Over at Out of a Hat Creations this week they have a fabulous theme of locks and keys. ABAC also have the theme of mainly black.
I used the Sizzix box candy drawer die to make the box and covered it in clock face / time paper which I picked up cheap last time I was at AftH.
I encased the box in silver chain and added the lock and key.
There is nothing inside as you are not meant to be able to get it open!!!
*** Out of the Hat are having another mousetrap challenge in the next couple of weeks. If you would like to take part, but don't have a mousetrap, please feel free to email me (click button on sidebar) with your information and I will gladly post one out to you so you can join in ***

Hi Sam. The chain and the paper go perfectly. Y'know we all make boxes that are for opening and yet they look fabulous just as they are. Great idea and a wonderful project. Super photo and staging. Thank you for sharing with the Hatters again this week. Thank you also for your kind offer about the mousetraps. Have a lovely weekend.
