So, my biggest hobby these days is “blurfing” (blog surfing). I’m trying to make an effort to change that though.

On one of my trips through blog land this week I saw a post called “Magic Boxes” on Lou’s Life as Lou blog. I’ve been thinking about it all week. I did a half-hearted search for a template, and then gave up, and decided to just wing it.

I made the boxes with the lid pattern from doing the scrapbook in a box. Nona Davenport, a Close To My Heart Demo, has a really great tutorial here showing how to do the entire SBIAB.

Anyway, I made my boxes with pieces of paper that were 10 5/8 inches square, and the lid was 11 1/2 inches square. I did very little stamping here, just for the tag in fact. I don’t know what I’m going to use it for, or do with it, but I wanted to make it!

And here it is opened up!
