The inside of the middle package is made up of 20 pockets to hold tea bags. To make the main box, I followed the template I found here: http://www.scrapbook-crazy.com/explosion-box-album.html (again modifying the size to fit my needs). I rounded the corners and then started covering it with patterned paper. For the pockets, I just cut a piece of paper smaller than the background board, used a circle punch to cut a notch in the top, and then sewed the paper to the background board for stability. I paper-pieced 20 (!!!) more tea girls and added them to the pockets.
There are close-ups of some of the individual pockets on my blog.
This week's project was kind of involved, so please click on the individual links in the gallery or click over to my blog for all the details!
Hey you...listen up! There are new voting rules starting tonight. For the full voting rules, please go here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Here are the basic details:
_____________________________
MFT Idol Voting Process
*All votes will be private messaged (PM'd) to the user name MFT Votes.
*All votes will be manually tabulated and announced as soon as they are counted.
*All votes will be stored for a minimum of one week in the event an audit is needed.
Your vote will count IF:
*There is only one vote per SCS User Name. If there is more than 1 vote, only the first vote will count.
*The SCS User Name casting the vote was created BEFORE March 15th, 2009.
Why the changes? We are getting down to the nitty gritty, the FINAL FOUR, with a DOUBLE elimination this week. There's a lot up for grabs, we want to make sure that the voting process is fair for everyone, and since the original intent was that the IDOL be selected by our MFT/SCS Family, we are implementing safeguards to make sure the IDOL is selected by fellow stampers!
_____________________________
I hope you'll consider voting for me (20something) starting at 10pm EST tonight and continuing through 10 pm EST tomorrow (May 20). This week is a double elimination which means 2 of us will be kicked off! Please, if you have an SCS account, help keep me in the running!

WOW! I just had to do this! So, I just put one together for my husband's grandmother who's been sick in the hospital for over a month. Can't wait to give it to her!!!
Will try to post pics as soon as my hubbie gets home with the camera! :-)
