Box fun

Boxes are so much fun to alter, I think. I´ve altered more boxes than anything else, I love boxes because they are functional, look great and you can add tons of things to make them look pretty, of course the main recepient of my boxes is Diana, I know she loves her boxes and she uses them all.

This is a box I altered this weekend, first I created my own acrylic paint color I used a very light aqua and added a couple of dorps of gold metalic paint which gave the paint a very shimmery look, then I used Doodlebug´s Kitty Essentials to cover it and embellish it.

The sides with the pink solid cardstock are stamped with embossing ink and some cats just to give it some cute image.

As you can see the top has some space to put some heavier thicker embellishments that I think are going to be a couple of quilled kitties, somethink like this, but in the same colors as the box so it looks cuter.

This little box I made it with K& Company Brenda Walton Sweet Talk Heart Stripped Flat paper, and I´ve never been so careful matching the lines and making it pretty, then I just rubbed some red and pink ink on the edges and stamped the top.

And the tiny chest is covered with K&Company Urban Rhapsody paper pack and is adorable paper with butterflies, that pack is one of my favorites right now I think is super cool and edgy and vintagy.

For New Years Eve we are going to Julia´s again, Christmas was so much fun we want to do it again and this time I´m making chamoy margaritas, chamoy is a sweet-spicy-sour paste, liquid or powder that most of us love to eat, you can find it in gum, put in on fruit and even find some with ice cream, Julia and I love it, Diana despises it.

Need to print tons of photos of the holidays so I can get started making layouts, specially since I joined the Calendar Girls at 2Peas. Also have huge plans of doing some decoration in the house, wich is tricky with our monsters, I mean cats.

Be safe and stay warm, off to post comments on my favorite blogs!
