I started with an old cigar box and used a stencil to create some texture. I added two of the Ornate Decorative hinges to the side to recreate a box effect and then covered everything in a mix of gold…

Hello Friends, I am circling back to idea-ology today and a favorite project I created earlier in the year. I love this one, created with the Divided Box, which has been a favorite substrate of mine over the years. I have loved it's size, depth and that it had so many way to configure it. But all things comes to an end of their lifecycle and this is one such product. I know many retailers still have the Divided Box in stock, but when retailers are out, they are gone for good. So fair…
