SCS TLC Challenge 189 Mini Pizza Box

So the TLC challenge last Monday was a mini pizza box. Now, I'd always wondered when I'd need one. They seemed so "useless" to me. But, hey, I've got a rambunctious 8 year old, and two toddlers who are all boys. BOYS. Why? Tell me Why? would I ever need a cutsie little box made from cardstock. Heavy Metal with a lock and key, maybe. Cardstock? Nah.

Then, though, my mother will never accept payment for watching the kids, nor, would I honestly offer it. They're her grandchildren and she's retired. Now, if she watched them every day forever, maybe, but they go for invited visits, so it doesn't count, and the occasional time me and the B get to get out and enjoy ourselves. Anywho, I do small things for her. I've been making crafts for that woman for years. (24 to be exact). and ya know what, she's still got every.single.one.of.them. ALL OF THEM! That's love.

so, with her in mind, I made her the dainty little box. It's cute, it fit the challenge, and it's SO her.
I also made a few 3x3 cards to put into it. B/c after all, what's the point in getting an empty box???

Oh, BTW, you can find the challenge, other stamper's creations, and directions and stuff here.

Without Further Ado:
I used a sheet of card stock from Best Occasions "weddings" kit for the the box. The butterfly is a sticker from the same kit that I adhered to grey card stock, cut out and folded up, using 3-d spots to "lift" him off of the box, and kindof bent the wings up a bit. Put the white with pink trim ribbon from front to back, and the "E" on the largest flower's center for my mom's name.

The paper on the cards are just dp from hobby lobby, and the stamps are all $1 stamps from Michaels, accept the cupcake and it's from Inkadinkadoo. The inside of the cupcake says "Sweetest Birthday Wishes", the wedding Card says "congratulations" and the baby card simplys says "baby".
