Huge Riley Sale!

 Hello, just a reminder, Riley and Company has a HUGE sale going on right now, 50% off everything in the store, just enter SUMMER50 in the coupon code! But hurry, this sale ends September 31! Great time to stock up!

This is a card I made a while back using Flower Bonnet Sophie. My Niece just had her ears pierced, so for her 6th Birthday we bought her some earrings and a Gift Certificate to Claires (accessory store) so I made a little jewelry box to go with the card!

 Here's the top, made to look like the flowers on the card.

For the feet, I glued together to beads, all from the $ store! The drawers were made with the matchbox die, and the top and bottom are made with the mega nestabilites curved rectangles.

Have a Great Day!
