Christmas Configurations Box

This project has been a long time in the making! I have wanted to make a Christmas themed Configurations Box for the past two years or so. I am so happy to have completed it in time to enjoy this year. Hold on to your hats for lots of photos!


I have been saving bits and pieces to put in this. I love vintage things and there are all sorts of goodies stashed away in the little scenes. Some are sentimental (like the ceramic figures) because I always liked to play with them when I visited my Grandma's house. I was happy when she gave them to me to use for the project. Other treasures I've found at garage sales which is always fun. It makes me happy to look at all the little details:

Thanks for looking at my project. I hope that you all have a safe and merry Christmas next week. We'll see what other Christmas crafting I can get done to share here. I still have a list of what I want to make lol!

I'm entering this project too into the Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge #17 – Woodlands & Tinsel Twine. Linda over at Studio L3 has been hosting these fun challenges based on the techniques found in Tim Holtz's book (this one is on page 60). Go check it out for some serious inspiration. Also, many thanks to Inspiration Emporium for sponsoring the prize on this challenge. You could win $50 to spend at the store!

I am also going to enter this into the Mixed Media Monthly Tic Tac Toe Challenge. I think I hit every square on the board except for Stencil and Ribbon so that is a lot of combinations! =)

Most of the supplies I used for this project can be found at Inspiration Emporium. Follow the links below and use my code JUICE to save 10% if you go shopping. I will also point out that US shipping is always $5 and international shipping is just $10. ;-)

Vintage Fun

Welcome to February! Is it just me or did January fly on by faster than a speeding bullet? Yikes! At any rate, here we are and I have a fun project to share. It's not even about Valentine's Day. ;-) I have been collecting various bits and pieces of vintage board games, toys and other miscellanea for a while now because I have had this Configurations Box idea in my head:


I have finally brought it to fruition! It makes me happy to look at it because it reminds me of all sorts of things from my childhood. Old school Little People play sets, playing Monopoly with my brother (I always tried to buy all four railroads) and the cut throat UNO games we would have on camping trips. It's so much fun to fill up each one of the compartments on these Configurations Boxes. Here are some details:
