A Little of this and that

 Sometimes we have to compromise and create one item for a couple of reasons!!!  And that is really what this turned out to be...  I needed to create something for SIMON SAYS STAMP AND SHOW  which the challenge this week is something for HIM... !!!  Well that is a good challenge for me... as I always have a hard time creating for the hims in my life... I have four that I am always looking for ideas to create something special

 for... 


Okay... so that is #1 project... 
Then I am teaching a class on June 9th  (click here for details ) and needed a few more samples... as I love to take a lot of ideas to class... so this project can and will be one of the items...  

 Last year at Christmas time, I decided that I was going to make a few gifts each month and that way I would not be swamped in November and December and could teach longer into the season... 

 So this had to be a gift for one of my HIM's on my list...  


I started to think and finally came up with the idea to make a metal box...  I love making these... it is not the first one... and will not be the last one.. 

 I used a lot of embossing folders...and had a blast deciding which ones to use...  


Black alcohol ink and a little metal and two sheets of paper and I had a wonderful little box...  with all three things crossed off my list...  

 I think you can most likely recognize the embossing folders that I have used... and then I cut them all up...

 To create on awesome box for ????  oh well... if I tell you they will see who it is for and it will not be a surprise...  


LOL..  


I hope that you have had a nice 4 day week-end...  to all the people in the USA and that you are all ready for a fun filled week...  


I know that I am... I even got my studio cleaned up and organized... and I LOVE it... of course I always say that after a major move of STUFF..... but this time I have all my medias together...  all my stamp pads, inks, re-inkers, markers, misters etc  etc... all within an arms reach... even my oil pastels... had to find them so I could put them out... LOL.. talk about obsessing... I love it... 
Well have a fun week... see you tomorrow most likely...  
and thanks for stopping by for a visit...  
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie
