Well it is MY turn this week!! How very exciting! This is completely intimidating…since I hope I do “me” well! Kind of weird! So here was the challenge set before us this week from Sharon:
Overall style: Clean, Crisp, Classy
Embellishments: Beautiful Ribbon
Creative License: Make any type of 3D or Home decor item, if you so choose
Bonus Points: Incorporate some element of music or song into your project.
by the way…if you want to hear my sing you can do so by going to my myspace music site if you want.
That all is very “me”…so I got to work!! First of all, my favorite ribbon to use is Papertrey’s Satin. It is just flows so beautifully and I adore the vivid colors. So I thought I would make a nice box to use for long matches. So…a mtachbox, a great Christmas gift for all of those fireplace loving people! I made this beautiful box though and realized I was all out of matches for the picture!! Oh well, at least I will have a place to put them when I get them again. We love to have fires at Christmas and it has become quite the tradition, so here it is! I even added a bit of a musical element in there!! SEE??? Thanks for playing with us! this has been quite the little honor to be C.A.S.E.D!!!
Take a look at what the other girls did!
and our guest stamper for the month…Darlene Pavlick!!

You are too funny Becky (and VERY talented)!! I love that you are casing yourself … gives us one more of your lovely projects to “oogle” over! This is fantastic! LOVE the red ribbon streaming down and that tree caught my eye the very first time I saw you use it on a card!! This is just an awesome gift idea … this would be perfect for my kids, as they always have a fire going in the fireplace over the holidays.
Thanks for the warm welcome … I’ll enjoy being even more inspired by all you lovely ladies throughout this month!!

I joined in the challenge in your honor but I couldn’t even begin to match your wonderful work. I gave you tribute by posting my three little tenors. Well Ok they are really snowmen but I hope that counts. Pat
