For a special birthday

Hi and I'm back again!  It's time for a new challenge over at the Polkadoodles Challenge and this week we have a great challenge - a creation for a 'Significant Birthday'!

So I decided to make a gift box rather than a card - and a special one for a 21st Birthday Present!  I've used papers from the Polkadoodles Studio 12 cd 'Picknix' which is a fabulous resource for some gorgeous papers and images.

The box is about 6" square.  I've added lots of 'antique linen', 'worn lipstick' and 'vintage photo'. The numbers are on the cd, so I printed them out and mounted them onto coredinations card. 

I've used some of the scraps of paper, added some faux stitching and made a 'patchwork' panel.  Then a seam binding bow, key charm and button to finish.

So do have a look at the gorgeous creations from the DT over at Polkadoodles - there are some great ideas!  And then join us with your 'Significant Birthday' creations! 

Back soon,
Kim x
