Paintbrush Box

 Hello friends! Have you seen the Dimensional Paper Cuts 3D Paintbrush Box at the Silhouette Design Store?

Pocket Full Of Sunshine

Anything Goes this week for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Anything? Yes, Anything! We want to see your creations! This week, I played with the Crafty Cutts Slider Box Die and created an imaginary world where the weather is always wacky.  Although lately, that could be just about anywhere!

All of the papers and embellishments came from the Hero Arts Fresh Cut line. loved adding the weather tidbits and transparencies in the tiny space. It's little enough to be tucked in a pocket. Yes, a Pocket Full of Sunshine.

[Chorus]

Take me away (take me away)

A secret place (a secret place)

A sweet escape (a sweet escape)

Take me away (take me away)

Take me away (take me away

To better days (to better days)

Take me away (take me away)

A hiding place (a hiding place)

Now that I've got that song stuck in your head, I want to see what you've been creating.  Link your project to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge  blog for the Anything Goes challenge this week and you could win a $50 voucher to Simon Says Stamp.  We give away one each week to a random participant.

Autumn Leaves

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus

Anything Goes this week at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog, so I took this opportunity to create a miniature leaf installation.  I love walking outside in the Autumn as the leaves swirl around in the wind.  But I don't like the blisters that come with the arduous task of raking them out of the yard.
Watercolor paper was stamped and stenciled with distress inks and paints, and then formed into a box using the Martha Stewart scoreboard. 

The board comes with instructions to create boxes and lids of all sizes.  (Which will be handy for the upcoming holidays!) My faux leaves were die cut, inked, and then hung from the box top.  The leaf variations were created with household plastic wrap. The bottom of the box is covered with inked tissue paper cut into shreds with my fringe scissors.  Simple, but colorful!

Anything Goes this week, so be sure to upload your latest project to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and you could be our latest weekly winner of a $50 gift voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store.  Your project could also be chosen as one of our weekly featured designs.  Cool, huh? 

Happy Stamping!
