IThe June kit is named ~ Antiquities!
(can I say it is BEYOND GORGEOUS!!)

Can I tell you I had SOOOOO much fun creating with this kit!!
I challenged myself to create a "manly" Trinket box....
with NO FLOWERS....can I tell you
that was ssssooo hard!!

and no bling......
just pure "manly~ness"!!


Do you think I succeeded???


You will want to make sure you check out my video tutorial on
Saturday, June 16th.....cause I'm going to show you
how I created the background paper I used on my box
for this months Technique Tag!! 




Here is a little sneak of the tag!
