There's A Nap For That! Art Impressions


Seems we are all working very hard at work these days--- so I made this cute little box for my boss---a little something to cheer her up! I got this stamp from Inspiration Emporium, but it seems it is out of stock now. This is one of those projects where I worked a little here and a little there until I got it finished last night-finally!

I made the box with a Silhouette cut file from Jamie Lane and added some fun little flowers to tie in with the designer paper! I paper pieced her clothes, I added the stamped image on pop dots on top of the box.


Some Silhouette talk here for those of you that have one:

The box is resized so I could use 8.5 x 11 cardstock for the box base. I think the box itself is  around  4.75 inches square and the top is 5 inches square. It is a little over .75 inches tall, a perfect size for little candy treats too. I  also did an internal offset and cut a piece for the designer paper on top. I sized a banner piece to fit my sentiment and also added a  few flowers.

Here it is opened up with a few office supplies inside...and a little treat tucked  in there too that you can not see!

Well that's it for me today-see you soon...Coming up is a Monday House Mouse post and Tuesday is a Creations by AR Blog Hop...fun stuff!!!

Art Impressions just cracks me up! Where did they get this picture of me? I'd love to leave this on someone's desk at work. Girl needs some NoDoz in that box. Great project!
