October SOTM Blog Hop

Hi everyone....so happy you could stopped by to see October 2012 SOTM "Very Merry Christmas". If you are coming here from Maria Meyers Blog you're on the right path.....and if you get lost along the way go to Helen Onulak's Blog for a full list of hoppers. We have an amazing group of 65 Consultant's participating this month! 

Luv, luv, luv this stamp set....you can do so much with it.  I decided to do a holiday card and tag holder.

 
First I found this amazing jewelry holder at TJ Max....on clearance for $2....well it was broken in two places so I asked if I could have it for 50 cents and they said yes!
I covered the tray with Pear & Partridge Paper and mod podge along with some canvas striped tape until it was good and sturdy.

This kit comes with 5 greeting cards, 20 gift tags, 10 mini-gift cards and 3 candies wrapped and stamped.


Both tags are made in an alternating color scheme (red & green).

 
The box came with this really awesome plate on the front, so my husband carefully removed it for me and I placed it back on the front in the center of the drawer.

Ever made something, and then not totally liked it?  Well, that happens to me a lot.  I originally designed this project as a basic box....then I thought I'd make it a drawer that pulls out wrapping it all up like a Christmas present.....then I decided to make the top clear when the box was placed inside of the drawer.....oh my...how hard is it to fix something once you pretty much have it done?????  Once I decided to cut the top of the drawer away, that's when it all happened...pencil marks, etc, so I had to add a bit of bling to the top.  Bling makes everything ok.

Now "Hop" on over to Krista Hershberger's Blog and see her amazing work!

Thanks for stopping by :) and...stay inking my friends.
