And on to the projects that I did.

First I made this little box using the Sweet Tooth Boxes Cricut cartridge. All paper used for this is from the Trinity Paper Arts Sincerely line.




And a better look at the top of the box.

  19. I admire you for being able to make a box. I just don't know if I could do it-I love the way they turn out. I picture mine coming out with crooked folds or wrinkles in the lids! Oh well-it is very pretty. I just got the Sincerely pack in my last box of chocolate-can't wait to use it and I might just card lift from your card :-)
