Hi there, and Happy Sunday!
So, a few weeks ago, my DH sent me on a business trip. Technically, I could have gotten to the labs, dropped off the water samples, and been back home in 3 hours. Hmmmm.....nope. I invited a friend to ride along, and we hit the mall, Cracker Barrel, AND Hobby Lobby. I had a 40% coupon for Holly Lobby, so this advent box just jumped right off the shelf and into my cart. Can you imagine?

| The images are from Amuse Stamps set: Holiday Tags, and all coloring is done with Copics. Lots of miscellaneous DP scraps used. Ribbon is from Wal-Mart. Numbers are done with a C.C. Designs die. |
Since it was already in the cart, I decided no harm could be done by bringing it home and making it a bit more festive. Here is the end result:
Hope this brightened your day!
I am entering it into a challenge at the Fun 'n Flair Design Challenge! Be sure to check out their darling stamps!!! Can't wait to get some inky :)

Off to take care of some pre-Thanksgiving chores before the dust bunnies eat our guests alive!
Thanks for stopping by,

Oh my gosh, this is the best detour anyone made on a business trip! Love the box and how you turned it into a fabulous, festive Christmas creation. As always, your work is an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteBoy, when I drop off samples at the lab, I just get a pen or something. You scored big time Patti! LOVE how you decorated the drawers and wrapped the unit with ribbon.
