Memory Boxes

I can finally post this now that Commencement is over!

As graduation gifts for my roommates, I decorated eight little wooden memory boxes:

Unfinished wooden boxes can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes at pretty much every craft store.  Using leftover green paint from rooms in our apartment, I sponged the outside of them all first and then stained the inside with wood stainer.  To embellish, I modpodged a photo onto each (the antique looking edges are really just from ripping the paper!), and then stamped them with various Paper Source rubber stamps (like this one).

Finally, I tagged them all with gsg (for Green Street Girls) by modpodging newspaper letter cutouts onto the front.

Best part?  Talia’s sister told her they looked “so Anthropologie” :)
