Recycle and Reuse
Good Morning Everyone!!! Happy Friday!! Wow this week sure did fly by. I can't believe another week is over and we are just about to hit August.
I decided to do a little project for my daughter for going back to school. You know how girls just love little notes and stuff. If you have left over jewelry boxes from Khol's or somewhere like that, Khol's is where mine came from. They are perfect to recycle and reuse. I covered it and it fits 3x3 note cards perfectly. I made a set of 5 simple note cards to put in it for her. I just got this butterfly set from SU and the new butterfly punch and couldn't wait to use it. Also the butterfly I put in this sweet little girl's hair is from the set too. Hope you enjoy my little project.
Did you notice I have a new watermark?? Woohoo!! My good friend Angie Cortes made it for me and emailed it to me last night. If you get a chance go check out her beautiful BLOG you will see lots of creativity there for sure!
Thanks for stopping by. Have a GREAT FRIDAY!!
Here's the recipe
Note Cards
SU Set Flight of the Butterfly - Inked on the white cardstock on the card and inked again on a separate piece of white cardstock and punched the butterflies out and attached to the image with a pop dot.

Pretty in Pink Ink

The Box
I covered the box with Basic Grey Designer Paper - Lemonade

Tied SU Baja Breeze Ribbon around the box
Image - The Greeting Farm inked with Momento Ink and colored with copics
Used Baja Breeze Ink for little butterfly in her hair also from SU set Flight of the Butterfly
