Awhile back I signed up for a Birthday Shadowbox swap that Amy Powers was hosting. We had to decorate a Tim Holtz shadow box for our partner. I was so excited to find out I had Debi from Life in my Studio as my partner!
Unfortunately with being sick, and then terrible Florida raining weather and cloudy days, I was not able to get any photos to share sooner. BUT today the weather seemed alright for the moment, so I quickly snapped a few photos to share of this lovely creation.
I was so excited when Debi's box arrived! I could not believe how pretty she wrapped everything! Even the box it arrived in!
She did so many cute things! I loved the sprinkles in the tiny bottles, and the adorable cakes and candles! And the ballerina was glittered! So so sweet!
Thanks so so much Debi!
Here is the box I made for Debi.
I painted the boxes different shades of light pink, aqua, and white.
Some of the boxes I glittered, and some I did not. I made a little cake on a stand out of vintage buttons.
The little present was wrapped with a piece of vintage wrapping paper.
I gave it little feet from vintage wooden spools, and a satin pink ribbon at the top. I thought this way it could be stood up, or be hung on a wall.
This was so much fun! Someday I would like to make another.
omg too cute! :D
