Box in a Bag and My Anniversary



So, today is my 15th wedding anniversary. How about that! How many of you can relate to whatever year you're on and stand amazed that you made it this far? We've had our ups and downs and know that the Lord is for us so who can be against us? We went to dinner, then to the park. We're getting new cookware as a joint gift for each other. We both love to cook and a friend just became a Pampered Chef consultant, so we'll order our cookware next month at our party.
Father God, I thank you for enabling us to continue to work differences out and to move forward in the direction you'd have our marriage move in. I know it's not by our power but yours that keeps us together.

This is my creation for WT178 where you had to use jewels on your card or project. I wanted to try this when I saw it and finally got time to make it. It is really pretty easy to make. I made one for me and my upline to show the new Bella Rose paper. I have to get some jewel brads on this but I was out of colors that would go well with the paper. The directions for this are here.

I used brilliant blue paper for my accents. I also found out that it really didn't matter what color paper you use for the box. Except for looking at the bottom, no one sees it. I tried to coordinate the colors and put pacific point as the color of my box but you wouldn't know it from the picture would you? LOL
I changed the way the outside decorations were done. I used my boho punch and layered the flowers instead of using buttons.

Well, what do you think? I thought they were the cutest things. They were so easy to make too.
Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,

Great job on those bags! They look complicated but if they are really that easy I will try it sometime.
