Ok, so obviously patience is needed while taking photos in the car on and angled back seat on a bumpy road! I just have to laugh! Really laugh! Oh yeah, did you know that you cross about 16 railroad tracks in La Grange, Texas. That's always a plus!
So here we go with the pictures so far....

That's looking good Jim - it reminds me a little of Tim's Ideaology boxes, but of course yours is much better and so unique!
I have tried to craft in the passenger seat of a car on my way to a craft show before now - but it was not entirely sucessful (especially with the poor state of the roads in the UK at the moment) LOL!
Enjoy your time at the beach and I'll check back to see how you got on with Graphic 45 tomorrow (I know you'll get it)!

First - have a great time at the beach cuz I just know you made design team! They would totally be insane to not choose you! I mean really! Although it is refreshing to see even people as filled with talent as you are as insecure as the rest of us! LOL! I am sitting in the biggest snowfall of the winter (outside Lake Tahoe Area) and you're going to the beach .... another reason to be jealous of you! LOL
Now ... about your project. I think I recognize one of those papers as a 7 Gypsy paper. LOVE that numbers paper. Are they all 7 gypsy? Just love the papers you chose. I don't like bright or girly type papers, that's why I always like your combos! You would be a great "picker" for a kit club! LOL

Great job on the "traveling photography." I hope you enjoy your time at the beach. I have to thank you again for sharing your projects. I have enjoyed each and every one--and your newest project is fabulous. By sharing the masculine side to projects, you have helped me so much in being able to craft for my 3 sons and I am so appreciative. Hoping when you have time you can share how you made this gentleman's watch case --love it!
I truly hope that Graphic 45 recognizes not only your talent, but your wonderful take on the use of their products, as you would make a great addition to their design team.

Looks Awesome! Congratulations on making it to the next level of Graphic 45's audition!!!!
Okay, question....where do you find the latch lock that you have on the top? I can't find those anywhere. No, not even at Michaels. I'm in the San Diego, CA area and I can't find them to save myself....LOL Thank you in advance for any help...
