House Mouse cigar box

My husband brings home tons of cigar boxes and this one was so sturdy I had to cover it and give it to my son. I'm hoping that maybe he'll keep all of his pay stubs from his "new job" (hope, hope) in this box. I already made one box for him but I think he'll love this one too! As soon as I saw this image I thought of my youngest son. This is so him, just lazing around relaxing. I've entered this into three challenges. The first is Kaboodle Doodles and the challenge is to celebrate summer. The second challenge is Charisma Cardz and is to make a project for a boy. The third challenge is House Mouse challenge to create a project to celebrate something new. I am hoping this is a good luck charm and Steven gets the job! Each side of the box has a different saying. The front says "Never regret anything that made you laugh" and then each of these are on a side "smiles are contagious", "Today belongs to you", "Dance to your own music". Love all of the sayings!

Stamps: House Mouse keeping cool, stampin up Sanded background, sentiments are from Inkadinkado Thoughts for the day
Paper: Early Espresso, basic black, gable green, whisper white
Ink: bashful blue, ballet blue, early espresso, green galore, glorious green
Other: prisma markers, ribbon, ek corner punch, brads, crystal effects, stampin up square lattice
