French Vintage Tea Party

Good Day All,

I have a fab post today I think you will enjoy. I was selected to be a Guest Designer this week at Scribble an Scrap Blog & Challenge for Challenge #19-Anything Goes.  I'm so excited to be chosen to be a GD at Scribble and Scrap she has wonderful vintage photos, digi stamps, papers and other items as well. And the DT well they have fabulous inspiration for you to just Oooo and Awww. Please go check them out and join in the fun. We can't wait to see what you create. :D

So I am sharing my first Vintage Box. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, cause as you know you think of one thing and it ends up looking like something else. Right?? Well this turned out better than I expected. I hope you all enjoy it and I have lots and lots of pics. And the big surprise - You will never guess what I made it out of?? I'll tell you at the end. Lol

Here we go:

  3. Oh, a Kool-Aid box has never had it so good. What a lot of work, but what a feminine charmer you turned it into. Thanks for taking the time to detail how you made the butterfly. That really is one of the most beautiful butterfly embellishments I've ever seen. Thanks for the inspiration.
