Scrapbook Box

A few months ago my friend showed me this little box she made. I loved the idea of making a scrapbook page for someone and using it for a gift box...So when I knew I was making a Super Summer Somethings box to send to one of my Cricut Sisters. I knew it needed to include one of these boxes.

I used SU Pink Flamingo Designer Paper on the matting inside the box. and used the Cardstock colors(Chocolate Chip, Cameo Coral, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, & Summer Sun) listed in the Catty that go with the papers to mat and die cut with my Cricut. I was originally going to cut alot of summer shapes but opted for the flip flops( 2") because I know that no matter what my kids do all summer long they are wearing flip flops to do it..

I used my Cricut and "Life is a Beach" cartridge to cut some Flip Flops and to make a Flip Flop Window Card cut from Chocolate Chip. The card is cut at 4 1/2" the flip flops in top are cut at 3 1/2" a little problem if layering on the card itself is figuring out how to cut the layers...for the window cards...I added a little Red Gem stone to dress up the card a bit and help it match the bow onthe box. I put some Kraft paper in the window thinking it would look more like sand.

I hope my friend enjoys adding pictures of her sons and daughters doing fun stuff on this page, as well as all the other things in her box of goodies. I hope she enjoys the bag of Chocolate I filled it with also. Now I am off to open my Box, ooh I love surprises!

Until Later... Happy Stamping!
