**Next Thursday leave an additional comment for a second chance to win.
So now on to the Line Up:
Gaby-Challenge item is Use Pink(project not posted)
*Here is my Project*:
I used chipboard and Bazzill Cardstock to create an Easel Photo Memo Box.  I have all of the required elements in this gift my children will give their Grandma this Mother's Day. I used the following Cricut Carts:
Ornatmental Iron
Mother's Day 2010
Home Decor 
Sweethearts
Side view open

This is the top view when box is closed.  The glare is from a page protector I cut down to fit the lid and then attached with tiny brads at the top and score tape behind the layered vines and pink flowers on top of the page protector.   
This is what it looks like when you insert a picture in the page protector.  The gate is behind the image and the vines,flowers and title will go over top of the picture.  I plan to put a picture of the kids with their Grandma.  Since she will be babysitting for us in CA while my husband and I are on the cruise I thought this would be a nice way to also create a keepsake from the visit.
