THINK PINK BLOG HOP

This the side front the flap is magnetic

 Welcome to the Think Pink Blog Hop! I am so excited to have you join me here at my first ever blog hop. You should have arrived here from Peanutbutter and Jelly Design’s blog. We are doing this Blog Hop to promote Breast Cancer Awareness, and remind all of you to do your self-exams! Our Sponsor is Sarah, at http://pinkcricut.com and she has generously donated a $25 gift certificate for our Grand Blog Candy Prize. If you haven't seen her line of Pink by Design Stamps, you should check her out.

I decided to create something that has been on my to do list for awhile. I created a Memory Keeper box from Close To My Heart. I covered the box with a paper packet (also from CTMH) that was pink with some other colors in it as well. The paper packet is called Life Delights which is an inspiring name, I think. It had butterflies on it that I liked. I stamped additional butterflies using three different butterfly stamp sets; the first Celebrate Life, the second Embrace Life, and the third Spring Possibilities (all three by CTMH) I then cut them out added glitter to them, pink glitter to the two smaller ones and white glitter to the big one. Then I placed the two smaller ones over the butterflies that were on the paper using foam dots to add dimension to the project. I printed the sayings using my computer and glued them on. I also applied rhinestones all over the cover on the swirls. You can open the box and store your keepsakes in it. I plan on storing cards that I have received over the years from loved ones in it.
