When I saw the TLC527 to use only one color and nothing but cs, I almost fainted. Since using every brignt color ink that I own and glueing everything but the kitchen sink to my cards seems to be my style, I was going to skip this one. Well, the next thing I knew I was knee deep in die cuts. I nearly ended it all trying to get this box die cut from under all the storage boxes in the garage... obsessed crafting mom found crushed under 7 tons of art supplies in her garage.... not the obituary I want. When my older son turned 13 ( he is 19 now) I made 150 treat boxes using this rectangular box for his Bar Mitzvah party. It only took me 6 years to be able to look at it again without breaking out in a sweat. I kept the flap for the lid unfolded and glued 2 boxes together to put treats in both sides. I punched the small oval through the 2 unfolded lids like a basket handle. I am going to fill it with either tea or candies for a friend of mine. TFL, Francie

You can never get enough yellow (my most favourite colour). Love looking at all the little die cuts and wondering at the patience of the person cutting them - he he he. Glad to hear you survived your visit to the craft supplies in the garage. My friends have to run the gauntlet of the "pile of boxes" behind the front door! he he
