Yes, I am Back Creating!

 I took quite a leave from creating cards. After Christmas, I chilled a bit while my hubby created more shelving to hold our film Collection. I think we must have over a 1,000 Dvds and we have run out of room so hubby has to create more shelving. The shelving, above, holds the actors we love plus action/adventure/crime films. We had 5 big, plastic tote boxes full of films, which I went through, slowly, dividing them amongst genres but, also, certain film stars.  After getting this all organized and placed in a book, I finally made the keepsake box for my best friend's son's wedding. 

It took a long time because I only had the weekend and often, just Sunday, because I had to do the stupid groceries and clean the house. This was my first time creating something using napkins, braids, fly away sparkly shit that went everywhere! I'm certain my colon will look sparkly the next time I have a colonoscopy. Here are some pics...

This is the interior. I stole..um, I mean, grabbed a serviette from their wedding and glued it into the box.

This is the stuff I used for all the edges on the box but it was very messy! In my hair, pants slippers...never again.

This is the inside of the top of the lid. Their colour was blue, like the cornflower which is my favourite flower. I used a variety of colours, in blues, and glued the photo of them that they used for their invitation.

These are serviettes I had which fit the style perfectly. I took off the 2 layers and glued on the patterned layer onto the box, already painted white. I shaded the edges, added the @*$# glitter, used modgepodge as well as varnish in semi-glossy. The dog is Moose, who is their child, at least, for now. If you can see, above and under the doggie, I have their first initials glued in place. The bling and braids adds the finishing touch. This box, I started in January and finished it at the beginning of June. 

I am back to making cards and getting my mo-jo back. 

Have a beautiful day and week!
