My Pink Stamper Design Team Challenge

Hi everyone, I hope everyone had a great New Years.  It's almost time for me to go back to work after 13 days off in a row.  It was awesome.  After getting back from West Virginia, I got to scrap/craft everyday.  They had to pry me out of my craft room.  I was surfing the craft/cricut sites yesterday and I saw that My Pink Stamper was having a design team challenge for 2 openings in her Design team.  I discovered Robyn about a year ago on the Message Board for Provocraft and have been checking in on her from time to time.  She does a lot of fun give aways and Hosts live Web shows, and has an awesome blog with lots of followers.  Anyway, I thought I would throw my name in to the fray for the challenge.  I saw this gable box while looking thru the Paper Crafts magazine the other day and didn't think that any of my carts had anything similar on them, so once again I created my own using George, TBBM, and my Gypsy.  I used the rectangle and a circle off of George, and some tags from TBBM.  I sized them, welded  them and created the box that is approx 8" tall x 4" wide x 2" deep.  I cut it on my cricut and then turned the blade over and scored it using the 2nd tab I created with just the rectangles, so all I had to do was glue and fold on the score marks.  After the box was complete, I cut 1 piece of brown cardstock 3 and 5/8's x 5 1/2 for the front of the box, 1 piece of cream cardstock 4 and 7/8 x 3 1/4 inked the edges and adhered to the 1st piece of cardstock.  I then cut 1 piece of pink cardstock 2 3/4 x 4 1/2 and layered with a piece of cream cardstock that I cut 2 1/2 x4 1/8, ran thru my embosser using Cuttlebug dot embossing folder.  I inked the edges and then sewed a zig zag stitch around the whole thing.  I tied a Green ribbon around this package, and adhered to the cream and brown cardstock.  I stamped the flower image on a piece of cream cardstock using the watercolor technique, trimmed, inked and adhered to the front of the Cuttlebugged(is this a word?) cream cardstock with pop dots.  Finally I cut 4 butterflies at 1" tall using EveryDayPaper Doll.  I hid contour on 2 of them and cut the other 2 as is.  I layered these together, added pink pearls and glued to the front.  I stamped the word Sweet on a tag I cut with Gypsy Wanderings at 2" long, inked the edges and glue under the ribbon.  Here are addl pics of the project.
