Alter It- Whimsical Designs reveal

Hope everyone got lots of crafting done last weekend..  Us girls were asked to create an Altered Item for today's reveal for Whimsical Designs. 

I got a cute little project done that I've been wanting to create for what seems like forever..  I have a cat and the food I buy for him, are little single serving pouches that comes in a card board style boxes.. nice and heavy, perfect for crafting..  I also don't have any place to store my in coming mail.. "The light bulb above my head blings on!" ... I could take one of these cat food boxes and use it for my in-coming mail...Eureka!

and with that.. This is what I came up with:

The before:

and the after:

I used some of my Glitz "Happy Trails!" papers.. 

Had those for some time now and decided it was time to put them to good use.. 

Love those colors by the way..

I have some close ups for you..

I used my Martha Stewart butterfly punch to create the butterflies.. punched twice and glued one on top of the other.. adding some white liquid pearls in the middle of the wings..

I hand cut the banners and then the letters are a free font and cut that with my Cameo.

I was looking through some of the stamps I got from Stephanie and thought this was a perfect sentiment for this box..
