Scrapbookaholic By Abby Challenge

I'm so excited for this one!!!! :)  The challenge this week on Scrapbookaholic by Abby is to make a gift box or bag using Hello Kitty.  I loved making this one!! :) 

My little girl has a birthday this week and I wanted to make sure she (we) had some 'Thank You' cards on hand for any gifts. 

The box is from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More; I used my Gypsy to stretch it a little bit.  The kitty is actually from the Hello Kitty Font cart.  Since my little girl is our little princess, I thought this would be a cute one for her.  The string is just something I had on hand.  I added a bit of bling to make it sparkle (because Heaven knows my little girl loves BLING)!!!  All of the papers used were from my scrap pile. :)

Now, make sure you go see what all of the other DT members have created (you will LOVE them)!!!!!  We'd also like to have you play along with us!!!  All of the info is at Scrapbookaholic by Abby; you'll just link your project up there.  The best part is that if you participate you have a chance at a wonderful prize!!!  You'll have to jump over to Scrapbookaholic by Abby for all of the details and to see the prize! :)

Flaunt It Fridays DT Post

Hi my friends!!!!!  This week on Flaunt it Fridays the challenge is to use the matchbox from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.  My first thought ended up working perfectly (which is not always the case).  I thought about my little girls' Kindergarten teacher.  She does so much (as do all teachers), and I wanted to make something for her.  At the beginning of the year I made her little index cards to use (click here for the post), but wanted to make her something nice.  I know she has several helpers and thought it would be nice to give her a 'Thanks' card set.  What better to put it in than the matchbox?!!!

 The Matchbox was cut at 5.  That way it fit the 3x3 cards perfectly.

 

  I put an eyelet in the hole in the part of the matchbox that slides out.  I just put a ribbon through the hole and tied a knot on both sides of the paper (so it doesn't fall through on either side).

I can't remember where the paper is from, and the school decor is all chipboard stickers.  I thought they went perfectly with it. The cards were made from scratch paper and some border stickers.  The stamped 'Thanks' is from a stamp set I got a long time ago (I don't remember who made it).

I'd love to hear what you think!  Do you think a teacher would like something like this?  Or would it be too much clutter on a desk?  Thanks for stopping by!  I'm so glad you did!!!!!!  Make sure you stop by Flaunt It Fridays to see what everyone else created and to show us what you create!!!

Thanks again for stopping by!! :)
