HAPPY MONDAY YALL!! It is cloudy, gloomy and grey outside and raining! BUT It is nice and bright and flowery in my craftin studio this am!! I worked on the Just Us Girls challenge for the week which was to make a 3D paper project! My mom is a huge inspiration to me she is such a strong, loving, caring, patient woman that I decided to make a little something for Mom!!
I traced a mcdonalds french fry box out awhile ago to put cookies in for halloween, another new project!! LOL yepper I have a definite weakness for MikkyD's fries! love em!
This was the perfect size for a homemade bar of sweet smelling lavender soap.
My mom used to be an avid sewer, when I was growin up she made alot of my clothes and of cource all our halloween costumes thru the years, with that in mind I took an old pattern I had and cut a piece to make the little medallion behind the chipboad flourish. I accordian folded a long strip of the pattern and machine stitched the center then puffed out the edges and adhered it to the box. A pearl hat pin is adorned with a few tiny lavender colored glass beads and also a few tiny sprigs of fresh lavender are added for more scent.
I then constructed a box using some great Paper Studio floral print cardstock. I had to add the bling using PRIMA's pearl flourish and more sprigs of fresh lavender. The mother stamp is by PaperTrey Ink and is just cut out in a tag shape. Some pretty sheer ribbon and light pink velvet ribbon are wrapped around the box, and this pretty glittery butterfly is resting on the bow.
I had some magenta colored fun fibers so added a couple of bows which blended just in with the colors here.
The handle on the box is just some of the same sheer ribbon wrapped around a piece of thin silver wire to hold its shape, a button makes this complete.
