Beautiful Card Container

Hello & Happy Sunday!

Another beautiful day here in MO! :)
I didn't do any stamping today but I wanted to share with you something I made for a card for a friend. Back a few months ago when I first got to Joplin, Kelsey picked up a container at Sam's that was filled with apple slices. Once it was empty I thought to myself that I could probably do something with it. I had thought to make a package of Christmas cards for Miss Emily back home but that never happened. So, a few weeks ago I dug this container out, decorated it and filled it with many cards for Emily. I got the word today that she received her package so I can now go and share it. She loved it!!!





I really love this hobby of mine! :)
Finding new things to alter is something I love to do!

Needless to say, she loved her card container but loved the cards that were in it even more! That makes me very happy! :)



Friend Card Container:

Stamps: Friend Tag from SU Two Terrific Tags (retired & set #20)
Ink: Memento Black, Copic Markers
Cardstock: Groovy Guava, PTI White, Groovy Guava Prints DSP

That's all for me today!
Thanks for stopping by!

How totally clever to alter that container to become a home for some hand-made cards! I just love those beautiful papers you used for them and I know your friend did too!
Happy Valentines Day to you too, and btw - YES! I DID pick up that cheapie stamp at L&L! :)

I already commented on this one, but the name Emily reminded me of Emily from the Bachelor, do you still watch that show? This season I'm really wanting Emily with Brad. :)
