The cigar boxes that I up-cycled for the doctor will be in the fundraiser today. In exchange he gave me several boxes to work on and so far I finished one real beauty! The outside is so nice, that I didn't want to mess it up.
I worked only inside the cigar box carrying a South American theme of the 1920's. The city street was made using a Sheena Douglass rubber stamp several times cut and colored (Tombow Markers) buildings. The Graphic 45 "Curtain Call" paper collection was used in the box. The car and dressy figures were cut from good cardstock using the Cricut "Art Deco" cartridge. This cartridge is my favorite.
My wonderful and supportive husband figured out the really tricky pop up features. He always makes my visions a reality!

What a beautiful box. It is great that you are giving back to the folks that helped you. I have cancer and sometimes don't know how to talk or blog about it. So tough. I admire your openness. I am a new follower. Have a great weekend.
