Thinking Outside the Costco Box

A new week, a new challenge, as if life wasn't challenging enough, I go looking for more….The Documented Life Project puts out weekly challenges,


Well Okay then,
Isn't that a neat face on their label?

Last weeks Costco adventure sent me home with a box that had this great face on it. WOW! It was a Louis Jadot wine box,…(saving that box for a future project for sure.)



Meanwhile my planner had not yet had the privilege of having a decorated cover. Hmmm. 



As soon as I read the weekly to do… I knew exactly what to do.

 April 12, 2014 - Week 16 Challenge - Add a cardboard food box in a creative way.

I Grabbed that box and made a cover. 


It had lovely stripes on one side and the cutest little QR code with a heart in the middle. The face portion was not large enough to completely cover the planner so I stitched two pieces together. Walah!



I decided to velcro my planner inside the cover, 

and include a velvet ribbon wrap closure. I also included a bracelet charm recently acquired at Michaels. 


I Love how it turned out. 




Have you ever used cardboard in your art?
