I made 3 of these gift boxes for the ladies who saved my dog.  A few weeks ago, my dog was playing at a doggy play place, and his stomach filled up with air and twisted.  This is the #2 killer of dogs, and is usually fatal.  They rushed him to the vet, and then that vet rushed him to the emergency vet for surgery.  Thankfully, he survived.  We are thankful beyond words!  They call him the miracle dog, since he survived.  Tomorrow, I'm taking 2 of the treat boxes to the ladies at the doggy play place.  I'm filling them with Belgium chocolate and a Target Gift Card.  I hope they know how much I appreciate them!

I am up at midnight putting together these treat boxes for the teachers tomorrow.  I am chuckling to myself, because I am so tired that I forgot to color in the broom (see above photo)!  Don't worry...I will color it in the morning...but for now I need to hit the hay!

The party favor boxes are really simple to put together.  This die cut is a great investment.  The digi stamps are cute - but they took FOREVER to color.  They are so tiny and there is lots of detail.  I added stickles and glossy accents to make parts of the image pop.  Don't forget to give your project a day to dry.  The glossy accents stays wet for hours.

I'm looking forward to the school Costume Parade tomorrow!

Valentine Treat Boxes

Here are the treat boxes I made for the kiddos in Eli's class. The party was yesterday, and the kids really liked them! I was up late doing them the night before, as I procrastinated as always.
Although, they did turn out really cute - it was a frustrating project. I was uber uber excited to use my VERY FIRST COPICS (not pictured). I was told by the salesperson at a certain store that I could use my Archival Ink with Copics. NOT! I began the project at 10 PM...stamped the bunny...started coloring with my Copic...and the ink ran everywhere! So...much to my dismay I colored the bunnies in with Stampin Up markers. I suppose it looks fine, but I didn't get to use my Copics yet! Brand new goodies and nowhere to go! So, I am going to the scrapbook today to look for a Memento pad. They didn't have any last week...here's to hoping they have some in today.
I really love these treat boxes by Stampendous. They are a bargain, too, IMO! 10 for $3.99 at Archivers. I bought these for Eli's class, and I bought 10 more for Eli's basketball team. So, stay tuned for some fun basketball treat boxes. I could kick myself for not buying another 10 for all the teachers at school. I am pretty sure Archivers has sold out - but will go back and check sometime soon.
This little bunny stamp is by Verve Stamps. I discovered Verve Stamps in one of my papercrafting magazines, and I really like this stamp company! I will definitely order more from them in the future. The paper inside is white linen, and one of the ribbons is from Bazzil and the other is from Archivers.
