STITCHED AFFIRMATION CARDS XO

I covered an old box which once contained a watch 
I wanted somewhere nice to hold my affirmation cards I made for myself 
I love to read affirmations to remind myself to stay positive and on track.
I was pretty pleased with the result.
I am entering it into LESSology for their current challenge
A TRINKET BOX using something recylced 

I enjoyed creating this so much I made another one which I have posted on 
my ART & SOUL blog.





I created a bunch of  8 affirmation cards and tied them with a ribbon 

 I hand-stitched one dominant word on each affirmation card .

inside the lid of the box had some red velvet so I left 
part of that showing as I felt it complimented the paper .

thanks for dropping by and leaving me such beautiful words.
they make my day..
big hugz from me xo

    Wow, this is stunning!! Not only how you did it, but I so love the IDEA of it!!! Thank you for sharing this with us.

    Do you write your affirmations from scratch or do you have a source where you find some general ones? The idea of adding the stitching is inspired!!! Oh I would also love to know what papers you used, the colours are so yummy!

    Heather this box is just beautiful. I really love the paper, it has a lovely, warm, homely shabbiness to it. As usual you have detailed and finished it off so professionally. Yes, to answer your ? the background on my LGS page is an ' inkido' stamp and the little girl is my nieces' daughter Ella. xx
