Recycling Time - Creating a Box for a Boy

Good morning, scrappy friends! Lizzy with you today to share a box I've made for my step Grandson - a place to store all that errr.....'ephemera' that they collect! It gave me the chance to use up some older October Afternoon papers, too. 

I added some background pp from the collection, did some stamping & then colored in with some Gelatos to add depth:

Some Lawn Fawn die cuts - the clouds & sun:

'Stuf'f'' seemed apt for a boy!!

The top has been coated with a thick gloss lacquer to protect it.

 Oh, and a bit of washi around the edges:)

It's a simple project - I'm sure you have some papers with lovely images that are just crying out to be fussy cut & used to decorate a box!

Hoping this provides a little inspiration ~ and as always ~ Happy Scrapping!

Lizzy ♥♥♥

More Up. Up and Away Inspiration

Cannot wait to share with you what the Design Team have created for the current challenge, shall we have a look?

Carol

Used typewriter to type out the words and doodle some words with pen too for the background.

Felicity

I love adding hot air balloons, paper airplanes, planes to my pages. maybe its because I mainly use my little boys as inspiration, but there such fun elements.

I even created a little mini album with them 

Pop back later in the month to see more the album :)

Lynn

I was inspired to use a mixed media format for this challenge.

Note to self: do not do mixed media when there's extreme humidity.
It takes forever to dry.

And I managed to get all the grands on one page.

I used 2 pieces of kraft paper glued together because I didn't have canvas.
The colors are a mix of gesso, paint, and watercolors and alcohol
ink that has been more or less covered because that resulted in disaster in my mind.
The stamp is from inkadinkado and the alphas are Tim Holtz grungeboard
that I've had forever.


Happy Creating
