Do It Yourself Gardening and Landscape Design

any ideas for making a portable landscape in a cigar box?

so for my final art project (worth 10% of my mark) i got a cigar box, and i have to depict a landscape that means something to me. its kinda due in two days … we have to make it artsy not crafty, and i chose my backyard, cause when i was little it was like my ‘magical’ place if you know what i mean :) we can do anything with the box, like draw on it , paint etc. we can even just use the lid of the box, or whatver . so i just need an idea to depict my backyard in a creative way ,and suggestions asap is really really appreciated :)
btw i dont know how to award points and stuff for best answer, so just telll me how so i can give the winner how ever many points im allowed to give :P

It may be neat to cut a hole in the top of the box and make it look like you are looking out of your back window into the box. Or propping up the top and making it look like a roof or a back porch or something just to kind of frame the whole thing and be unique. for the scene i would try to maybe paint a scene in the bottom of the box and in the front of the box add some cutout paper trees or maybe a cutout fence or something just to be in the foreground and give it some depth and a little flare. Hope the ideas help. I’m just another amateur artist.
