Oodles of Boxes!!

Over the past year or so I have been experimenting with different types of paper crafting besides card-making.  One of my favorite things to make is boxes for the cards to go into and to give them as a gift.  (I would like to thank my great friends Cindi and Diana for showing me the boxes and inspiring me to make them my own!!)  One of my recent ventures was with a black chipboard box that I decorated and plan to make coordinating cards to go in it. 

Here is the black chipboard box with a patterned black flocked paper and a pearl boarder.

Back in December I made my grandmother a card box out of a recipe box and made about 20 cards to go in it so that she would have different types of cards to mail out to friends and family.  After doing that set for her I realized that I had a passion for what I was doing and decided that if the opportunity ever presented itself I would be going into business for myself and selling my product.  Here is what my first box looked like and what has started it all for me...

The box that started it all!!  Its my first and one of my personal favorites!

What I like most about what I do is that I can completely customize the look of things for different people and their likes and interests.  I have more up my sleeve so keep checking back for more!!

Happy Crafting!!
