Wow the weeks are flying by and here we are again, another Monday and that can only mean one thing, another fabulous challenge from Simon Says Stamp and Show. As soon as I heard that the challenge was projects with depth I really wanted to decorate a configuration box, something I've not had chance to do for a while so this was the ideal opportunity. I decided on a Christmas configuration coloured with Distress Stain Vintage Photo and decorated with papers from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas paper pad. I had great fun decorating each area with Christmas finds along with the use of the Reindeer Flight die, The Tattered Pinecone Die, and The Pine Tree. JOY was added using Grunge Blocks along with a mini Christmas tree and sleigh. Small frames were decorated with images from the Seasonal Salvage Stickers along with a Christmas Muse Token and several vintage finds.
All my frames were coated with a layer of Glossy Accents to protect and added to a bottle cap with paper added from the Seasonal Salvage Stickers. I have also added a dimensional reindeer using the Reindeer Flight die. I was inspired by Shelly Hickox post HERE to create this reindeer using layers of the reindeer stuck together to create dimension and then covered in music paper. Thanks for the inspiration Shelly.
I have added a Pine Tree to this section coloured with Distress Ink Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo around the edges along with JOY using Grungeblocks, again coloured with the same Distress Inks and adhered with Glossy Accents.All my frames were coated with a layer of Glossy Accents to protect and added to a bottle cap with paper added from the Seasonal Salvage Stickers. I have also added a dimensional reindeer using the Reindeer Flight die. I was inspired by Shelly Hickox post HERE to create this reindeer using layers of the reindeer stuck together to create dimension and then covered in music paper. Thanks for the inspiration Shelly.
A mini Christmas tree is the focal piece here, however, I only had green so a little bleach came in handy! A Christmas Muse Token has been added to the back along with a couple of my vintage finds.
The images from the Seasonal Salvage Stickers worked so well in my little frames.
25 has been added to the back of this section cut from white card using the Mini Reindeer and 25 die, coloured with Distress Ink Fired Brick.
Pinecones have been added cut from Kraft-Core using the Tattered Pinecone Die.
The top of the box has a vintage find added along with a second of those dimensional reindeers but this time using the head only.
Please pop over to the Simon Says Stamp and Show blog and take a look at my fellow team members they have created some inspirational projects and remember there is also the chance to win a $50 prize from Simon Says Stamp. I always look forward to seeing your creations each week.

Stunning altered box Tracy - love all the added details!
What an amazing job you did on your config box, Tracy! So many wonderful gems of elements tucked into each and every corner. You found and made so many delightful elements for your compartments. I'm so glad you gave us the close ups because I loved peeking into the corners. Super job and a real inspiration to me as I struggled with mine!
Hope your week is off to a great start!
