Kwerner Design Challenge #50 - Box

I decided to do the Color Inspiration Challenge again at kwernerdesignblog! This time, there are goodies involved! We can only post one entry, and this is one of two that I created... I am still having a hardtime deciding which one to choose!

For this little gift box, I covered a box I had with DCWV "Citrus" paper and used my SU "Say it with Scallops" stamp set.

The flower on top was originally a white Prima flower, but I used my "coffee" glimmer mist to turn it brown, then added some pearl accents in the middle that I covered with yellow "sugarcoating" glitter from doodlebug design.

SU Projects

Just wanted to share the projects we made at SU club this month!

V-Day Notepads

Got the idea for these notepads from my bud, Michelle. I got the notepads 5/$1 at Big Lots and covered them with 2-sided paper from the K&Company “Smitten” stack. I used a scallop punch along the top and the big bite to punch through the whole thing and then tied ribbon through the holes. Voila!

Here’s the text for the inside that I came up with if anyone wants to steal it:

Instructions:

Use this little love note pad to write “sweet little somethings” to your valentine throughout the year. Hide them in places your sweetheart is sure to find them when you’re not around.

Some Suggestions:

Tape them to the toilet lid, the rear view mirror in the car or to their forehead when they’re sleeping. Or you can be a little more subtle and slip ‘em in their wallet or purse.

Altered Notepads

Another Chick N Scratch Idea! (I love her site!) http://chicnscratch.typepad.com/stampinacademy/2008/03/notepad-tutoria.html

These can be addicting! My friend, Michelle, actually (carefully) takes out the spiral of each notepad and then punches out the holes after covering with PP. Comes out much cleaner and neater… I’ll definitely try it that way next time around!

Post-it Note pads

A great tutorial for these is posted on the ChickNScratch blog (http://chicnscratch.typepad.com/stampinacademy/2008/07/bind-it-all-pos.html). Lots of fun to make and I finally got to use my Bind-it-all! Unfortunately, this is the only one I remembered to take pictures of!

Easy Bath Salts

I picked up these bath salts in the dollar bin at Target a while back and found them easy to decorate with some PP and custom printed labels! My recipients loved the personal touch! :o)
