Laundry time!!!

Well, I had to do some clothes washing to use up the tabs to get the box to alter!!! My daughter - One of the Dragonlettes needed somewhere to store a RAK she received from Paula at Pollys Card Heaven, recently - thank you hun. She supplied a bit of creative direction and I did all the sticking and cutting!!!
 
The papers are from Scrapbooking mad click on the picture below to find loads of gorgeous stuff and better



still a lot of the kits are on sale - some have more than 80% off.
I have decoupaged some of the flowers and birds and added some gems for bling.
I made the name plate using my Spellbinders labels 4 on pale green glitter card. This had already been put through my Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder - can anyone spot the deliberate mistake!!
The letters are from a Crafters Companion Cute Companions CD Rom and then stuck on with foam pads. Then I put the name plate on the front so that the box can still open - VOILA!!!!!!

Now for all the lovely challenges I will enter -

Creative Inspirations and Tuesday Morning Sketchers both want Anything but a card,

Hope you all have a relaxing Sunday evening and see you all next week. I look forward to your thoughts.

Hugs

Bet Alex loves it - it's fab. Love the lettering. I can't see a mistake on it unless you mean the deliberate act of putting the plaque into the cuttlebug upside down - that's not a mistake it's a happy accident. I think you could start a whole new trend!!!
