I'm hosting . . . MONDAY MANIA at Club Anya & Friends!

Woohoo!  I can finally scream that!  OMGosh, I received an email from none other than the Queen of Altering and the proud creator of the Sweet November Stamps line, Amy Young.  She asked me if I wanted to host a Monday Mania Challenge over at Club Anya & Friends.  Yawza . . . what an honor!  My challenge is to come up with a gift set.  It must include a 3D item and an accompanying card.



Here is a Shadow Box Card using the Dahlia nestie to suspend this sweetheart.  Recognize her?  Ain't she just STELLA-r!!!!  Ain't she just GLAMOUR-ous?


Here is a Double Shaker picture frame standing on the desk drawer set.  I learned how to make this Double Shaker from Teri over at big Ideas From A Little Girl.  Thanks Teri!  You're amazing!  If you wanna check out her tutorial on making the Double Shaker, click {HERE} for Tutorial Part 1 & {HERE} for Tutorial Part 2. 


While thinking of a 3D project, I had a lightbulb moment.  I purchased the Sizzix Bigz Die Cut Box #3, but never used it.  Then it dawned on me that I could actually make some drawers with this.  Where I wanted a drawer to be, I folded the flaps inward and adhered leaving a wide open space for a drawer pull.  I fiddled around with the measurements for the large and small drawer pulls -- they were some funky measurements, but it works!  :)  I'll try to do another post with the measurements later . . .


Here's the view of the desk drawer with everything open.  I kept the top left section as is and added a sectional piece at the center.  The cover can open and close easily with the pearl brad securing the flap. Wanna know the size of this baby?  It measures approximately 4-1/2 (W) x 5 (H) x 9-1/2 (L).  Now that's a whopper!  :)

Thank you for sticking with me through this long post.  I hope you enjoyed my 3D project as much as I enjoyed putting it together.  Now, run over to Club Anya & Friends and play in my challenge!  I know that there will be amazing projects that will be shared.  I would luv to see what you come up with!
