It looks like a Book--box

 

These little playful owls sit on top of a deep box. 
The original box was a "book" but this has been turned on its side to become a box.  


                                                                  The back of the box

The  idea and the details for such an "altered art project" can be found at Reene's Room where I got some of the findings for this project.

Twist N Pop Card

 

One tutorial for making twist and pop cards is at Graphic 45 by Charee 
These unique cards that open to a surprise are wonderful for ANY OCCASION. Another place to find a good tutorial for these Twist and Pop Cards is at Shrushtipatil's site. Another very good tutorial for these is found at.  Maymay Made it.   

All of the Graphics and design elements in this card are in the Holiday Hoopla digital scrapbooking kit designed by Karen Schulz 

 


The same design by Charee was used for this twist and pop using papers and Elements from the "Mischief is my Name" collection by Karen Schulz.
