Ok girlfriends, while we’re admitting what we boo hoo to, I have an admission to make. Although I don’t watch much television other than the news, every once in a while there are two commercials that come on that get. me. every. time. Those two commercials are the ones for the ASPCA with Sarah McLaughlin. They totally wreck me . . . my kids now spring for the remote control and make me look away. Too many times they have walked into the den to see me sitting there with saucer eyes. Sniff, thank goodness I’m a proud crier. Speaking of boo hooing, there’s still a day left to leave a comment for the Blog Candy Encore HERE.
In the meantime I’ve created a new box to share; I call it a Peek-A-Boo Box. I wanted to be able to show what was inside the box and at the same time customize it with my JustRite Stamps. I started by creating a clear box to act as a sleeve and then the inner box that I could personalize, then I just jazzed it up a little bit with oval windows. On this box I used the pretty tulips from THIS to-die-for JustRite Set. For the oval windows and the oval medallions I used Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG.
The front of the box features JustRite Breath of Spring Borders and Centers and the opposite side features JustRite Seeds of Kindness Borders and Centers. On the inside of the box I have four smaller clear boxes that contain scented tea lights. The top and bottom of the box is made using Spellbinders Fair Isle Pendant and then a strip of acetate forms the walls.
I cut motifs from my design paper to accent the tops of each small box using Spellbinders Classic Squares SM.
Here you can see the individual boxes a little bit better.
For the Copic Colors here’s what I used. Yesterday I used lots of colors but today I wanted to specifically show that you can get very pleasing results on these line drawn images using just two of each color – the images are so flexible, easy and forgiving ;-)

Another wonderful project, Becca. Your coloring is very pretty and I like how you display the Copic colors in that box with the ovals. Is there a template to do this? I like the idea of the clear box. Cami

This is a beautiful box and I really like the idea. The ASPCA commercials always get to me also and IF I had the money and the land I would start an animal rescue! (I have a mushy heart and head). I have another tear jerker to add to your list if you haven’t seen it and it is Pearl Harbor. It is a few years old but it still makes me cry.
February 25, 2010

This is so pretty! I love how you displayed it on the little metal bench! You are the reason I am addicted to Just-Rite stamps and Spellbinders! LOL!

Gorgeous box, and I love the coloring. Just got some copic markers to play with but feel intimidated, seeing what everyone does with them to create such beautiful masterpieces, and am hoping sometime to take a copics coloring course to get some good tips and techniques too. I know what you mean about crying and commericals, those telephone ones used to get me–those that dealt with family who were far away and would surprise loved ones just by being there–I couldn’t watch them without shedding a few tears either!
Terrific job as always, you always inspire me!

Gorgeous! Love the paper and the ribbon! I don’t watch commercials… I tend to fast forward them (pretty much watch everything on TiVo)… can’t think of another movie right now, but sometimes animal shows make me cry…

I can’t watch the ASPCA commercials either. I get angry with the abusers. I have to look away and someone mutes it for me.
Love the box. So colorful and I have fallen in love with Copics. I have set A only, but dream about more someday. You always do such beautiful work. Wish I had all your supplies. It’s only money, which I don’t have much of right now or I’d be right there with you. I guess I have a streak of jealousy showing there and I need to repent. Forgive me please. I would still be broke because it would all be invested in the stamp studio. :)

day 3 of blog candy and this time I would have to say Pretty Woman made me cry because it is like a fairy tale and you want the heroine to win her man. You think that all is lost and your heart goes out to her and then…. the fairytale ending. Just wonderful!
Becca… your work never ceases to amaze me. It is soooo fabulous.

Hi Becca,
As a child, the movie,”Heidi” always made me cry. Just the thought of seeing her being taken away from her grandfather, made my heart ache.
Thank you for taking me back down memory lane.

Okay, one more movie…”Kramer vs Kramer”. This was a tear jerker for me.

Beautiful – as usual!
Just wanted you to know that I wasn’t able to add movies yesterday or today – I guess because there have been so many responses. :-)
I wanted to say Passion of Christ was definitely one that made me cry! I’m usually one to watch funny movies (like Tyler Perry movies with Madea are hilarious!).
Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us! Be blessed!

When do you sleep????? I know that box took more than an hour! Just so pretty and clever, you never cease to amaze me.
Looking forward ( and hoping a lot) to receive my blog candy!
Another weepy movie. How about the new one, “Dear John”. It was a really close version of the book.
Happy happy weekend!

Steel Magnolias is a good tear jerker. I don’t know if I want to watch it again because of it. Another good one is with Bett Midler but for the life of me I can’t think of the movie. It way so a tissue movie.
