Hello! Last weekend my friend Tmika…Scrapdaworld on YouTube…came to visit. It was a great weekend of shopping, crafting, and just hanging out! Here we are before we hit the stores…
Of course Tmika came bearing gifts. She made some awesome handmade embellishments and brought me animal print papers to craft with since I love animal prints! But she also made and brought me what became our theme of the weekend…a shabby chic box and it is lovely…
Then we attended a Prima Class taught by Frank Garcia. Here is the shabby chic box and tag mini album we created in class…
And lastly, I made a little shabby chic box to give to Tmika with some crafting goodies…
We had such a great weekend! Thanks Tmika and I can’t wait to do it again! Be sure to check her channel out on YouTube if you have not done so before. She is an awesome crafter!
This week for The Cutting Cafe, the theme was boxes! We had a choice of three files to work with, the Card Organizer Box, the Copic Box, and the Dresser Box which I used. This file was so fun. I decided to try giving it a masculine feel but I am going to make another one and really girlie it up! Here are a couple more views…

I used a specialty paper (really it is plastic) from Michaels to cover the box and drawers. The knobs are from balsa boxes from Michaels. I actually made the little lamp from a file from SVG Files. I just shrunk it down to 30% of the original size and that worked perfectly! The mirror is Tim Holtz’s mirror paper. It works like a charm.
