Homemade Wrapping
Ever think about sending a friend a “just because” gift? I have done it a few times recently and I love it. I love the joy it brings the other person, even if it is a small gift or just a card. Today, Kimberly is sharing with us a little special something that she made using My Time Made Easy templates. I think any friend would feel special getting this in the mail with a little something special tucked inside, don’t you?
Kimberly printed My Time Made Easy papers on Bone cardstock, then printed the template and used it to cut her newly printed papers to made this adorable slider box. She added a border-punched strip of Day at Sea to add some extra pizazz. Topping it with a few simple embellishments added the perfect finishing touch.
Today’s Challenge: Make something for someone else. This can be a card, a tag, a postcard, a wall hanging, anything that you plan to give to someone else.
