The challenge over at Teapot Tuesday was amongst a number of things was to create an ATC. This cute little box folded down measures 2.5X3.5. I used Crafty Secrets Retro Digital Paper for the red dot paper and the retro housewife. The message is handlettered, edges scribble around and cut out. From the "frozen pea" comment I used a pea motif around the base and added a few rhinestone peas randomly. MS border and ribbon was added around the base.
I have been MIA from this challenge for far too long, a sad occurrence I will rectify in this new year.

It's lovely to see you here this week, Elizabeth. Thank you for telling us the size of this - it must be totally dinky if it folds down to ATC size.
I have to say that while I cook so many things from scratch, I would certainly never think twice about frozen peas. It's the only way we'd get them, except for about two weeks in the year.
I love your red and white dots and that retro gal.

Wow ATC size that is amazing. I can only imagine the amount of time it took to figure out the measurements. So glad to see you doing the Tuesday Teapot challenge. Great retro card and I love all the added bling you added to the peas. Super cute that this darling card folds down and open up to a box.

I have never made one of these boxes, but yours sure mskes me want to give it a try. I love the 2 peas in a pod theme and the green rhinestones are a great addition.
