Ok girlfriends, while we’re admitting what we boo hoo to, I have an admission to make. Although I don’t watch much television other than the news, every once in a while there are two commercials that come on that get. me. every. time. Those two commercials are the ones for the ASPCA with Sarah McLaughlin. They totally wreck me . . . my kids now spring for the remote control and make me look away. Too many times they have walked into the den to see me sitting there with saucer eyes. Sniff, thank goodness I’m a proud crier. Speaking of boo hooing, there’s still a day left to leave a comment for the Blog Candy Encore HERE.
In the meantime I’ve created a new box to share; I call it a Peek-A-Boo Box. I wanted to be able to show what was inside the box and at the same time customize it with my JustRite Stamps. I started by creating a clear box to act as a sleeve and then the inner box that I could personalize, then I just jazzed it up a little bit with oval windows. On this box I used the pretty tulips from THIS to-die-for JustRite Set. For the oval windows and the oval medallions I used Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG.
The front of the box features JustRite Breath of Spring Borders and Centers and the opposite side features JustRite Seeds of Kindness Borders and Centers. On the inside of the box I have four smaller clear boxes that contain scented tea lights. The top and bottom of the box is made using Spellbinders Fair Isle Pendant and then a strip of acetate forms the walls.
I cut motifs from my design paper to accent the tops of each small box using Spellbinders Classic Squares SM.
Here you can see the individual boxes a little bit better.
For the Copic Colors here’s what I used. Yesterday I used lots of colors but today I wanted to specifically show that you can get very pleasing results on these line drawn images using just two of each color – the images are so flexible, easy and forgiving ;-)

Well, that’s all for me today, I’m so enjoying reading your favorite tear-jerkers; I’m adding many to my movie list!
I really appreciate your adding the Copic color chart. It really helps. This is another gorgeous project. Love it!
Becca,
Simply Stunning.
You’re coloring is spectacular.
Huggs,

Oh! this is just too cute!
Oh, Becca, this is soooo gorgeous!!!
Oh, I just LOVE this project Grace!! Sooo beautiful and elegant and useful too!! :) Great job, and thanks so much for sharing it with us!!
Stunning once again! If I only had half the talent that you have ………….
Wow , what a beautiful and thoughtful gift. I am amazed by how you think of these gifts and ways to make them so lovely.
Mary Anne
Wow! that is gorgeous! I would love to receive a gift in that box-Actually it could BE the gift. And those awesome copics-hmmm I am afraid to start using them-I have sooooo mmany addictions already! lol! Great job, as usual! stella:-)
Oh man! This is soooo pretty! I am so gonna make some of these up for Mother’s Day. Or maybe Easter, it’s closer. Thanks Becca, another gorgeous job!
So pretty!
I love your work! I am constantly amazed at how creative you are. Thanks for sharing your work with us!
Absolutley stunning, would make a beautiful card also. I love the colors.
Another wonderful project, Becca. Your coloring is very pretty and I like how you display the Copic colors in that box with the ovals. Is there a template to do this? I like the idea of the clear box. Cami
This is amaZING! I just love that bow on top, your coloring is fabulous.
I love it!! Thanks for adding the Copic colors you used . That is a great help. I have this JustRite set coming. It should be here Friday :)
You always have Great ideas and your work is always BEAUTIFUL!!
This is a beautiful box and I really like the idea. The ASPCA commercials always get to me also and IF I had the money and the land I would start an animal rescue! (I have a mushy heart and head). I have another tear jerker to add to your list if you haven’t seen it and it is Pearl Harbor. It is a few years old but it still makes me cry.
This is so pretty! I love how you displayed it on the little metal bench! You are the reason I am addicted to Just-Rite stamps and Spellbinders! LOL!
Gorgeous box, and I love the coloring. Just got some copic markers to play with but feel intimidated, seeing what everyone does with them to create such beautiful masterpieces, and am hoping sometime to take a copics coloring course to get some good tips and techniques too. I know what you mean about crying and commericals, those telephone ones used to get me–those that dealt with family who were far away and would surprise loved ones just by being there–I couldn’t watch them without shedding a few tears either!
Terrific job as always, you always inspire me!
Joanne
Beautiful! It is amazing what YOU can do with paper!
Gorgeous! Love the paper and the ribbon! I don’t watch commercials… I tend to fast forward them (pretty much watch everything on TiVo)… can’t think of another movie right now, but sometimes animal shows make me cry…
Thix box is adorable… and the picture is fabulous.
Gorgeous! As usual. :-)
Becca –
This box is simply breathtaking! So very beautiful!

Just beautiful, Becca. Would love to receive such a gift!
Becca, you continue to amaze us with your talent! This is simply clever, beautiful, and amazing!
How does one’s brain hold so many ideas? You amaze me.
I can’t watch the ASPCA commercials either. I get angry with the abusers. I have to look away and someone mutes it for me.
Love the box. So colorful and I have fallen in love with Copics. I have set A only, but dream about more someday. You always do such beautiful work. Wish I had all your supplies. It’s only money, which I don’t have much of right now or I’d be right there with you. I guess I have a streak of jealousy showing there and I need to repent. Forgive me please. I would still be broke because it would all be invested in the stamp studio. :)
Everything you do is just georgeous. It’s always a treat for the eyes to visit your blog.
Fantastic work!!!!!!!!!!!
love the ribbon too!
you are so clever!
Beautiful!
Sandra
Beautiful, Becca! That animal commercial IS a real tear jerker. . .
Becca I just don’t how your mind comes up with these brilliant, gorgeous
ideas, but no matter keep them coming.
Gorgeous project Becca! I just got that set from Just Rite and will definitely be looking at your colouring technique when I stamp and colour the tulip image. I don’t have Copics but I do have the Prismatic Colour Pencils.
What a beautiful gift to receive. I love your projects and the creativity you share. I love the colors and this just speaks Spring to me. Thanks for sharing!!
You are so creative. You always surprise me!!!!!
Becca, This is just too, too beautiful! TFS!

