Pens & Pencils Box

Created this Pens & Pencils Box by recycling a cardboard box with a pencils/school theme so this time I thought inside the box. The box is sturdy & is from PetCareRX/Vets First Choice packages for Frontline Plus & Heartguard that I order online for my dog Daisy

Cut the words "PENS & PENCILS" and label using Cricut cartridge Home Organization which I can use as a subscribed member of Cricut Design Space. Used 'Attach' option to cut the words out of the green cardstock and placed this on the red cardstock for a watermelon look. Added the letters without the fill-in pieces and used a black Sharpie marker to give it the watermelon seed look.

Stamped a pencil. Will look thru my stamps for a pen stamp to add to it later.
