One Giant Leap...

...for Mimi, Myself, and I!  I set out to turn a plain kraft chipboard box into a beautiful container for a set of cards, and I did it!  I am so thrilled with how this came together--you have no idea how nervous I was to ruin my materials and have to start over.  I am planning on making more of these and selling card sets, so I am not going to share the details like I usually do, but I will take special requests, and I will post the card set that I make to go inside this box which is a gift for my daughter's speech therapist.  Here are some pics.





I added this tag to the box after I had already taken the rest of the pics--I was a tad bit excited:
I will say that I used the Wings paper and many other embellishments from Close to My Heart.  I am starting work on box #2 right now!  Already have received a special request!  I love it when a plan comes together!  ;)  Am I showing my age?
