Core'dinations and Graphic 45 Blog Event

  I love working with Graphic 45 products, and I always find that I am challenged to think outside of the box - or in this case, design around the box. I started out with the G45 ATC Book Box, and decided to turn it into a Dog House that functions as a bank. Using the Raining Cats and Dogs collection got me thinking about saving for a rainy day and inspired the idea of a piggy bank.  

 Saving For a Rainy Day Bank Supplies:

• Graphic 45 Darks Signature Series
• Tim Holtz Kraft-Core Nostalgic Collection
• Sand It Gadget
• Raining Cats and Dogs 8 x 8 Pad
• Raining Cats and Dogs Decorative Chipboard
• Raining Cats and Dogs Banners
• Hampton Art/ Graphic 45 Cling Stamp Raining Cats and Dogs 1
• ATC Book Box
• May Arts Ribbon: 420-09; 385-58-14
• Spellbinders Scalloped Circle Die, Grand Calibur Machine
• Mini-Scallop Border Punch
• Xyron Mega Runner
• Tsukineko Ink
• Hot Glue Gun
• Cardboard

 I constructed a roof to fit over the box ( and cut a hole to insert money). The dog house was decorated and finished with a paper umbrella, made from a scalloped circle. To access the money inside, simply untie the ribbon.  
Wouldn't this be a fun way to save up those pennies for more craft supplies?!! Thanks for stopping by. ~Gini
