Hello everyone,
Back with another challenge for LITTLE RED WAGON and this week our fabulous Doni is up for the hostess position and her choice of theme is " BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE - anything WINTER
So, while I'm sitting in my craftroom sweating away in our wettest Summer EVER!..I'm also hoping by making winter cards [still] I may cool down..wet and sticky is not nice..
My project..
Another packaging project..I cannot remember now, what was in this box..
Never the less, I pressed it down and it was going to work and be a lot smaller than the other tall box I did..
Instead of trying to paint and colour the kraft coloured box,
I made panels in navy blue cardstock.. and gave them a good white ink splattering.
Added a snowbank and had a leftover moon and it fitted into the background quite nicely..
Snowbank in, but boring.
So I frosted up the edges with white ink and a blending brush..
and yes, I got carried away, but it is okay..
And LOOK!!, thank you all who helped me with cleaning my blocks, I did them all and they have all come up a treat, with alcohol handwash/sanitizer.
Moon in place..
Then added a glitter card stock frame on the front..
Die cut tiny trees and deer, love these little guys and use them a lot at Christmas, might try a Spring and Autumn project using them. you never know.
Trees in place..
Frolicking Deer in place and added a few snowflakes..
Looking down inside.
Beautiful die sentiment in silver glitter card stack and me holding it down flat to show for posting, if I post it, I may not, I may keep it..
Holding it's own and fairly flat..
and standing up, I really like this one, I may shoot off, buy some more stuff to get some more cute boxes, or rummage through the Neighbours recycling, but they don't like that much so better not..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
Don't forget to come over and join in with us with Winter projects..
Luv CHRISSYxx

It's such a beautiful dimensional box, love how the scene sits on the inside for us to peep in for a look. Nice and sparkly and wonderul transformation of a dull box.
I am sending cold weather Chrissy, we've had more than enough!! Love this fancied up box and those dear little deer and trees are lovely. do it, buy more stuff, it's safer than rummaging through the neighbours recycling!! xx
Oh Chrissy this is a keeper, what a beautiful 3d card, its so beautiful. Had to laugh about the neighbours though, your so naughty, haha, can just imagine it...xxx
Gorgeous winter box, Chrissy. Love the building up of it!

Chrissy you're altered box is fantastic, such a lovely little snow scene- what a transformation. Now I'm left with a wonderful image of you rifling through the neighbours recycling- with them banging on the windows and shaking their fists as you leg it with all their empty boxes! You are priceless!!!
xx
Wow, wow! Fabulous. LOVE it. Hugs, Valerie
this is gorgeous and a great idea Chrissy

Absolutely gorgeous, Chrissy!!! I love these upcycling projects of yours. It's so nice to turn things we'd throw away or recycle, into something beautiful.
Absolutely gorgeous and what a way to use a peek a boo box... brilliantly designed xx
such a creative way to do a dimensional scene out of a box you already had, love the winter scene you created, hope it cooled you down a bit :)
I am so glad the hand sanitizer worked for you :)
