Butterfly Box

Kim, from Desire to Inspire, featured photographer Kim Payne a while ago. Guest blogging at Made By Girl, she showed us another shot of Kim's and I recognized this precious butterfly shadow box. My friend, Natalie, just made one of her own for her daughter's room. Now I'm all curious as to where Natalie originally saw the idea.
I love it!

These would be beautiful hanging by fish line in a white nursery as well.

Kim Payne's butterflies look really big... I wonder where she found that punch. Possibly it is from Cricut.

Natalie's butterfly idea has been circulating the web... I made one of those a long while ago, although I didn't fold the wings up. It is in the girls room, and so girly and cute. I like Natalie's box. The punch is from Martha Stewart crafts, you can get them at Michaels.

These are great! I made one awhile ago and I have it posted here, if you are interested!

whoa, my simple crafting ways featured on A Room Somewhere?! I'm so honored! :D Though I must confess, I did not create this idea myself - I believe I first saw the idea on Stephanie Brubaker's Stephmodo's blog.
Ginger is right - the punch is by Martha as is the small shadow box, and both are available at Michaels. I had to cut (with wire-cutters) the pearl pins, as they were too tall for the box, but otherwise, the project is super easy and easily modified for any little girl's favorite colors or room scheme.
Happy Crafting, Y'all!

I just found your blog through Lara Furniss. The title really caught my eye. I love all the pictures you post. They are clean, refreshing, and uplifting. I will definitely visit often.

ooooo so do you think your friend would mind if I used her shadowbox as part of my blog (over on the side where I have another butterfly pic now)? I think it truly is lovely and of course would give the credit back to her if she has a site.

The BUTTERFLIES in so many colors are soo cute. I have a card in my shop that is kind of similar.