day 3 of blog candy and this time I would have to say Pretty Woman made me cry because it is like a fairy tale and you want the heroine to win her man. You think that all is lost and your heart goes out to her and then…. the fairytale ending. Just wonderful!
Becca… your work never ceases to amaze me. It is soooo fabulous.
Thanks for today’s boxes. What a great idea to pack Tea Lights. …..ash
This is so beautiful. I love the way that you embellish your projects. They are all impeccibly done, with just the right amount of embellishments to be impressive. Well done. I love your ideas.
WOIW! What a stunning box. Love everything about it and the possibilities are endless with this project.
Thank U 4 sharing
ColleenB.
Oh my! At first I thought I was looking at a kleenex box that you had made. Then as I read on I was amazed at what you had created. Beautiful. Thank you Becca.
Hugs, Judy
Really beautiful. Great idea!!
Thanks Becca.
Oh Becca – How beautiful and what a wonderful gift!
Hugs, Candy
Beautiful and your so talented.
Your box is amazing. And I love the colors. Great job!
Beautiful, spring is in the air… Love it
Stunning project! Everyday I look forward to getting on your blog and seeing what you’ve created! You are amazing!
My tear-jerker for today is a movie I saw a couple weeks ago, “Dear John.”
Oh so many left; Pay it Forward, Old Yeller, Steel Magnolias. All fab movies!
Becca, this is really beautiful!
What a great cleaver gift. You rock Becca!!!!
Lovely Box Becca.
Weepy film.The Green Mile.
Hilda
You just reek artistic talent, inspiration & loads of mojo! Love this box!
Oh, Becca, this is just so gorgeous! All those little boxes, hand made and just so sweet tucked into your larger box! A beautiful gift, lovingly made. Do you ever have a hard time parting with your creations?
Oh Bec I really think you were given a double-dose (or more) of creative talent. How absolutely beautiful – I would never have thought to make something like this. Oh how I wish … …
“This is just breathe taking. Love it! Thanks for sharing, now I am going to have to try this one.
Angel hugs
Debby

Hi Becca,
As a child, the movie,”Heidi” always made me cry. Just the thought of seeing her being taken away from her grandfather, made my heart ache.
Thank you for taking me back down memory lane.
Okay, one more movie…”Kramer vs Kramer”. This was a tear jerker for me.
Gorgeous!!! Love the colors and what a fantastic idea with those little candles!!!
This is so pretty, Becca. Just-Rite has some great images out, don’t they. I appreciate the copic color chart. This really makes a wonderful gift idea too. I love the wrought iron chair the gift box is displayed on. TFS!!! :-D
Beautiful boxes…as for adverts here in the UK we are plagued by once company advert “Go compare” now that makes me cry..but with frustration its the worst advert yet! lol
how lovely…..great colours too….
Beautiful – as usual!
Just wanted you to know that I wasn’t able to add movies yesterday or today – I guess because there have been so many responses. :-)
I wanted to say Passion of Christ was definitely one that made me cry! I’m usually one to watch funny movies (like Tyler Perry movies with Madea are hilarious!).
Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us! Be blessed!
Holy Moly! This box is gorgeous! I think it could be the present by itself. You are amazing!
Wow such awesome packaging, what a fantastic way to give some candles!
When do you sleep????? I know that box took more than an hour! Just so pretty and clever, you never cease to amaze me.
Looking forward ( and hoping a lot) to receive my blog candy!
Another weepy movie. How about the new one, “Dear John”. It was a really close version of the book.
Happy happy weekend!
This project is stunning. WOW!
i just thought of another one – “the messenger” starring woody haralson.
Steel Magnolias is a good tear jerker. I don’t know if I want to watch it again because of it. Another good one is with Bett Midler but for the life of me I can’t think of the movie. It way so a tissue movie.
Gorgeous!
Becca this box is amazing!!!! I wish I lived near you so I could come play with you everyday! Your cards and projects really wow me! Thanks so much for always sharing with us all. I truly check your blog every morning to start my day. Have a great day.
Becca- Did you also construct the acrylic box (s)? Do tell… please!
Yikes! What an idea explosion this caused! Gotta file this one for sure.
N.
You do create the most amazing creations! This is absolutely fantastic!!! I love it. tfs
The commercial that always gets me is the Folgers commercial at Christmas time when the son comes home after being gone for a long time and the mom comes downstairs when she smells the coffee and sees him.
You are so creative! I love to visit you site for inspiration. Thanks for sharing your talents that God gave you with all of us!
Beautiful Becca but then again all you’re work is beautiful.
Weepy film ‘Passion of the Christ’
Hilda
You are so talented. Wish I could come up with such great ideas. Great project for gift giving. Movie(?) Canvas

I absolutely love this. You are amazing.

hugs
kay
I look forward to seeing a tutorial on this project as well! I am always amazed at how you come up with these ideas! Wonderful projects!
