  Irre:  Hello everyone. For this month I folded a box. Just this one is called a fold-over box. I had a lot of fun with it. Decorated it with wonderful paper and I did some coloring to with flowers from three different stamp sets. 


Like always I also added art stones, micro beads and some stones that you use to flower pots. I love the effect the window in the box made. Or what do you think?
