Facebook Live Class 27 - The Box

I took part in another great class with Claire, My Creative Spirit at the weekend, you might have seen my previous post HERE, where I shared the chipboard pieces that I had cut in preparation for the class - this is the completed box, we put it together in the first class and then I decorated it with my chosen papers.

This is the box all put together, we added magnets to keep it closed, it looks a bit of a mess doesn't it!  Clare goes through how to put everything together and makes one during the Facebook Live.


This is it opened, we added a little ribbon pull to open it up with and two ribbons to secure the lid when open.


This is my box decorated, I used papers from Graphic 45, the striped papers are from the Once Upon a Springtime collection and the floral papers are from the Artisan Style collection, I have had this collection in my stash for ages and decided it is really time that I actually used it.


This is the box opened up, I lined it with black cardstock, it gets a bit busy if you use patterned papers on the inside as well.  It certainly looks a bit different now doesn't it, I'm working on the album at the moment, they always take a bit longer to decorate, I'll share it as soon as I have finished.


Thank you for visiting my blog today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

I love the combination of papers you've decorated the box with Pauline, the floral one is one of my favourites. Still playing catch up and I have this and another 2 that I need to get on and make. Can't wait to see the completed Album.

Hi Pauline thank you so much for your lovely comments on my blog I read your suggestion about contacting the practice manager, I had a bit if a set to with the receptionist and asked to either speak to a doctor or the office manager, I was told that they would ring me.....they did not even have the courtesy to that. One of the things the receptionist suggested before I lost my cool was to bundle my mum and brother into the car and take them to the drive through clinic, can you believe that, I just lost it I am afraid.
