I am having a blast creating these exploding boxes. Here is a fairy themed box. I just love this scrapbook paper filled with fairies and butterflies, and it was a great inspiration to use for the box. The burlap flower on the top was created with a technique my girlfriend Lorraine showed me, twisting and stitching a strip of burlap until you have a rose. I think the rough texture of burlap always adds something to the normal soft choices I usually make. This white burlap was given to me by my friend Rosa, but she said she found it at WalMart. And, Happy Pink Saturday to the visitors from Beverly's link party. For more Pink Saturday posts head to
