Good Morning, Crafty Friends!
Today on the Graphic 45 blog, we are featuring some back to school projects for some early fall inspiration! My project below is featured, along with an amazing altered crayon box by Denise Johnson ... using G45's new Typography line.
Graphic 45 is also giving away this amazing prize pack that includes some of the new Mother Goose AND Typography papers! You could win - just by leaving a comment on G45's blog or Facebook page. Go check it out!
While visiting Oregon a few weekends ago, I found a bunch of amazing wooden crafts by Sierra Pacific. They make the BEST wooden crafts, so I picked up several, including this adorable little box with a hinged lid. When I first saw it, it made me think of a crayon box - and then, I got the idea to make it into a back to school project!
I used Mother Goose for this project, as it is so perfect for a children's project. I also used some of my Spellbinder's dies to create the pretty flowers on top.
I fussy cut some of the red argyle to resemble the pattern you see on Crayola crayon boxes, and added some Stickles to my keyhole for a sparkly touch.
Amazingly, a small box of crayons fit perfectly inside my box!
If you have a first time kindergartener or other little "big" kid going to school, I hope this inspires you to make them a fun gift to capture this special milestone! Thanks so much for looking and be sure to visit the Graphic 45 blog daily for inspiration and a chance to win their latest prize pack!

Good morning Maria! This box is gorgeous and I think I would just keep it myself - surly there is a place for it in my living room.
