Okay, I HAD to make another box using the wave template from Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs for the JUGS #13 Challenge, but this time I translated it literally! And BTW, I used blue, too!
Here's my box and it is all about my son who loves the beach and loves to skimboard. The paper I used for the box had big bold words on it and I made the front wave flap look like the waves rolling up on the shore.
In the next pic you can see how I ripped layers of paper and used stickles to look like sparkling water. The sun is a CTMH stamp which I stamped in orange, colored the middle in yellow and used crystal effects to make it shiny. I also just LOVE this epoxy surfboard sticker from Creative Imaginations that I put on the waves.
Now for the inside!
Now for the inside which I have to say I LOVE. This is a pic of my son jumping in the air doing tricks at the beach. I split the pic with a Heidi Swapp wave sticker to make a smooth transition between the top of the flap and the inside fold. I think it looks pretty cool like that. He'll like his name on this! I wanted to make it look manly. Also it worked out REALLY GREAT that you can read all of the words on the box and see how perfect this paper is.
This is the back of the box. He hasn't seen it yet but I'll give it to him tomorrow.

Paper - BoBunny Beach Party, Blue cardstock

TOTALLY fantastic Sue! Love many things about it - I grew up at Sunset Beach (CA) and my son's name is Kevin - so this made me do a double take! The picture on the inside is fabulous. Great job with the template #2!!!

Tres cool mon ami!
I looked for you at Hobby Lobby yesteray. I went crazy on the 50% off paper sale. I used my entire Christmas gift certificate. It was mucho fun though! They have some great paper packs right now. I may go back and get a couple of the Basic Gray that I passed on. Do you know how much paper I have?!!! Is it a sickness?
