Grab box heaven....

The thing I like about kits and grab boxes is that you have no idea what's in them.  When I have been in a monthly kit club, I never looked at the site to see what was coming, I always wanted the joy of opening the kit, and stroking the papers, and un-peeling the layers of stash.  I might sound weird, but happy to sound that way as I so very much enjoy the surprise element of each kit.

My hands were itchy to get going over the weekend, but I needed to spend some time on this house, and shopping to get the kids dressed for a wedding we are all going to in September (Hi Jen & Tim!).  So when I finally got to pick up the box from the post office I just dropped all motherly and housewifely chores and played happily with the stash!  I have already been working on a project and tutorial which I will post this week, so I wanted to share this LO that I made.

Apart from Scrapbooking and Paper crafting, I am really into my photography, and was the main photographer at a Wedding recently, and helped out with another friends wedding a few weeks ago.  I have been making a Photo Book for the Bride & Groom and my head was just full of the photos.  When I opened the box I realised that inside was the Crate Paper Wedding die-cuts and stickers and that just sealed the deal for me as Hannah must have crawled inside my head and seen what I was working on as this was just perfect.  So all first plans for the box went out of the window and I started with a photo and a copy of her sketch and this is what I made.

The sheet of cardstock, the gem pin and ribbon were the only bits I had to add to this LO, the rest came in the box!  It was stuffed and I am cutting and sticking like mad.  The next few days will be be a flurry of posts to share what I have made and what potential there is from these boxes....  Not hard when Hannah picks such fab products.

I hope you like the LO and it might get you to scrap one of those wedding photos!
