This was a pretty quick little project...I had a lot of fun doing it......it's nice to be able to sit down and actually finish something! lol

 I love these little alterable boxes! The frame stands up like an easel and the drawer slides open to reveal your goodies! I made a little keychain mini and tucked it into my box, it fits perfectly....although I was dangerously close to making it to chunky lol. I did a crackle paint treatment on the whole box which is very easy. I just painted the box brown, then painted it with the crackle medium, then with the white, then with a clear satin varnish. It sounds very time consuming, but it actually goes very quickly. I used a foam brush (well, 4 of them actuallY) and my heat gun to speed the drying.....be careful if you use the heat gun on the crackle medium...you can bubble it if you heat it too much.   then, I just embellished it with some Prima flowers and a little organza butterfly. The image is from one of my collage sheets.

Here's the drawer and the cute little drawer pull.

I papered the part under the frame. Love the way the frame props up like an easle.

Side view. The frame stays up bu propping against little notches in the base.

To My Dear Friend is the little hidden message....this can't be seen when the frame is propped up, or laying flat. It's a perfect little place for private sentiments.

The cover is very simple, just a Shabby Chic vintage image, punched butterfly and Prima rose. All the edges were inked with Vintage Photo distress ink.

I covered a chipboard dress form with design paper and made a skirt out of some of my new trim. This is just a single trim, I didn't embellish it in any way. I glued the dress form on 2 sides to make a little pocket for my vintage image. Journaling or a picture can be added to the back of the image.

The little "pocket" is 2 different trims. The sequin flowers were cut from a seperate trims and glued to the Venice lace. I just tacked the lace down on the sides to form the pocket that holds the images.

I layered the Pretty Prima hydrangeas on to a lacy organza flower cut from a pretty trim. The blue peeking out from the sides is some of my colored seam binding
