Hi All,
Strange things happen to your mind when you are out of your normal routine! My last day at work was 16th April and, in a way, it only feels like a couple of weeks ago instead of fifteen weeks. I have lost the plot completely with birthdays (to all of you who grumbled, I am sorry - but I think I had a valid excuse this time!) and what month of the year it is.
Anyhoo, I am determined to cram in some crafting before I get dragged kicking and screaming back to work in a couple of weeks. My bestest mate, Julie-Pig, is hitting the big 40 this month and I wanted to do something that little bit extra for her soooo I had my first ever attempt at a Treasure Box.
I used Bazzil Basic pastel card in three shades, pink, soft green and cream. Although the photos don't show it, I have painted the box using H2Os so there is a little bit of twinkle in the sunlight.

This is gorgeous.
I really love it.
It must have taken ages to make.
Love Jules xx
Well hunny, I've not got a clue how you made it but it's amazing! Is it a template? Beautiful! xxx
Hi Mand, no hun, not a template, it's a stamp. You can made four, five or six sided boxes from them. Trust me to attempt a six on my first go. There are two sizes, this is the taller one, and there are about six floral designs. I think they are made by Creative Expressions. I bought mine from Sir Stampalot.

Fabulous Squirrel! I made one of these ( a six-sider) a couple of years ago and was thrilled with it, but you are right they do take some time. I'm feeling inspired now seeing this - perhaps I'll try another one!

This is gorgeous Squirrel - the colours are fab.
I've been dying to know why you call Julie 'Julie-Pig' ??? (I can't be the only curious one surely!)

Heheheheheh, Carol, you are not alone. Between me and himself, we know four Julies so they get their own designation. Julie-Pig got hers from a really terrible but incredibly funny pig joke she used to tell, frequently, when she was a little bit intoxicated! No one else has managed to tell that joke with quite as much enthusiasm!
This is gorgeous hun, love the colours. xxxx
