Wow - I have so been MIA lately - my apologies but I'm really lacking some serious crafting mojo at the moment!! And of course having the 3 boys home 24/7 doesn't leave too much time for crafty fun!
Anyways, it is another Wednesday and I have my second project to post for the PaperWorksCo July Papercardkit using the fabulous Garden Variety papers again from Cosmo Cricket. These are so fun to play with and perfect for all those summer cards and projects that you need to get done.
Today, I decided to alter an empty cigar box. I ended up having to completely dismantle the box to cover it properly with the paper. It was very easy to do and fit back together again quite simply. I loved this verse which was included in the kit and I thought it would make a perfect little Seed Gift Box to give to a gardening friend or even make a great teacher gift! The papers and embellishments are from the kit (excluding the plain red paper which is from my scrapbooking stash). The metal hinges are also from my stash.
As you can see I've placed some seed packets inside but you could also easily add in a pair of garden gloves and a garden centre gift card.
I am adding this project into a couple of challenges out there:-
Creatalicious Challenges - Something 3D
Simon Says Stamp - 'Let's Get Fruity!!'
Thanks for stopping by today - I really appreciate your visit. I hope my little project has inspired you in some way! I love reading your comments and I really do thank you for taking the time to leave them! I hope you all enjoy a fabulous Wednesday!

Wow fabulous box. I love the sentiment. I know what you mean about crafting slowdown. I can never get to my inspiration room because my whole day is spent driving kids around. Normally it would be my day!! You think you get more time, but NOT!! I can't even get on my comp as they're on it all day. Makes visiting friends blogs hard and you have to catch up. LOL. Lovely project.
Hugs xx
