ADORE Pillow Box

I had a busy Sunday evening finishing up my 23 Pillow Boxes for a SWAP I entered.  This SWAP features all the new stamp sets in the new Close to My Heart 2012 Spring Summer Idea Book.  I chose the Satmp set ADORE (A1123) and the new paper pack Stella X7147B.  I stamped the image with Tulip (Z2166) and made the Pillow Boxes with the Cricut cartridge from Close to My Heart "Art Philosophy" (Z1686).

Christmas Gifts 2011




Willow's Box

 

I have found it next to impossible not to order the things I love from Close to My Heart!  The problem??  I am over loaded with papers I love!!  So this year for Christmas I tried to make several of my gifts using my paper stock.  I thought I would share a few pics. 



I made Memory Keepers (no longer available :( ) for my Great Neices and Great Nephew:
 


  


Mahalia's Box





Ava's Box

 
 They were fun projects.  I tried to incorporate things and colors the kids love.  It was a great way to use some of my older paper stock.  Once the boxes were complete I loaded them up with trinkets and goodies (complete with Sparkly Santa hats for the girls).  I hope these boxes hold many treasures for years to come.



Axel's Box





Sweet Inez



I have one more box to make (for Inez - she did get the hat!!) and am in the hunt for one more Memory Keeper...  Thank goodness for the Close to My Heart Bulletin Board Network for Consultants...!
