Keepsake box

Good Morning Peeps

Hi everyone...well haven't been on here for a couple of weeks, as I've had a lot of family things going on.  I will be visiting all your blogs throughout the day to catch up with everything everyone has been doing.
I have just completed this keepsake box.  It's made out of medium weight chipboard, which has then been covered with various papers.  Most of them are from the DCWV collection. The feet, and corners and the little knob are from the Tim Hotlz alterations.  The turquoise flowers I made myself, but the rest are from WOC. The pearls and butterflies I already had in my craft stash. 
This is another idea from Laura Dennison, at http://www.followingthepapertrail.blogspot.com/ . I think it makes a lovely gift and can be used as a jewelry box, or just to keep memorabilia in.  I am making a small album to match, which fits inside.   Hope you like it.






Happy Crafting
