I so enjoy up-cycling cigar boxes, but one day, while shopping at my local Michaels, I found a wooden box marked down. I bought it and put it aside.
I've used Graphic 45 "A Ladies Diary" for several of my cigar boxes, including those I gave my plastic surgeon to donate for cancer research. Those papers make any box decorative. Now, I combined my lovely lady of the 20's from the Cricut "Art Deco" cartridge in this box as a pop up. My latest box has turned into a vintage fashion show!

"Wizard of Oz" Altered Boxes
I love Graphic 45 scrapbook paper. These scrapbook pads are hard to find in Florida. Driving home through St. Augustine, I found a variety of these smaller pads. One pad I found illustrates the "Wizard of Oz." The Judy Garland movie just happens to be my all time favorite movie! It instantly triggered fabulous pictures in my head! I couldn't wait to get home to implement these ideas.
Each Graphic 45 pad includes two of each two sided designed page. This made it possible to design two pop up cigar boxes.
Not long before finding these pads, my granddaughter performed in a dance competition, where three other young dancers performed as a trio dressed as "Wizard of Oz" characters. My husband just happened to snap a photo of the children as they performed. Later he turned the snap shot into a drawing. He printed this drawing twice and we designed two cigar boxes, which show these little dancers making their way down the road! When these boxes are closed the kids are "sleeping" in the poppies, just like the characters in my favorite movie!
Here are my very special "Wizard of Oz" boxes.
