So, two weeks ago my niece rode her bike down their front steps and had to get a staple in the back of her head. Then last week on a trip to Menards she fell down the metal stairs and split her lip open, requiring it to be glued. We decided she could use a little cheering up so here is a treat bag I made her. I stamped the envelope with versamark using a background stamp from Martha Stwearts backgrounds. Then I cut the top off with my zigzag cutterpede. I filled the back with tropical Mike and Ikes. This adorable ouchie dragon is a digital image from Dustin Pike (site on my side bar). I colored it in using sharpies.

Sunday was my dad’s birthday and I made him some of his favorite candy. I created the boxes for his sweet treats to go in. I created the printed paper by stamping the circle print in alternating colors of blue and gray. Then I came back and added color with a dot stamp in orange and red. I scored my kraft paper after decorated. Then I centered my oval cutter in the middle of the lid and made the window. I cut a larger oval out of transparency paper and adhered that to the inside, creating this window. The small box utilizes an entire sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper and the large box uses a whole 12×12 sheet. I wrapped them with twine and added a button (both from Papertrey ink). I hand wrote enjoy on the blue oval and used a glue dot to attach it to the box. My dad liked the boxes… because of what was inside them, of course

I also made him a matching card. What do you think? Thanks for looking and have a wonderful Wednesday
