Start each day with a grateful HEART.

Good morning! Yep, can you believe it? I'm back for a 2nd day in a row!  I've been having some fun in my craft room the last couple of days so I finally have several things to share--yay!  I got the weekly newsletter from SCS a couple of weeks ago and saw a tutorial for this fun box so I printed it out and decided to give it a go.  It is SO easy to make!  You should give it a try!

The photos are pretty self explanatory but I'll narrate a little.  I wanted a little sentiment on mine so I grabbed out the PTI set called Lovely Layers and picked out this 'grateful' sentiment.  I then chose one of the shapes from the set and used that for the all over stamping although I didn't use a bunch of stamping.  This cardstock is PTI Simply Chartreuse.  (As a side note, I tried their new inks (well, new to me) and I love it!)

I made this for a friend whose birthday was a couple of weeks ago so I added a little birthday sentiment to the top.  I started using SU! whisper white cardstock for inside the box but yeah, it takes WAY to much paper to use cardstock so I cut some of the whisper white but used mostly copy paper. 

And a final photo for you.  I just realized I didn't get a photo of the sides so you could see the other stamp I used.  Oh, well...you get the idea, right?

If you'd like to see another sample of this box my friend Patti made one and posted hers this morning too!  See it HERE.  I guess great minds think a like!  Isn't her card and box just beautiful?  She is so talented!

Well, anyway...I am off to get my day started!  I'll be back--TOMORROW!  I know, can you believe it?  Have an amazing day!
