Sizzix Blog Hop - A Pocket full of Inspiration

Thank You for visiting my blog to see what I created
using the soon-to-be released
Sizzix Scoreboard Scalloped Box
designed by Eileen Hull!

The challenge for this "Hop"
was to incorporate a office supply into my design.
I chose lined paper and made my project into
a "Pocket Full of Inspiration"!
I wanted to create something that was as pretty
on the outside as it was on the inside.
I'm also a huge fan of Inspiration quotes
and wanted to "create" something that I could pull out
at any given moment....

I hope you like what I've created!
Have I inspired you?
I hope so!
Please click on the links at the end of this post
to see what all the other fabulous designers have created
and then vote for your favorite project
(please pick me!) on Eileen's Blog.
To vote, just leave a comment on her blog posting.
For example her current post is about the "Scalloped Box",
If you like my design best...please let her know on that post!

There will be 5 new scoreboard designs revealed.

Voting with close Monday April 5th at 6pm.
The winner will be announced on the interactive live web TV show,

  11. Michelle, I love your box! That cute little critter (I have to look at it again- thought it was a fox) is adorable and I also like how you did the closure- that always stmps me and I wind up using the same velcro every time. Thanks!

  21. You've created something truly wonderful! I love the idea of saving your inspirational quotes in a special box! I must say Michelle, I loved your composition.
    Using the fox as your focal point is absolutely adorable! The colors selection is very complimentary
    to the "mood" of your art. And I do have a favorite quote to share..."The essential ingredient to creativity
    is wasting time." - anonymous. Love your work Michelle! Keep those ideas coming!
