Sizzix Blog Hop-Moulin Rouge Theater Box

It's time for another blog hop! I'm still working with Eileen Hull's wonderful set of Scoreboard Dies and for this blog hop, we used her rectangle box die. Originally, I thought I was going to make into a lipstick case-which would be very cute, but then I got an urge to use it for a mini-diorama. I used to love making dioramas in school, didn't you?
For the outside of the box, I used Anna Griffin's Isabelle Collection scrapbook paper. To create the inside, I  pulled out Sandra Evertson's wonderful book, Fanciful Paper Creations and used some of the clip art she generously includes in the book.  I've had this book for years and I think it says something when I can still pull it off the shelf and find inspiration.  

I think the project is charming and would make a wonderful gift for a little ballerina.  Perhaps to be gifted to her after her first performance?

Be sure to see what the other designers have done with their rectangular boxes. Visit these blogs to see what everyone else has done!

OMG- this is amazing! Laura you have outdone yourself. Reminds me of a music box I had as a kid. Great idea to orient in that direction and make the little diorama. Thanks!

I am so voting for this. I love it. Maybe I'll get some ballet lessons, be in a recital and get it for a present!!!! Just kidding, I know a little ballerina who will be in a recital and would LOVE it.

You are having too much fun with Sizzix. I love your take on the diorama, creating it into a stage for this tiny dancer to perform.
