Paper Phenomenon $1 box challenge

This was a challenge done for Paper Phenomenon's ning website. The challenge was to take a $1 box from Michael's and jazz it up with anything shabby chic. We also had to make a micro mini out of 1 piece of 8.5x11 piece of paper. I went with a spring birdie shabby chic type box. I created the little birds nest that is on top with the little birdie egg and feathers. Around the sides and back, I put ribbon flowers and fiber type ribbon, so it looks like the birds are hiding their nest in a bush. Tiny flowers where created using Kathy's ustream tutorial. The charm dangle has a glass bird sitting atop a glass egg and Swarvoski beads. I also clipped the clasp of the dangle to a mini bulldog clip, then clipped the bulldog clip to the elastic of the box. It helps to pull the elastic off and on the knob. I would really appreciate comments on this little box cause I worked really hard on it and I love how it came out. Thank you to Kathy for the chance to be in this challenge, I really had a lot of fun doing it.
