Altered Vacation Fund Box!!!

Hey Gals!!!
How have you been!!!Well life had kept me really busy in last few days,with lots of craft workshops,my craft store,plus a few social events.Anyways I am not complaining,though I am really ENJOYING to the fullest.
Today I want to share a box I made for my daughter a few months back, when she asked me for a Disney land trip as her Birthday Present.I made this box for her as I wanted her to learn the value of money.As seeing others she was getting habituated to demanding.So I made this for her And told her to start Saving all what she could.I even encouraged her by giving her a few rewards.And I could not believe the savings she did.That even gave me a lesson which I was trying to give to my daughter, but was not following it myself.Sometimes Kids also teach us alot.So enough of my BLAH BLAH BLAH....Here is the box

 The teddy is made using various punches,The flowers are daisy die cuts,The alphas are cut using my sizzix dies and glitter foam sheets(available in my craft store).The Striped label is hand cut,The butter fly is recycled from my daughters clips.

                                                              This was the box I altered.

I am entering this box to the following challenges:

Hey Friends!!!!
Today I tried making Calla lilies with punches.I had seen them on the net but had no clue how to make it.But today while playing with my punches I made them and was really happy the way they turned out.And yes I am becoming WHITOHOLIC.When I think of making a card,the cardstock that comes to my mind is WHITE,WHITE and more WHITE.I think I am in love with it.This card I have made for my mother for women's day.She is the most perfect woman I have ever met or seen.She is my definition for a perfect women.I Admire,Adore,Love,Cherish,And all other adjectives I can think of (GOOD ONES).
