You're a Lifesaver!

There is another Hoedown at the Hambo Stamps blog.  Have you been???  You will receive a free digi to play in next weeks challenge after entering your project featuring a Hambo stamp this week!  Plus you get a chance at winning this week!  Can't beat that!  I don't know of any other company who gives away a free digi just for playing!  Hope you can join us!

For my Hambo project this week I have gone in a different direction than a card.  I have made this adorable little pillow box.  It has a window!  You can find the template at The Cutting Cafe.  I used the life guard stand stamp with the You're a lifesaver sentiment. 

My picture didn't come out fabulous like usual!  So sorry :0(

I will give all the details of this card when I return from my trip.

CCS Tuesdays with Jenn

Hello!  I am back.  So sorry to be MIA last week.  I had a bad case of dizziness! 

This week I have a fun project to do for birthday favors or party favors...even weddings!  I used a pillow box from The Cutting Cafe and decorated it with Laura's adorable Thank you set.  I also made a matching mini card.  The Pillow box will hold a pocket pack of Kleenex.  You could also fill it with candy. 

Hope this inspires you to make your own Thank You Treats for your next gathering!
