Oh how fun this was. Reminded me of the shaker cards I made when I first started stamping. It was all I could do to leave off the acrylic cover and rummage for that confetti I used to collect! The amazing Tim Holtz, Duke of Distress has a very fun technique to use foam core board to create a fun niche and 'put' something in it. I stored the word Giggle, one of my favorite stamps of his in the niche. I used a wee bit of paper from the crowded attic stash, added some worn lipstick, picket fence, and rusty hinge DI, and trimmed it with the fabulous pearls from Reflections.
