ALTERED STATIONERY BOX

PLEASE CLICK IMAGES FOR DETAILED VIEW
Completed Altered White Stationery Box

Box top and sides feature border and ruffle lace in ecru and brown tones.
White box top replaced with patterned cardstock. Gold medallion is German Scrap.

Paper frame from Anna Griffon enhances the little girl image from Paper Whimsey.

Gorgeous chiffon pumpkin-toned flowers with pearl centers.

Love the satin edging on this organza ribbon bow...

The Stationery Box was a flat white box...to give it extra height so I could add a gathered lace ruffle, I added these metal corner legs.

This box came out beautiful!! Everything you did to it is just gorgeous. I love the legs and brings lots of ideas to my mind for the boxes I have waiting to be altered. I'd never thought of legs!

Thank you for sharing - it is really pretty!

Blessings, Donna

The stationary box is lovely, Gayle...what a grand idea! I love stationary, and pretty cards. I just think note writing can never be replaced by the computer.

Oh, I can see I'm going to love coming back and seeing more. I'm following.
