This pretty little box is a new kind of two-fer. For one thing, I picked the colors I used to go with the Sunday Stamps weekly challenge. This week, we had a color challenge, Crumb Cake, Island Indigo, and Pink Pirouette.
For the second thing, I saw the cutest little box that Dawn O. made on her blog. She put up a video and explains everything. I made the box and loved them. But then I started thinking that if I changed the box a bit, I could make it longer and put more stuff in it (Dawn says the little box holds two fun size candy bars, and I fit in 4 of the Ghirardelli squares when I made them. However, I want to make some sugared Pecans to put in my Thanksgiving treats so I wanted more room for more Pecans!)
I had to play around with the dimensions, but I did it easily enough! Here's the result. I love it! I stamped the side of the box with the stamp in indigo. The I stamped the flourish from Vintage Vogue, also in indigo. Finally, I stamped the flower in pirouette, added a bright blue brad, popped it up, and Viola! This great box!
I finished it off by adding a pirouette ribbon to tie the box closed and I can't wait to make my Thanksgiving favors!!
Thanks for looking!

What a fabulous project using our colours this week. Thanks for playing along with us at Sunday Stamps. Hope to see you there again soon.
Visited your blog from Sunday Stamps and I love the way you've used a combination of stamp sets to decorate the box. Looks great in those colours too.
What a sweet little box! Perfectly decorated :) Thanks for playing along at Sunday Stamps!
