 |  Subject: Altered Box - due 4/30 Wed Mar 16, 2011 1:46 pm | |
|  My challenge for this weekend is to alter a box. It can be made of any material and you can make it as simple or elaborate as you'd like as long as you incorporate paper! For my example, I started with a wood box, painted the edges, then covered with patterned paper. I'm actually going to be turning this into a type of photo shadowbox, but for the weekend challenge something like this is all you need to create! I'll post a picture of the finished project in the gallery and on my blog after the bash! Before:   Painted:  After:   Thanks for looking! I can't wait to see what everyone creates! :-D Entries are due by April 30th, 11:59pm PST Be sure to add the keyword "box1" to your uploads |

| Thank you! :-D Remember, you can use any type of box. It can be a cardboard box, a tissue box, a pressboard box, a wood box, etc. Anything goes as long as you use paper in some way to pretty it up! :-D |

| Here's my entry. It was a box that I'd received a purse in. I completely covered all the surfaces with papers from Papermainia.  |

| Mbox started it's life s a lowly box containing scented oil, until I discoveret would hold Cricut cartridges. http://papersecrets.net/psgallery/displayimage.php?pid=1194 Pretty plain. So I painted the edges cream, cut up a piece of fabric paper b Michael Miller and glued with Bookbinding Adhesive by Club Scrap. I fussy-cut a piece of Best Creation paper.  . There was only enough paper pieces for 3 side, so I used a Dream sticker,some bling, and a scrap of the swirl to cover my end piece.  It is much prettier to see everyday and to carry to crop. Thanks for the challenge.[img]

Awesome entry! Love it! :-D I think a mini to go with it would be fabulous! Maybe there's another challenge theme it would go with so you could enter the coordinating album into another PS challenge? Though the Birthday Bash entries are due tonight, we have until the end of the month to complete entries for the April drawing. |

LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing the before and after. The papers you selected are lovely...HUGE difference! Thank you all so much for participating in my challenge! You guys have really outdone yourselves!  |

I used retired Stampin' Up! papers from my stash to cover the box. I don't remember the name of this collection...sorry.
