{Project of the Week} “Disney Time Capsule”

Good Morning!!

This week’s project is a “time capsule” {memory box}. This box comes in at 14”x14”x8”. 

Well, let me just cut & paste the description from the website:

{This box was made for a client that wanted a “Time Capsule” for her twins’ first birthday. Her party guests were asked to bring something from the year 2010, the year of the baby’s birth. On their 18th birthday, they will be opening this box once again, to see what’s inside! This box is large, measuring 14 inches wide by 14 inches long by 8 inches deep. The theme was contemporary Disney. The colors were primary yellow, cherry red, and licorice black, “with a flair of zebra” as requested by the customer.}

{The bottom is covered  with textured red fabric & white dots -the dots are made of textured heavy weight cardstock- are added, to resemble Minnie Mouse’s skirt.}

{The lid is covered with beautifully textured black fabric & decorated with over 12 different types of coordinating ribbons & embellished stars.}

{The inside is lined with high quality flocked zebra print fabric - hemmed to fit theis particular box.}

{The front is adorned with a silhouette Mickey Mouse head, covered with black glitter & detailed stars. The glitter is sealed. This ensures that the glitter remains on the Mickey silhouette. The stars are looped on wire to give a fireworks emphasis to it. A banner of yellow ribbon streams across the box, lettered with the twins’ names in the classic Walt Disney font.}

The top layer is a plaid print in matching brown, blue & cream. The middle of the can in rimmed with coordinating embellishments - layered textured papers with satin & organza scalloped ribbon. Cream buttons adorn the ribbon to give it extra detailing. The front of the paint can is decorated with three dimensional lettering, spelling “happy easter” in cream heavy-weight textured cardstock & inked in creamy brown. The lid of the paint can is covered in the same plaid paper as the top layer & is embellished with a paper sign all about easter egg hunting. The handle is adorned with an assortment different ribbons, tulle, & fabric matching all the colors of the papers & embellishments.

Whooo Loves You?

Every year, for the past 10 years, my best friend S.B. & I trade Christmas presents. This year, we decided on a DIY Christmas. She had been talking lately about organizing her favorite photos of her and her boyfriend…. so I really wanted to make her a mini book. 

I had been thinking for awhile on the shape of the book I wanted to use. S.B. loves owls. Did I say loves? I mean LOVES owls. And when I saw this Maya Road owl chipboard book I just knew it was for her. Here are some of the photos from the owl book “Whooo loves you?”.
