Illness Survival Kit LTSCB #39

Welcome to another “Anything Goes” Challenge at the Love to Scrap Challenge Blog. Remember though, for this challenge you cannot use digital images, only rubber, clear, or cling stamps. Our sponsor for this round is Taylored Expressions. They are giving a Petite stamp set of choice to the winner.

 

They graciously provided a petite stamp set to each DT member to use. I was so excited to see this set. It’s called Moka Melissa. I have an Aunt who is a nurse. She recently underwent a stem cell transplant and has been in the hospital for 3 weeks. I thought this set would be perfect for a get well card. I also have a niece who just finished up her LPN training. This image will be perfect for a congratulations card.

When I went to start this project, the intent was to make a “Get Well” card for my aunt. She still has a long road to recovery. This set has a tissue box on it, which got me to thinking about tissue boxes. I thought, “It would be kind of cool if I could make a box for those purse-sized tissue packets.” I got on You tube and found a tutorial. I had a hard time following it and scored my first attempt incorrectly. I got my box put together and decided that I could modify it a little. The original box called for an 8 ½ x 12 inch piece of cardstock. After seeing how it went together, I made another one with a regular 8 ½ x 11 inch piece.

As I made the tissue box, I got the idea to make an “Illness Survival Kit”. I had one of those clear pails that you buy in a craft store and decided to decorate it. I am not sure what all I am going to put into it besides the tissue box-probably some tea bags, maybe a pocket word search if I can find one. Let me know if you have any ideas-it won’t hold a lot though. It isn’t very big. The tissue box is almost too tall.

Here is my attempt at another new-to-me project:

                                      

Here is a picture of the tissue box after it is scored and cut and another one after it is put together. My second one turned out way better than my first.

I think that this will be more fun to receive than just a card. I like trying new things and am always grateful when they turn out fairly well. I hope you’ll join our Anything Goes challenge. As always, click the picture on the sidebar to go to the site. You have until Oct. 19th to enter.
