Discovery - a little box....

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!

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.

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 :)
