The JUGS team has challenged everyone to make a holiday gift container for their 3D challenge this week. You can see the details here. I had great plans (and still do) to do a neat treat box, but time is slipping away, so I am cheating and using a quick, simple little box I made for my dad's birthday, which happened to fall on Thanksgiving! We don't usually exchange big gifts, but DH found a cool little flashlight at the local hardware store, so we got him that. It fit PERFECTLY in SU's Box #2, and I had some already cut from a previous party, so I went to work decorating it with some neat Cosmo Cricket paper and some various birthday stamps:
Thanks for visiting today! If you have any questions regarding this, just shoot me an email!
LeAnn...what a great entry for this challenge! You may want to get it in to the Play Date Cafe Challenge as well as it is spot on for colors!
ReplyDeleteDeadline is 11:59 EST tonight!
Le Anne, this is such a cute gift box! Isn't it amazing what a little homespun gift can do for someone? I am so happy that you played along with the Just Us Girls template challenge! I hope you return Saturday for a fun sketch challenge hosted by Pam!
ReplyDeleteLeAnn I just love this box - so colorful! Definitely one of those things you wouldn't mind seeing re-gifted back to you for sure. ~chris

ReplyDeleteoh my goodness this is just too cute! I love the shnazzy color scheme too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little box!! I love it! I like the blue flashlight too!! See that? Dad likes your hand-made boxes as much as I do :)
ReplyDeleteLeAnn - this is super cute! Even your quick projects look so polished and amazing. Wow girl!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute story about your dad! I guess he really likes your work! Hopefully he will return it full of something! That's a great box! Thanks for playing our JUGs challenge!
ReplyDeleteSuper gift box LeAnne! Love that you made this for your dad - it just proves the point that it's all about the packaging - especially that he wanted to take it home!!! How special for you that it means so much to him. Thanks so much for playing along with Just Us Girls again :-)
ReplyDeleteI love it LeAnne! This is a fab box template...reminds me of circus animal cookies! And I love that your sweetie pie dad took his gift AND his gift box home :) That makes a crafty girl's heart sing doesn't it? Great project as always and thanks so much for playing along with Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteLOL...that's hilarious! I hope your dad does bring it back next year with a little something tucked inside. I'll laugh if he does :O)
ReplyDeleteYour box is totally adorable! I'm really liking SU's templates...you always make them look soooo CUTE! This reminds me of those boxes of animal crackers that used to have a string attached. Do you remember those, or am I imagining them?! LOL
Glad to hear your dad was totally enamoured with the gift. I LOVE it when someone reacts that way :) Makes all the work worth it!
