Aoife's Keepsake Box

One of my really good friends had a baby girl on Monday, so in addition to a very cute soft dolly I found for her, I also wanted to make a special keepsake box!  I know it's not a traditional baby girl kind of design, but hopefully it SHOULD appeal to my friend. (By the way, Aoife is pronounced Eeefa and is Irish for Eva- had to look it up in my baby names book!)

I've used Clare Curd paper, Core'dinations Aquamarine card, the gorgeous felt butterfly from the Docrafts goody bag, Sizzix vines, a mixture of flowers, charms from The Works, a Sizzix swirl, blue lace from The Works, pink ribbon from stash, Sizzix elephant and rabbit, Nellie Snellon circle, Swiss Dots embossing folder, flowers and pearls from The Works.  It's been a real labour of love, with LOADS of handstitching and doodling but it's been sooo much fun to make.

And I can enter the following challenges:
The Creative Cottage - No cards allowed!
Totally Papercraft - Swirls and Pearls

Magical Crafts - Flower Power
