So please forgive me as I couldn't resist myself but took quite a number of pictures,so the scrolling part will hurt a little your creative fingers :D !! But I believe you all would rejoice it to some extent at the end ;)..

Ahh and how can I miss my story line : the very idea that inspired me :::::

When there's a small hole in cloud cover, sometimes the sun's rays shine through this hole, creating a beam of sunlight that you can see. It often looks like a spotlight..and here our little kid  ascends a ladder resting on the roof of a cottage, in a way to reach for the sun and make friendship with him ;) Pretty Fantasy thought! I know :P. And Yes ! as friendship day is approaching,I made it for a friend and rightly jotted down the line : LIFE WITHOUT FRIENDS IS LIKE SKY WITHOUT SUN....ain't it ?

The cottage is Dominos recycled cupcake box,the photo reel can be pulled to elongate it as I have rolled it around a toilet roll(again recycled)..the roof is a fold-able one so we can re-roll the reel once its fully unrolled!
Images are hand drawn,sentiments are hand written,flowers are handmade.

So basically its a upcycled packaged box in the form of a cute cottage unleashing/unpacking the happy moments spent with your friends through the slit in its door-way !

HAPPY TUTORIALS :) ! (Please click on the pics to have a clearer view)

• For the roof brick look,I have created it using a homemade texture paste:

I thought I'll do a little research and see if there are any recipies out there for making home-made texture paste!  I found one that looked pretty easy so I thought I would give it a go with my add-on ideas, and guess what?  It worked perfectly!  (I'll share the recipe and some pic's of me using it on this page)

 It's a really easy recipe, quick to make and super inexpensive!  (Now I have to admit I have no experience with storebrand texture mediums so I can't say how they compare but I thought this stuff worked nicely!) 

• Domino's box and photo reel: I used a concept of Sunehra Koshy . Have a look at her majestic creation !
  

 And here is finally my creation:
