Quirky Crafts Challenge 19- anything but a card

Caro's challenge this time, sponsored by Robyns Fetish once more. Anything but a card she said! I am not really into the old altered art scene...so I didn't have some wonderful old relic laying around to be made over...except me that is! SO....what to do????

I decided I would make something from scratch, and as everyone is talking and thinking about kids going back to school (although mine are way past this stage!) I decided a pen/pencil box would be nice. I dug out some old mount board scraps...you know those little bits that get left from boxes and frame etc, those bits that are just a tincy bit too big to feel good about throwing them away. I knew they would come in handy for something one day, if I kept them long enough.This is what I made




I covered the mount board with some printed denim look paper. Painted the inside with H2O paints. Cut a cuttlebug die buckle to go on the blue seam binding type ribbon, and then coloured the images kindly donated by Robyns Fetish, our sponsors this challenge. Couldn't resist a bit of grafitti too. Voila!

    That pencil box is inspired Diane, and the scissors look so real!

    Fabulous Idea Diane, it looks real! and just the right style and colour for a boy too!
    I heard a little boy moaning in a shop the other day that there were no 'boy' pencil cases, they were all too girlie for him!
