Pink altered note paper holder

Another altered note paper holder! This one is for my friend, Nancy, who is a breast cancer survivor. The pink ribbon design is actully an ampersand (&) cut with my cricut (I forget which font cartridge I used) in pink and in white (for the shadow). I then cut off the bottom to turn it into the ribbon design. It's popped off the box with foam tape. I added pink rhinestones for a bit of sparkle and also added Stickles around the outside of the shadow layer. The design on the edge of the lid is a clear stamp from Prima. I used "cotton candy" ink by Nicole, and used clear rhinestones. The papers are from my stash, so I don't know the manufacturer. I put a line of pearls between the stamped design and the patterened paper, to cover the edge and to divide the two. The flowers are made with some sheer ribbon that someone gave me. I gathered a length of ribbon into a circle and tied the ends of the thread and then added leaves cut from a silk flower I had lying around. I am entering this project into the following challenges:

It's that time again! What time, you ask? It's WOYWW time! Don't understand? Pop over to Julia's blog at

So, My desk is a mess as usual. There are a few scattered pieces of paper, a few stamps, glue, 2 tape runners that have broken in the middle (I hate when that happens!), some ribbon and my latest project-an altered note paper holder. It's for my friend Nancy, who is a breast cancer survivor. Of course, it has to be pink and it has the pink ribbon design on it. It also has some bling, because I like shiny things! I hope you all have a great WOYWW!

Altered note paper holder

I had 4 little boxes of note paper that I wanted to alter. I did the first one today. The papers are from K & Co. First I took the box completely apart and measured for the paper that covers it. I used a floral print paper on the box itself and the cover. I lined the box with a striped paper. The flower embellishment was designed on the gypsy and cut with my Cricut Expression. I punched small circles for the flower center, curled the flower petals, scored and folded the leaves and did some inking on the edges. The pearls were looped together, and the ribbon rose and bow added. I am entering the following challenges with this:
