Inspiration Box

One of the most creative and gifted paper-crafters I know, Sarah Martina, made her first template and it's just the sweetest little box ever. (Please go HERE to see her template on the Clean & Simple Stamps blog.) I have a real love for working with templates, so when I saw hers I knew I wanted to try to make something with it, too.

I chose to emboss the entire box (not an easy feat, let me just say) and change out the handles using binder clips as the handles with ribbon attached. I saw it on Lauren Meader's blog HERE and I thought it was sooooo cute AND I've been just itching to try it, so thought I'd try it on this box.



I used two of my new Tim Holtz stamps, which I just love! And some of the new Distress Inks as well. I can't tell you how much I adore his new line of stamps, inks, and other goodies. In case you can't read the stamp it says, "Live in the moment and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering". Isn't that fabulous?

Hope that you all have an amazing weekend and live in your moments.

Thanks for stopping by!
