Specimen Box
I scored one of the small Martha Stewart specimen boxes at Ms the other day on sale (I bought the butterfly punch with my coupon). I've been wanting to make a knock off of one of these. I saw over on Ali Edwards blog. I just loved it when I saw it and plus it allowed me to use a bunch of different paper. I needed a present for my no. 1 D's b'day and I thought this was perfect for her. I wanted her to remember how she is a free as a butterfly to follow her dreams everytime she looks at it. Plus, she just got a new apartment and it's a little sumpin' sumpin' for a housewarming for her new pad. Mine is much smaller and not near as nice or symmetrical as the original (I tried but I whipped it up the morning of her b'day, as usual, no time). Actually mine pales in comparison...but it's so pretty and I want to make another one for me. I am sure my friend Michelle is going to love this being the bio major that she is. I think it is 5"x5" in size. One of the little butterflies has a bird on it because my daughters nick name is lilibird. Pronounced leeleebird.

I do love it! That punch is really cool -I like having a beautiful butterfly display without having to kill real butterflies, and this way you can also pick the color combo. Maybe I'll do one with different flowers, as I am a plant geek...or different microbes (jumbo sized), like pond scum, those little guys are pretty cool looking under the microscope.
You are just trouble. Nuff said.
What A CUTE idea!! That is really great looking..I never saw the boxes. I need to get back in the swing of things.
