Baby Box

One of the teachers at my school recently had a baby- her first- a boy named Joshua Peter.  I made her an altered cigar box to store baby mementos in.  This was the first altered cigar box I've made "on my own" but I am thrilled with how it turned out!!!  I used Graphic 45's Little Darlings papers, which I absolutely LOVE!  The pictures are so sweet and the papers are wonderful!!!

I am also making a 4 x 6" album to go inside the box.  Well, my wonderful friend, Gloria, actually made the album- she knew I was running out of time (THANK YOU, Gloria!!), but I'm decorating it.  Will post pictures of that once it's finished, which, hopefully will be tomorrow (espcecially since the baby shower is Friday!!!)
