100th Flutter By Wednesday!!

Welcome to the 100th Flutter By Wednesday (FBW)!!! 
To celebrate this occasion and to show our love and support for our friend, DT leader and main Flutterby, Danni, all of the DT members made these Butterfly Boxes in her honor!  Thanks Danni for all you do and for making this challenge so fun and such a success. 
Thanks to our design team member Karen for suggesting this and for sending us the templates to use.  The templates came from Brenda Quintana - click here to see the original post.

Today's FBW challenge is to use at least 1 butterfly on your project.  Please post a direct link from your project to Mr Linky on the Flutter By Wednesday blog so we can all see your creation!
Now on to my Butterfly Box!
I printed the template onto PaperTrey Lavender Moon cardstock and cut it out.  I used ScorTape to adhere the box together.  I had made all kinds of embellishments for a retreat that I was on this past weekend and these are some of the left overs.  The butterflies were made with Spellbinder Nestabilities and a PaperTrey die and Martha Stewart punches.  The bird is from a Spellbinder Nestability.  I used buttons and ribbons and brads to complete the embellishments.  I taped a ribbon around the box to carry it and decorated both sides.  This is the first time I have used a template to make a box.  I think next time I will run it through with an embossing folder before I tape it together - or at least stamp on it.
Thanks for coming by!
Supplies: Paper - PaperTrey, DCWV; Misc - ScorTape, Nestabilities, PaperTrey Butterfly die, Martha Stewart Butterfly punch, buttons, Brads, ribbon, pearls, Butterfly Box template.
