So of course I did it again -- I woke up at 6 am to realize it is Friday and I hadn't even thought about my challenge! Yikes, and I think it is the hardest one yet -- or is it???? I am not sure why but I have always be a bit intimidated by triangle boxes. I wonder if there is a name for this strange phobia of mine? I guess it don't really matter because the good news is I AM CURED! My first problem was that I knew I would not have time to search all over the internet for a pattern that I liked and then the other half of the problem is that I have been out of ink in my printer for over a week and keep forgetting to get the color I need so I could not have printed out a pattern if I wanted to -- go figure! So I thought I would just come up with my own - after all I did just break down and purchase a scor pal (which I LOVE) so how hard could it be right. Well to my joy and surprise it was really easy and I even made my triangle box into a gift card holder. I am so proud of myself this morning! And I am still on my first cup of coffee, image how the rest of the day will go! Whoooo Hoooo! So on to the box.
The box was so easy I made two! Of course they are not extremely embellished but two none the less!
Can you belive I am still using up paper from the SAB kits from last year! Look mom -- no stamps!
Here is how it looks open. And I even took pictures while I made it so I will post a tutorial after lunch today. My son only has a half day of school so I want to get my nails done and a couple errand before I pick him up. So come back later for the tutorial.

Wow...two projects and just since this morning! I'm so impressed! Great job on both boxes...anyone would love to receive these!
Looking forward to your directions - they turned out great!
Great job! I can't wait to see your tutorial on these...it isn't a pattern I've seen before!
OMG girl! You did two projects - just this morning! Very impressive. You did a great job, I still have that same set too. These are both delightful...
p.s. I love your music! Lifted my whole being. Thanks for such a wonderful start to the day.
Only one cup of coffee and 2 projects huh? That is fabulous and they are both great boxes...I have a ton of kits left from last year also.
those are both great! I love when you can use up some old stuff - it feels so good that it's not going to waste! Beautiful job!
Fantastic job Mary Jo! I love them both!!!
Those are just awesome - I am glad you are going to post the tutorial, because I would have asked you for it :-)
Great projects, Mary Jo! I look forward to seeing your tutorial!
How fun, Mary Jo. I'm loving all of these different triangle box styles and ideas!
Great challenges....really cool boxes!
I love these boxes! What a great way to package something for someone!! THese are super cute and we'd never have known that you'd only started thinking about them today! :)
Happy Friday!
WOW! I am so impressed! The exact same thought ran through my mind, but I took the easy way out and not only downloaded a pattern, but printed it out on card stock too! It got jammed in my printer twice, and being a bit tenacious, took over my dh computer and decade old printer and printed it out on his! Doesn't get much easier than that! And I have a Scor-Pal too, but wasn't feeling very courageous!
You did a fantastic job with this challenge! KUDOS!
Looks great! I'll be waiting for that tutorial!!!
I have to try this! Looks fun to make! Sorry I'm really late with this week's challenge. Thanks Mary Jo!
