It seems I looked at all of the entries - but forgot to come visit all of the Creative Guides! What a gorgeous box you created here with the tomato tubes (who knew!?!) and the cog embossing folder - love the paper you used inside and the washi tape on the sides - a beautiful project for the challenge - thanks for sharing all the details!
