Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge 20…BOX IT UP!

Welcome back!

It's half way through November (and 5 1/2 weeks until Christmas EEEKKKK)
and time for another challenge at 

Challenge 20:
BOX IT UP
Create some sort of altered box.
You can create a box from scratch or alter a pre-made one.
Your box can be made of paper, wood, chipboard, plastic or metal.
As long as you dig into your hoard to decorate your box you meet the requirements.
The box may be a decoration, a gift, a gift holder…whatever you decide, just
BOX IT UP!


This challenge the Design Team was given wonderful boxes by
          Eileen is a Designer member of the Craft and Hobby Association and currently serves as Vice-Chair of the Designer Council. Eileen is from the Washington, D.C. area where she and her husband live in their empty nest. The newest member her family is a vintage camper, which she is driving cross-country, teaching and crafting all the way.
      Eileen has designed a signature line of ScoreBoards™ Sizzix dies, which includes the every popular Artist Trading Blocks dies.
     Her tenth Sizzix collection was released in February. 2014!
This is the box I created using one of Eileen's boxes.

All sides are covered with art, hearts and little inspirational phrases.
I even dug into my hoarded stash of Gelli Print scraps to finish it off.
I can rotate it on a whim, always changing what I am sharing.

Feel free to scroll as I have tried to share photos from almost all sides…
