I had fun making this little box, which Lachlan has claimed for his room, my children love little boxes to hide their treasures in.
I used the Darkroom Door Wilderness vol 1 Set.
Lot's of layers of ink, embossing powder, gesso, stitching and more embossing powder.
I just love this stamp of the tree line, it was a perfect size for the sides of the little box.
Well the children go back to school on Tuesday, we've had a lovely holiday with friends coming for sleepovers and all sorts of things filling our days ~ holidays are always too short in our home!I stepped down this month from The Stamping Queen Design team.
I still love TSQ, The Queen & the girls on the team...
I will still be creating and working away, but it's just time for a little change for me and time to focus on other things :)
Well my friends, I hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

What a beautiful box Gillian!!
love the stamps!
Gillian, this is just fabulous - I adore little boxes too so stuff like this makes me go ooooohhhhh!
Great to come by and have a catch up with you, its been ages since I had the chance to do that and I've missed you!
Fabulous box, no wonder he bagged it for his room. It looks full of texture. I treasure my pieces that you made.x
I just went back through your blog and I must say you do consistently superlative work!!
You inspire me!
Come by and tell me what you think of my "Macho Men vs Girly Men" if you haven't already!
Gillian, your box brings back nostalgic memories. I loved storing things away as a child and still keep any beautiful packaging that comes my way.
Any wonder Lachlan snapped the box for keeps. It's beautiful. Love the texture of the stitching as a border.
Beautiful box Gillian, no wonder your son has claimed it for his treasures :) Enjoy the change of pace after stepping down from the DT, I have done that in the past and it's good to change things up now and then.
This is absolutely stunning Gillian!
I've said it before - you'll be missed on the TSQ Design Team, but I'll still love coming to your blog to see all the fabulous things you'll be doing! :)
Love this box Gillian! Funny - as my 8 yr old son needs a box to keep his 'crystals' in... and I think I have those stamps (LOL) so I could make something similar! Great inspiration :)
