Prima MAY PPP - two projects

Hi ya, so glad to see you!

Midsummer was as beautiful as I hoped for. Sunshine every day. Got bitten by the summer hols bug but it's not quite time to put on the shorts and enjoy lazy days yet. A couple of more weeks in the office before work is out for summer.

Making this a short post. Sharing the 2 projects I made for the Prima MAY PPP.  First the colours;

2013 May PPP 

May and June so far have been crazy crazy months both scrappy and workwise. Really so sorry for being MIA in so many places but the day simply doesn't have enough hours - yet.

Some of you might remember that my life turned upside down last winter when two of my friends died in cancer withing weeks of each other.

The daughter of one of these friends graduated some weeks ago. My 2 Prima May PPP projects were created for her; a card and a gift box. 

In the box we extra-aunties and uncles put a pair of diamond studs for her. A reminder of how she is surrounded by the love of many people and how something that seems the end of the world still can lead to other beautiful places and discoveries.

Here they are; first the card



And then the box, this is what it looked like raw before I painted it in the minty teal green and started decorating;

 




The box was rather difficult to photograph, as always it looks so much better IRL but now you've at least got a hunch of what it looks like.

Ta ta! and see you again if you want to. Thanks for popping by!
