Treat Boxes

This darling Treat Box was one of the make and takes at convention last August.  They come in packs of 5 and are the perfect presentation for that homemade fudge or zero calorie gift card.  Just add an adorable tag and some cute ribbon and you are good to go....

Gobble Gobble #1

Gobble, Gobble  is a terrific single stamp in the Holiday Mini.  And it's just the right size to sandwich one of the few leftover peppermint patties I used in my Halloween spiders.  When I mounted this stamp, I cut off the words and mounted the words on the side of the wood block.  The turkey is mounted as usual.  I started off by using markers to color in the turkey, and though that provides a lovely turkey, it is very fast.  So, I initially inked the turkey in More Mustard, used the Rock N Roll technique in Ruby Red.  Using a somewhat dry aquapainter, I quickly removed the color from the body and used a soft suede marker to just color in the body of the turkey.  Much more my speed.  Guess I'll have to buy 2 more bags of peppermint patties just to make 10 or so of the turkeys...make one, eat one...make one, eat one...

Cute Matchbook Birthday Gift

Many of Hilary's friends have late fall and early winter birthdays.  Most of her friends own the SU! tattoo kits from previous birthdays and now most are getting gift cards.  I know that's not the most original idea, but the packaging makes the gift, right?  It at least gives me more time to creat the cute packaging, lol.  Andrea Walford's blog, always has cute and smart ideas, so I watched her video and set out to make about 5 of these darling matchbooks.   Enjoy!

Animal Stories Diaper Cake PPA13

Animal Stories designer paper perfectly matches Tiffany's nursery.  And elephants seem to be so popular right now.  I am sure Tiffany will make use of the diapers now that her little one is safely arrived.  The diaper cake made a very cute shower centerpiece.
