I am telling you this is the easiest Challenge in Blog-land. Just pick one lil' 'ol part of the recipe and use it on your creation. That's it! I used several of Nana's ingredients for Catered Crop Follow the Recipe (FTR) #9. I always start with a sketch, this time using Mojo Monday 185.
I am still stuck on FTR8's boxes theme, so I decided to make a gift box for a boy.
Boys have trinkets too, and never have much to put their stuff in, so voila, boy box! If you want to see what's in the box, stop by tomorrow! ;)
I used the new release stamp set from TSG, Out of This World. Here's the little boy up close..
I just love this stamp set that was designed by Melyssa Connolly for TSG. I used Collage Pauge by Aleene's to cover all the DP. I love this stuff!! (Way better for me than Mod Podge for some reason.)
And here's how I followed the recipe:
