You challenge this morning, should you choose to accept it (thinking Mission Impossible here...only this one is anything but impossible)is to use your scrap supplies and re purpose a gift box or shoe box into a display box or shadow box.


Here is mine. I used the new G45 papers to make a "man's closet" My box measured 6x6x2....now be sure to show us yours!

and here is another example. A friend and I took 5x7 boxes, arranged things in them and used old frames I had around the house to make display cases.

Thank you all, these are such fun to make. The display one only took about 35 min. and the G45 one a bit longer as I had to hand cut the fun hats etc.

I took a wallet gift box and turned it into a reminder of spring collage.

This used to be a box that Christmas cards came in.
Now it is a shadow box for my niece's pictures!

I used a Whitman's chocolate box for mine. As soon as I read the challenge it reminded me of making dioramas as a kid. I used that as my inspiration .
