DT Sukkersött Challenge #47

Hi everyone! Sukkersött is back on track, with our regulare challenges ;) We hope you had fun, celebrating with us last weekend - we sure did ;)
But now on to our challenge #47! This time we would like you to make a box, and you do have to include buttons and string! You'll have until thursday at 10 pm (22.00) to participate for the price.

I'm often visiting Karola's blog - she makes the most beautiful creations of any kind, and there's where I found the inspiration to make my kind of "box" this time ;)
Get ready for loads of pictures - Here's my two floor birdhouse - hope you enjoy it!

The front:

The back:

The walls on the back of the houses, hides a secret door, with another image and a sentiment inside:

The windows are made of Spellbinders Dies and acetat, and the roof and flowercases are made out of strips of paper, punched with a scalloped border punch. The fence is made with a Martha Stewart punch:

The roof on both houses are fastened with magnets, and can be removed. On the floors inside both houses, there's also a sentiment:

Here you can also see, that the roses in the little "garden" (and on the front- and back walls) are embellished with thin silver tread (thank you Kirsten, my sweet friend!):

Some pics of the cute hÄnglar-images:
