Well I have to say when I saw this box I just had to make one...it wasn't easy but I got the hang of it and let me tell it turned out a lot better than I could've ever hoped for. I made this one for my sister wedding shower and stuck a rolled up bill in the middle.
Here is the outside of the box. Now the box is quite small but perfct to hide money in :) The gold paper used were scraps from a pile I had sitting just waiting to be used.

The woman who inspired this box Elaine, has a website and for those of you who love surprise type boxes you need to check her stuff out. Here is the
LINK-Magic-box
Here is the inside of the box once the lid is removed...the flowers are nicely bunched before it falls into a beautiful bouncy floral arrangment. I used the cuttlebug folder for a more elegant and subtle look considering the color I chose for the flowers. Each flower was paid much attention too so when you click on the photos you'll see all the detail work.
This picture allows you see the flowers fall away from the center. The center of each flower I used light great crystal rhinestones. The two shades of cardstock I used for the small flower really stood out nicely once I added the glitter.
My sister liked and let me borrow it to put it up on my blog. I had forgotten to take pictures of it before I gave it her. Now she is married as of Oct. 23rd. and is on her honeymoon. I'll be posting a pic or two of my DD and myself as we were bridesmaids at her wedding. I hope you all like the box as much as I do. This was in fact alot more work than I expected but it turned out beautifully....Dontcha think :)

Hi everyone! here is another set I made...the inside isn't finished because I plan on putting an individual saying in each one. I think the CS is SU Truely Thyme...or something like that. I could be mistaken, it's been awhile since I've used this color and these are just darling with the brass ornament charms. I really did enjoy making these...I should've expanded to six a set so I can mix and match if I decide to give them away as gifts or sell them...I'm thinking Etsy.....................................................but! we'll see. I've been doing some research and may start with ebay first...if anyone has any input I'd be glad to hear it :)
I got started early with some Christmas cards that I've been working on with some left over papers and embellishments that were just sitting there. I have a lot of scrapbooking supplies and stuff that I used to sell on ebay that are left ovr and now it time to start relinquishing them and clearing out my room. In the next few post you'll see what I've been doing with just scraps and left over :) Charms! Lots of charms...especially Xmas charms... :-P 
The stamps I used were from the Little Paper Shop. It went perfectly with the style I was going for. Hope it tickles :)
Good morning all :) It's a beautiful sunny morning and wow what I a day I have today. Early afternoon appointment and then my busy day will go on until late this evening. With DD b-day and blog-aversary tomorrow, along with my sisters wedding this Friday I have too much to do, I still have to buy shoes :( Never mind my anniversary and two more b-day's that all land in the first week of November. I hate this time of the year...too much to do and then Christmas arrives to quickly...I barely have time to recoup.
I'm still thinking...I want to celebrate the day properly...It is my DD birthday as well...the countdown is on...I'm sure I'll come up with something this weekend that everyone will like and even might enjoy.
That is what I see when I look out my front window. This big ole tree on my neighbors yard nearly covers our entire front yard in shade in the summer which is fantastic on those hot days. But when fall starts nearing and leaves start falling...they all tend to fall on our yard...the tree is really big and very yellow right now with some green towards the bottom where the sun can get too it...the sun is out and bright right now which makes it sparkle some from the rainfall earlier. I love fall....I just don't like how soon winter arrives after that.
Hi everyone!!! I've missed you all and of course blogging! It's been a tough year to say the least but even tougher this summer. Things are still crazy in my life but schedules are now back to normal and I can get back to my love of card making and stamping! I hope everyone had a safe and fun summer. I wanted to let those who supported me when I quit smoking that I am still going strong and feeling amazing :) I don't feel free from all the cravings yet but going to the gym definitely helps. :))
The card is 6x6 and I used Prima Say It In Crystals for an added elegant flare for both the outside and the inside. As you can see the stem of the flower is the same scroll as the inside of the card. I was going for something fresh and elegant and my friends loved it when the saw I personalized it :) I have a couple more wedding cards that I came up with that I will post this week. Hope you all have a good day :)
