More Than Favors Wacky Wednesday

For The Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge Please Click Here.

Hello Friends,

Welcome to Another Wacky Wednesday, This week at More Than Favors, The challenge is to create a Gift Box. And once again I was challenged on my creativity.  I have seen some vintage Hat Boxes but since I have just recently thrown myself into the vintage look, I did not have all the ingredients on hand. So I made do with what I had. This is what I came up with. 





Recipe For Octagon Gift Box:
DCWV " Lady Couture " Paper Stack
Bo Bunny paper in Shabby Princess and Beautiful Life
Tim Holtz " Grunge Board "
Tim Holtz " idea-ology " Adage Tickets
Tattered Angels in Chocolate Covered Cherries
Tim Holtz Distress Ink In Worn Liptick and Brushed Corduroy
Catseye Chalk Ink in Bronze and Black
Stickles in Stardust
Recollections Pearls
Crinkle Ribbon
K&Company Stick Pin

While making this box, I decided I need to go on a flower shopping trip to get some more vintage feeling flowers. I think some nice cream and light pink roses would have been perfect. There now on my shopping list :)

So come play with Paula and us girls this week at More Than Favors. I know she has some fab prizes for her challenges!

Hearts and Crafts,
