I have made a fun project to share with you today using this weeks Midnight Madness sketch challenge #36. I started with a “Cardboard Small Kit Case” I got at a garage sale for $1 I had bought two of them and I thought what a great little craft for my two kids to make, color and store their treasures in. Shhhhhhh I could not resist and I used one for this project…bad mommy, bad mommy!!! LOL Just joking…It really is not a big deal because my kids have enough crafts to last them till they are 18 years old and then, they are taking it all with them as I nudge them out the door! LOL I used a wonderful image from this months sponsor
“D’Amore Allure” I love that name don’t you? Anyway, I started out by sponge painting the box with yellow water color paint. I added some dabs gold Encore ink on top off that, then stamped a few back ground stamps on the box. Once I had the base of my box done, the rest just fell in place using the sketch. I added these fabulous pearls I got from
“McMahon Five” That is it, and now to figure out what treasures "I" will be storing in it..LOL
Last, I would like to share and invite everyone to follow me on my newest adventure.....
I am always looking for new ways to express myself and I invite you to come along on my newest journey through a whole new creative world to me. There are so many areas in the craft/art world and I am like a kid in a candy shop wanting and willing to learn as much as I can. So if you would like to explore some new territory with me, click

ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful, Priscilla! Maybe you could still give this to your daughter when she gets a little older, and she can put her jewelry, trinkets or other treasured keepsakes that she wants to keep close to her. You always come up with the coolest ideas.
