Good morning 🙂

I am in the throes of a painful toothache.   For the last 24 hours, I have tried every known ‘home remedy’ that I could find on the net or that friends/family could recommend.   My face is on fire and my vision blurry.   I was telling my 16 yr old, tooth pain is akin to labor.   It is hard to concentrate, kwim?

Well, I have found that massive doses of motrin, ice packs and stamping help tremendously.    I am sorta normal this morning.    I spent most of my night in the studio.

I needed a 3D item for There She Goes, so I pulled out several sets and set to thinking.    Then I remembered my You’re So Punny squirrel and his nuts.    So this is what I made:

This one is so so easy.   I took a piece of Really Rust cardstock measuring 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and score it on all sides at 3/4 inches.  Then I centered a nesties label 1 die in the center and ran it through the wizard.    Voila, wndow.   I used sticky tape to secure the acetate inside for the window and formed the box top.    For the box bottom, I cut chocolate chip cardstock to 6 15/16 x 6 15/16.   I scored that piece at 1 1/2 inches on all four sides and formed it into a box.   The two slide together perfectly. 🙂

Then I decorated as shown 🙂

Here are my deets:

Stamps:   There She Goes’ You’re So Punny

Colors: Really Rust, Chcocolate Chip, GP White

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics, white Gel pen for accents

Accessories: ribbon, dimensionals, acetate, sticky tape, scoring blade
