Magnolia Summerbox

Today I gave myself a day off. Just a few washes and for the rest I really enjoyed myself making this project (and some more cards...)
Had this idea when I was shopping with my dad for a new bedroom closet and saw this box.
Will make these for every season. Just so loved making it!
Have to put a nice photo in there instead of the stamped image I think.

Anyways... back to the item....
Here's a close-up of Surfer Tilda. Love this stamp a lot! It's so versitle! You can use it on cards, and, altered items, like this box.
Coloured her with my Copics. Just love, love, love them!!


And what's a summer without seashells... so they defenately needed to be in my box.


And here's the Summerbox I made today... Love the shells and other Summer-items a lot.
