Without further ado, here's Ana's tutorial & beautiful project, perfect for Mommy's Play Time (aka - srapbooking, of course!)

One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to complete more altered objects. So I decided to try my hand at making an altered box. I am using a child’s size shoe box,

The next thing that I do, is to paint the entire thing white. I always do this, not really sure why, but I do. So feel free to skip this step if you like.

Next pick the papers you want to use. I am using Bo Bunny Olivia line. To measure each part, I just laid the box on top of the paper and made little marks larger then the actual side. Then I cut each piece that I needed.

Once you have everything cut, pick which side you want to start with and using Mod Podge start pasting the sides down. Like I said, I always make them so that they will hang over the side.

Then using my new favorite tool, the Martha Stewart craft knife, I cut the sides down but not all the way. I leave enough hanging over so that I can then sand them down. Once they are sanded I then inked the sides with distress ink.

I decided to use lighter colored papers on the top and I distressed and inked those also. Then I added a little flower and a title. Once the project is complete, add one last coat of Mod Podge to seal the box.

Here is my final project:
