Mermaid Treat Bell Box

Today I have for you a Bell Box with the adorable Sugarplums Emma digital stamp sitting on her rock landscape with her little fishy friends.  I had this cut in Kraft for "Options" and when I needed a quick treat.

 I pulled it out and looked through my computer for the perfect August stamp set and this gift box came together. I filled it with Saltwater Taffy for the treat I needed but you could add anything (a  gift card would fit perfect in this box too). This box measures 3 inches at the bottom and narrows to 2 inches at the top and is 4 inches tall not including the tab.

I love having a few gift boxes on hand so when I need a gift I can just pull out the size I need, grab a stamp, complete the outside then grab the item I'm giving, toss it in and its done I have a sweet little gift package in a minute or two...

Items used:
Bell Box, Digital Stamps, Ribbon, Copic markers & Dazzling Details

Welcome Our September Guest Designer Patti G

Hello Everyone, Dawn Here.
I am honored to announce our September Guest Designer this month. Patti Gilliam is such a talented artist but also a really special friend.
Let me share a little about her in her own words.

Being a recently retired administrative assistant, I now help my husband with his business. Like many, I’ve been crafting for years; cross stitching, sewing, painting, etc. I was introduced to paper crafts in 2002, and slightly dabbled for along time, but became hopelessly addicted a few years ago. I’ve been blogging for almost three years,and love the friends that I’ve met through this hobby.

I am blessed many times over with a wonderful husband, whoindulges my time in my craft room, and just spoils me rotten! He is my best friend, and soul-mate! We have been married for 38 years, and livein Farmington, Missouri.

We have two amazing grown kids. Our son lives in Calif., and is an Air Force Major. Sadly, we only see him a few times eachyear. Our daughter had moved back to ourarea about 2.5 years ago, to serve as Marketing Director for a nearby YMCA,after living in La., Pa., Asia, and New York. It was so good having her nearby again. However, a wonderful new opportunity openedup for her in Colorado Springs, so she’s living there now. We are very proud of them both.

I treat every day as God’s gift to me, and try to “CherishEach Precious Day”.

Thank you, Terry, for giving me a chance to work with your wonderful Design Team, and your amazing products!

Here is one special project she did for her first post.

Patti chose to work with the Library Pocket Card #02. She used it as a card front on a standard A2 sized card.

On Patti's next project she inverted the Bell Box with Layers from Creative Cuts and More. You can see the box here as it should be!

How about another view?

This is the Tag #03, Small with Layer.

Here is Patti's project completed any ready to give to her sweet daughter Melissa.

If you would like to check out more details about Patti's projects, just pop over to her Cherish Each Precious Day blog.

Hope you leave some love for Patti, we want her to feel welcome here.
