A gift Box and A card!

What is better than a cute little gift box? One that is easy to make!

The Gift Box.

I found the tutorial here....it is soo easy to follow and it comes together so quickly! The Scor-Pal makes it so easy! I think I finished this project in 30 minutes...maybe 40, start to finish. My next one (yes there will be more) will probably only take 20 minutes! How cute would this be with some chocolates, a pair of socks, bath soap, a gift card, small note cards or just about anything that fits?? Okay, I know the prima flowers don't really match the bird's flowers....I may do the bird over...but I may be too lazy!

It really opens.

Bright Eyes!

Have you missed me? Did you wonder where I was? Well, mostly just running kids around and watching lots of ball games! Shawn hit another home run, and then the next time up it hit the fence....so close! My daughter has a double-header tonight and I'm hoping for some warm weather!

Bright Side Of Life.

I had a bit of time yesterday to work on some Jacksonbelle Challenges and a card just for fun! I came up with this cutey of a card. I found this paper a few weeks ago and thought it was so funky and cute, Sassafras "Piccadilly" (I should have purchased more!) The stamps to go with it are very cute but I was good and decided to use the owls that I already had (I have many Inka owls). The paper comes with the scalloped edge across the bottom, I cut this off and put it on the bottom of my card, I then punched the holes and added an orange circle behind each scallop. I also wanted to use a new stamp set (Inkadinkado Birds Galore - From Jacksonbelle Embellishments of course!) that I've had for a few weeks so I thought the two would work well together, and so they did! Taking the picture was the hardest part! I just couldn't get a good one! I stamped the owl and then found my new Verve Visual stamp set "Fluttering By" and thought the sentiment was perfect for the owl with bright eyes! So there you have it....my bright-eyed owl card!

Thanks for checking in on me!
