Well, hello there!
Short post today, as I am packing a box for Afghanistan for dear SIL and his troops.
Wanted to include a bit of fun today, so I decorated some Tic Tac boxes.
 |
| Hero Arts "Hello", Copic Markers, Jillibean Soup Twine, Tic Tacs, Bless You stamp from Great Impressions, DP strip from Simple Stories. |
These were so easy - just used a Hero Arts stamp and some Copic colors on Kraft CS on the outside, stamped a heartfelt sentiment for the inside, and ta-da! Not my idea - found where I'd sketched this out on a piece of scratch paper eons ago, and don't have any source for the original idea.
I am going to enter this in the challenge at A Blog Names Hero. The challenge is "The Krafty Crafter" (use Kraft CS or colors), and I did! Ironically, I've also used a Hero Arts stamp! Don't you love it when that happens?
Off to tape up a box...
Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Patti J.
