Hello Petaloo Fans
Thank you for joining in on our weeklong
blog hop with Authentique.

My favorite quote is...
We don't remember days,
We remember moments.
Cesare Pavese

So I created a "Memory Box"
to hold my moments from a recent trip.

Authentique's ~ Explore
was the PERFECT collection for my box!

I began my creation with a paper mache
box which I painted and added beach to.

When dry I covered my box
with Authentique's ~ Explore Eight
and added a piece of canvas and cording
to tie my "Memory Box" closed.

I proceeded to create layers
using Authentique's Explore Five
a Authentic Life Card
and a few stickers from Detail sheet
a bit of white picket fence
and a bit of burlap!

I printed out wallet size "memories"
and adhered them to
the Authentic Life Cards and
wrote my "memory" on the back.

I finished off my "Memory Box" with
Petaloo Darjeeling blooms
Mini Mix Teastained Blue
Teastained Yellow
and a few
DIY ~ Mixed Leaves

The PERFECT finishing touch to my
"Memory Box"!

I hope you have enjoyed my
"Memory Box"
I know it is something I will cherish
FOREVER!
