For My soap box challenge,I tried to do 2 opposites,and 2 favorites. I I love Primitive,and I love Marie Antoinette.Well, the Primitive did't really stay Prim but turned more Natural.I used mostly Vintage findings(the bird,button,twinesheet music,clipart,and trim).
I also love to play with words.The Vintage key is attached to a grunged tag with the #'2'stamped on front and the word 'Flight 'stamped on the back,'the key to flight'.....I know ,I'm so....anyway...on to the next box...
My favorite...My Husband told me a while back that his family was related to a Cousin of Marie Antoinette's.....Sooo,I imagined that I go through an old trunk ,in the attic of an old house belonging to a Great-Great relative,I come across this little keepsake box....
filled with little mementos,just before she became the Dauphine de France....
Little snippets of fabric,ribbons,and lace gently hold together what she treasured most from her Austrian life....
A portrait of herself in Hunting dress(a favorite of her Mothers)....a beautiful fan from a favortie Doll...an envelope dedicated to her beloved Mops....practice of her New signature....
A past life ,trying to fit into a small box....
Not to be forgotten.....
I hope you enjoyed my Soap Boxes....A Big Thank You to Lisa,for having this challenge and A Big Shout Out to Glenn Abrahamson(the CEO for One),for creating such Wonderful products(I LUV this soap!)...and who's MIssion to help preserve our precious environment with Earth friendly packaging....Please check them out at www.onebathandbody.com leave a comment for Glenn, and you will receive a FREE lipgloss,yummy!

Glorious creations! The Marie box wins my heart.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you are too cool! First of all to make not one, but two amazing boxes, then to track down the CEO of the soap so we can say thanks! I am so going over to leave a comment when I'm done here. I too love the soap & will continue to buy it.
ReplyDeleteYour first box is lovely, anything with birds just 'does' it for me. In fact I had to force myself to not do a bird. That was part of my own challenge to myself. I'm glad you did it tho. The texture of the crackle paint is great. Love the little tag hanging & the twine. A lot going on there.
Now the Marie box, what a little box of treasures. The hinges are my total FAVE embellishment! The image is lovely. But when you open it up & see the little pile of pretties all tied up! OH, perfect!
Thank you so very much for accepting my challenge, this was fun seeing everyone's vision. Lisa
Hi,

ReplyDeleteBath bomb boxes shipping is critical to consider. How your item will be put away? What is the way toward transportation and conveying of the item? It will assist you with choosing progressively appropriate material for your bath bomb display boxes. Additionally, you can choose whether you need internal packaging boxes for additional assurance
