nugget box
Okay, this is it. Finally, the end of the projects that I'm going to post from the Papertrey contest. Took long enough, didn't it?! I created the template for the nugget box myself. I wanted a box where the lid lifted off instead of the sliding lid and I wanted to be able to see the nuggets inside when the lid was closed. So, I created the box based upon the dimensions of the Hershey nugget candy and created a window in the lid. I adhered a piece of acetate to the window so it is still a sturdy lid, but you can see through it. I created the bow using Nichole Heady's idea on her blog (from the Faux Ribbon countdown) and the ribbon from the digital kit.

my winning entry
This is the project that I entered in the Papertrey contest that won! I created this scrapbook in a box using the digital kits. I gave it to my husband's grandma, who just had surgery. All the papers and paper embellishments are from the kit. I simply changed the colors. I created the bow with strips of paper that I had printed the ribbon on. I scalloped the edge of the lid with a corner rounder and punched holes to make it look a little lacy. Inside there are photos of my kids.

birthday invite
I needed to create some really fast birthday invitations for my son's birthday party (yeah, they should have already been mailed out). I wanted them basic and quick and cute. LOL This is what I came up with. I just tore the edge of the green cardstock to make it look like uneven grass. I stamped the sentiment from the Paper Tray set. I used Cuttlebug dies to cut out the train engine, car and caboose. Then, I used chalk for the clouds and steam and I was done. It was easy to make a dozen of these this afternoon. Thanks for looking.
