For my project I couldn't resist making this adorable toolbox using an SVG file from SVG Cuts! It will be a perfect gift for my hubby from our children. He is a mechanic and is always fiddling with something that requires tools, so it seemed like a good fit.

The set even came with this tag that I attached to the handle of the toolbox.

The hardware for my toolbox is so 'real looking', it is hard to believe that it is made of paper.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and I hope you have fun hopping your way through the rest. Be sure to leave a comment on all your stops, including Two Scrapbook Friends. Also don't forget to keep track of the highlighted words and email the phrase for an extra chance to win a prize.
