Perfect Presentation Share!
Happy Tuesday... Hope your all having a GREAT week.. ours is going fine.. 3 more sleeps til Hubby/Daddy arrives home.. and we are all EXCITED for that!!
So I have had this box done for a couple days... just needed to make the tag and tie the ribbon around it!
This is one of Leigh Anns FABULOUS templates.. it is such a GREAT size box for treats, and little gifts.. at the moment I have nothing in it.. BUT when I do I will show you! :)
This one is called Treat Box and you can get it HERE!
I WARNED ya about the snowflake right.. :) I LOVE it.. here it is again.. a bit larger.. :)
Here is the top... Had to have a bow and a tag right!! :)
This was such a FUN , and EASY template to put together.. I used the PDF file .. because well cricut is upstairs and the computer is downstairs!! and I am LAZY and didnt want to walk her down! HA! So I printed it on white paper, and used that for my pattern.. it really went together fast.. and I WILL be making more! :) I may even walk cricut down for them!
**Edited to add to Paper Sundaes Challenge- Let it Snow! (THANKS Julie!)**

Happy Saturday!! Hope your all having a GREAT weekend!!
I was able to get one more tag done for the WM tag challenge! I have to say I am LOVING this shape and sentiment.. I think EVERYONE on my list may get this tag! HA! BUT then that would mean I dont need any more xmas stamps.. and well that is just WRONG! :) So forget that! HA!
This snowflake is my FAVORITE shape in Accent Essentials and I made up a few of them this week.. with LOTS of glitter! I THINK I was able to catch it on film!!! I am gonna be making MORE of these cuties.. just giving you fair warning.. they maybe all over the bloggy this year! LOL!
Supplies- Stamps - Waltzing Mouse- Ribbon, Ink, Button-PTI (Ink -Tim Holtz, and Memento)
Bling- Prima
Off to shop at Kohls.. I have $40 FREE dollars.. I gotta use them! HA HA!
have a GREAT day.. THANKS for stopping by!

Yesterday Justin stayed home from school.. so I being the NICE KIND Mom that I am .. didnt want to wake him by cleaning while he napped.. so I hid in my craft room.. wasnt that NICE of me! :)
Got to work on a few things.. one of them was this tag for the Waltzing Mouse Tag Challenge! (hurry you have until Nov. 6th to join the FUN!)
I LOVE any stamp that works with the nesties.. so when I saw these that Claire designed.. I had to have them.. and the nesties too! ;) and I ADORED the holiday sentiment stamp set from last release.. so I combined the 2! I WISH you could see IRL it is so sparkly .. but it doesnt show much on film..

THANKS for stopping by.. I have LOTS more to share this week! So I better get busy and finish it!
Have a GREAT day!!!
