we are planning to participate in Earth Hour - how about you???
