remember me...

... sure you do! I've just been so busy with school and all my other busy work that I have neglected my blog for what, a MONTH! I am so sorry! I hope you'll forgive me :) purty please?????

Here is something I worked on just after I went MIA. It's a box I got for half price at the stamp expo. I decorated it all up for Carefree Karen who now resides in Hawaii!

It was for my little give away months ago. Yeah, it took a while to get to her, but that was part of the rules! I hope all the goodies I stuff inside made it worth the wait. It's been so long, I really have no idea what I crammed into it.

There's little gems at the top of each scallop and I used the SU ribbons around it. I dabbed some Ranger acrylic paint on the edges (love those dabbers and I am so glad I got like ten different colors at the stamp expo!)

supplies
paper: stampin' up urban garden
accessories: stampin' up corduroy buttons and ribbon, michael's gems, martha stewart border punch, ranger acrylic paint dabber

boxy...

This decked out prima essentials box is going off to Sara. One of my tagging friends. Isn't it fun? The image... well I won't even say it because you know where it's from and why I don't know anything about it or the white paper it was stamped on! Because Sara is such a sweetie, it's loaded with fun :)

I am sure you recognize this super cute american crafts a la mode paper :) ...love it! the green is on the reverse side. I don't know if I told you that before. I know, it just gets better! It matches almost perfectly with PTI ripe avocado.

supplies
stamps: stamping bella
ink: black
paper: su summer sun, pretty in pink and american crafts a la mode fondant
accessories: prima essentials box, martha stewart scallop punch, pti ribbon, copic markers

I picked up this tag from a blogging friend Jorge... oh wait... it was Jen!. It sounded like a lot of fun :) so I am game. I hope you are too!
