Sample for Monday's class . . .

So yesterday I went to work with my hubby, he has to leave on Thursdays at 6:30 am to drive up in the mountains to work at a rural health clinic. Thursday's is Dental day at the clinic and so it's not super busy and a good day for me to go with him. It is so beautiful up there and the people are so friendly :) I just wish we didn't have to leave so early! I told him Wednesday night to pretend like it was Sunday. On Sunday we get up EARLY to leave for church by 7 a.m. since it is such a long drive. So he woke me up as he was done in the bathroom so I could go shower - it was 0530 aaaaaa!

Anyway, I always pack a bag of stuff to do, crochet, stamp, read etc. This time I took my "sample" box I purchased in August and the new doily DSP called Flirtatious with matching fabric. I watched the video on the SU website to learn the BEST way to put this box together and I tell you the box is amazing!!!

I used the enclosed templates to cut my pieces of DSP to decorate the box. Each side plus top and bottom is different!!! I have to say the jury is still out on whether I actually "like" this paper or not, it is just not my style but I wanted to use the fabric

(which I did BTW) so I will probably recover this box at some time to something more my style (like Paisley Petals???) when I get around to it but for now - TA DA!

I did use the fabric - I tore a long strip and frayed it on both sides then wrapped it around the lid. My intention is to eventually also put ribbon on top of it and put a knot or bow in the front. But it was too funny to have hubby see it and say "did you know it is ragged here" yes, hunny I did that on purpose :)

Maybe on Monday I will decorate my dividers - Have a great day and happy stamping!
