Painted Item for Partner in Swap

Here is the item I made for my partner in my swap on the Cricut.com messageboard.  The theme for this day was "Painted Item" so I painted a paper mache box that looked like a book, added some gold accents to look like pages (sorry did not get a photo of that side) and then I mod podged my favorite Graphic 45 paper (Christmas Past Deluxe) to the front.  My thought for this was that she could keep pictures, mementos or cards she has received in the box.  I hope she likes it!!
