I am SO excited to be a part of this blog hop celebrating the newest Paper Crafts Magazine issue,
350 Cards and Gifts! I was so surprized and honored when I received an e-mail from P. Kelly Smith lettimg me know I was one of the 12 most published designers for this issue and asking me to participate today
...WOW!... All of the other ladies that are participating today are
so amazing, this is a real honor. Many of my creations were tags for this issue, but my favorite personal creation has to be the
Homemade Bread Wrap on page 101. It reminds me of collecting leaves with my father when I was kid. The prettiest leaves were preserved between 2 sheets of wax paper, which was how I made the bread wrap there. This is a project I have done many times with my daughters, both with leaves and to make food wraps for gifts. It's nice to pass on this sweet little experience with them
...and you...
Enough chit chat, let's get hoppin'! In honor of the
350 Cards and Gifts issue, each of the 12 designers have created a project using a template based on an item from the pages of this great issue to inspire you all. You can find all the templates we used at the
Paper Crafts Connection Blog. I was assigned this Popcorn Box made by Alicia Thelin
...isn't it cute?... She has even shared her Candied Popcorn Recipe there too
...I'll have to try it... Following Alicia's lead, I decided to make several of these and put them together for my own creation.
The great thing about this template, is that you can keep it simple
...like Alicia did...or dress it up with papers and embellishments as I did here. If you want to see the building process of this, check out
my very first tutorial here...be kind... The paper is from the new DCWV collection, Lemon Flower. The boxes are made from Basic Grey, a retired SU! color. I love how it came out, soft and pretty. We have a new neighbor that will be recieving this as a house warming and welcome. I love giving baking gifts to neighbors, it's so warm and inviting
...and well, neighborly!...
To make this blog hop even more fun, there are a couple giveaways for you to win! First, I have a copy of
350 Cards & Gifts to give to one person leaving a comment here
...as does every designer on the hop, so visit them all... Second, at
Paper Crafts Connection today, they are giving away a FANTASTIC prize, check it out
...it has wonderful goodies every paper crafter wants...then leave a comment there to win!
I hope you had fun visiting my lil' ole' blog! Be sure to visit ALL the ladies below participating in the blog hop. Each of them are inspiring and have amazing talents, now go and give them all a little love!

Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog, happy to report that I did indeed find the set and ink it up (it was buried deep under a stack of card stock, so it took some work).
Mmmmmm, cookies and in such a lovely creation!

Oh these are fantastic! I love giving food gifts, great packaging.
Oh, this is so pretty and who wouldn't be thrilled to receive homemade goodies in this cute container. Congrats on being published so many times in this publication. I love tags. I guess I need to get a copy of this issue to see what everyone made with all the patterns. Thanks for sharing.
This project turned out beautifully! Love the stitching, stamping, and doilies. And I am quite sure the cookies are a yummy treat too! TFS!
WOW! GREAT box! I usually make cranberry bread for the neighbors at Christmas. Now I'm just wondering what to put into the side panel(s)?! Maybe that's the perfect spot to slip something for the neighbors' grandkids?! Thanx for the inspiration and blog candy opp!
Awesome! And your first tutorial, too!
What a beautiful gift! I have a new neighbor. I would love to try to give her such a lovely gift.
Have to admit I peeked at some of your other projects too. You are definitely talented.

Hi Kristin! Thank you so much for the sweet comment on my blog - that means so much coming from you. Shame on me for never reaching out to you before, but I've been a big fan of your work for some time now. I often find myself ooh and ahhing over projects and then looking down to see you name. Fantastic job on the blog hop! :)
Gift boxes will never be the same. This was awesome.
Oh Kristin, what were you thinking when you married an OSU person! My maize and blue heart just cringes at the thought! LOL When were you at U of M? I was there from 79-83. Thank you so much for sweet comments on you my blog! I will be thinking of you during the U of M and Ohio State game this year. And I thought it was bad having three big ten teams in the same house, lol. Just remind him that a buckeye is a foolish nut, lol. Go BLUE!
