Welcome to
Paint Party Friday! I have a little art project to show you today. Sometimes I get these cute boxes from Shutterfly, containing cards that I order. Daughter L told me I should decorate the top somehow and reuse the box. I remembered I had some prints I had made of some of my art awhile back and chose this Baby Merganser duck that I had painted. It turns out I showed this for PPF in a
2013 post.
Anyway, this leads me to our little project. The box is approximately (4" x 5 1/2") so it was just a matter of trimming the photo slightly on one end. I used a glue stick to affix it neatly atop the box as pictured. Perhaps I can store some of my favourite ATCs inside, I used to make a lot of those small art cards.

Hey, that's cute! :)
I really like how that turned out. What a wonderful idea to reuse the boxes in such a pretty way.
That little duckling is adorable, and I agree with your daughter. Putting a little decoration on the boxes and reusing them is a fantastic idea.
How sweet! What a great idea...
