Cricut Magazine Challenge-Primary Birthday Box




















The Primary asked me to make them a Birthday Box for the birthday treats that they give each child on their birthday. I thought that I would make it look like a cake. This is my first one. I am thinking of making two so they can have a choice. I found some really great drawer pulls at Hobby Lobby for the top.
I took the handle off the box and changed the closure on the lid and added some foam to the bottom of the lid so it would close properly. The box was painted with pink paint. Then it was covered with paisley paper in pink and blue. I sewed the border onto the paper. The border, the cupcakes, and the flowers were cut on the cricut. The top of both cake layers have gathered pink netting. The bling is plastic beading, some large sequins, and large stick on gems. The top layer pulls open with the drawer pull as a handle to reveal the treats. Both layers have some flower trim around the edges.
See the newer post for a look at the finished cake. So what do you think? Thanks for looking.

So how do you like my blinged up Relief Society manual. I get a lot of strange looks when it comes out for the lesson. Yes, those bumps are ladybugs on top and along the side. I also made a large book mark with a ladybug as well. I bound it with the zutter and put on some charms to make it jingle. Lol. I was so excited that I did the Old Testament manual too.



I saw the Cricut Challenge to use these colors but I was a week late.


Last Thanksgiving's place cards. Must hurry and make some for this year. The turkey is this years dinner invitation. Four of the seven families are coming for dinner. Yeah!




I made these knitted headbands in Relief Society. I taught a class on how to make them after Patti taught me how to knit them. I made several for some Young Women in the class and gave this one to Kim.

Patti taught me how to make these crocheted hats. I made one for Aurora and Amelie for their Birthdays. Kim liked them and went home and crocheted some for her niece.
