Re-Purposed Pop Tart Box

When my Grand-kids were here last they wanted PopTarts so I thought I can cover the box and make something cute.  So this is what I made.

The black ribbon was wrapped around some towels that I bought.  It was 1 1/2"wide x 4 1/2' long so I still have lots left.  The paper Is Teresa Collins Timeless. I did add a couple of tags that were in the paper pack!  You can see that I used a piece of the ribbon right around the inside of the box.

Here is a photo of it on the shelf and you can see the 2 extra pieces that I used.

I am using it to hold extra phone chargers that I have in case someone forgets theirs.

Spring / Summer 2014 CTMH Blog Boosters New Product Blog Hop

This is my first blog hop so I hope I can inspire you.  You should really enjoy this blog hop we have so many very talented CTMH Consultants out there
I just love this new Idea Book.  I think it is the BEST ONE EVER!  I had a hard time choosing what to start with but I picked the My Creations Journaling Cards Box Z1953.  It is on page 129 and retails for only $5.95.  You can use it for so many things.  I am using it to hold my Picture My Life Skylark Scrapbooking Program cards Z1947 they are on page 69 and retail for $24.95.  What a great program that is you will get 44- 4x6 cards (2 each of 22 designs), 78- 3x4 cards (3 each of 26 designs), 1- 12"x12" designed Cover Sheet, and 10- 12"x12" Memory Protectors (various designs, not shown).

Picture My Life Skylark Z1947

Here is the Box all decorated.  I used the Topiary Mini Chevron Ribbon Z1929 on the Tag that I cut out from the same page that I cut the bird out of and the word Believe, the dragon fly and the postmark too.

Here is the box with all the Picture My Life cards in it.  I love the Picture My Life program and I am sure you will too.  I will have lots more about this coming up so keep checking back.  I cut the bird out from another piece of the Skylark B&T paper and put some 3-D Foam tape on it so It won't be in the way when the box is closed

I did not do much to the back of it but here it is anyway.  This paper is so soft and beautiful.  I love all the colors in it.

The Sweet Leaf Ribbon is not available anymore but I am using up my stash.  That is my New's Resolution.  Consume it Do NOT Hoard it!

What a fun project this was and what a great gift it would make for a friend.  You could also fill the box with a set of cards and envelopes you had made.  How cute would that be?

Have fun on the rest of the hop.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.  I love the feedback!

Another Altered Box

Well Jenn did this box.  She pulled out some of my older paper packs and chose Sofia.  She also used flowers stickers and brads to embellish this box.  We have several boxes that will fit in the cubbies of my Expedite so you can expect to see lots more of them.

 The only thing she used that is current is the zipper ribbon  at the bottom.  I love how it turned out.  This box will hold projects that I want to do.  

Altered Idea Book Box

I was cleaning up my scrapbook room/classroom trying to get more organized for my classes this month.  I had all my ribbon in a tub and it was a mess so I had to stop and figure out what to do with all of it.  I need to see it and I wanted to make it cute too!
I had a bunch of CTMH boxes and I wanted to re-purpose at least some of them rather than throwing them out in the recycling bin.
For some reason I seem to collect a lot of ribbon.  It is one of those things that you can not have enough. Am I right?
Well I garbed a older paper pack (because I don't have any of my new ones yet)!  Maybe you can guess which one I used.
Leave it in the Comments section if you know which one it is.

I left the flaps up and added some cardstock strips to keep the flaps in place.  The Ribbon in from my stash and the 2 felt pink flowers and the 1 grey felt flower were left from my Frosted WOTG kit.  The paper pink flower is from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge
Here it is in my Expedite from Ikea.

Now with the help of my DIL Jenn, off to clean the rest of it up.  Check back I will have more pictures of my scrapbook room as we get it organized again.   UGH  What an ongoing process that is.
Happy Scraping!
