...baby shower favours...



...had to share 50 little jelly belly treasure boxes i
cobbled together for a little baby shower...

...i don't think ate more than 6 hands full
off those nummie jellie bellies..
...i used a die for the box shape...
...nesties for the scalloped circles and a circle punch for the opening..
...for the window i used transparencies...
...we ran out of ribbon and i regretfully forgot to take a picture
when they were done...

...superb simple...

.....the inchie bug has bitten me...



..i love inchies.. they are truly neat and superb addictive..
...and allow you to tell a story in a one inch space...
...impossible you say?
...not really..
... here are the beginnings of 5o inchies...
...i started with a blank sheet of paper..
...stamped some random leaf stamps on it....
...glued some random strips of handpainted tissue paper over that...
(see previous post for details on how to)
...cut them into one inch squares...
...ready to be turned into something else...
...tommorow...i think i'll add some stiching on them..
...could be interesting...

...the little boxes in the corner???
... are inchie boxes... how fun is that!!!
... they hold approx. 20 inchies each....
...again wrapped in my deeeee-licious hand painted tissue...
