I knew right away that I wanted to make a box to go with our Breakfast at Tiffanys teaparty. I printed the Tiffany & Co. logo on blue cardstock and made a simple box. I then made a porcelain butterfly pin, inspired by the butterfly on the teapot's hat. I used my layers of color butterfly. It is a far cry from anything I could really get at Tiffanys, but I liked it anyway.
I wish I hadn't had to work today, so I could have gotten it uploaded earlier. I also used today's color combo.

Okay, who's the wise-guy that put that teapot on Audrey's head? And I don't care if they did it cuz they were trying to cover up her bee hive dooooo!!
Oh Hi Marilynn! I mean Ms. McGyver! Here you going being all amazing again! How on earth do you do it! You are the Queen of Butterflies and the Queen of Creative! I am so happy to see you here today girlfriend! I think your butterflies are so much more glamorous than the 42,000 baubbles that were inventoried! And you have the Tiffany box down to a T.....a T for Tiffany's!
Now that's a beautiful butterfly! Sniggles, snuffles, snorfles or snuggies, what is our word? Snort!

I'll take a dozen!! Your Tiffany box and oh so-o-o- beautiful butterfly are very impressive. The colors in the butterfly are eye catching. The tea party goers are going to be very envious of your gift.

I do love that butterfly stamp, and it makes a really pretty little brooch - perfectly nestling in the box. OK, so it's not Tiffany's, but nobody who opens the box is going to be disappointed to see that inside.
