Thank goodness my husband volunteered to put together all the goodie pails for both kids. He was once told by his family that he "wraps better than Santa's elves." I agree because he made them look so festive!
And here's the reason for these festive pails...
Sibling love!
Now on to my card...
Hero Arts Butterflies CG130, Tim Holtz Burlap Stencil, Gelatos, Avery Elle Bottle It Up, Sizzix Embossing Folder, We R Memory Keepers washi tape, Kraft cardstock, Hero Arts India Ink Black
I was inspired by the next Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Get Krafty and the photo and sketch on Fusion Card Challenge
Here's a closeup...
I also wanted to enter the next Moxie Fab Challenge: Happy for Hexagons but could you believe I do not own one hexagon stamp or die?! I kept thinking I could use my e-clips to cut some hexagons, but found this cool washi tape in my stash. Hoping it counts ;o)!!
So that's it! I'm totally excited to have a 3 day weekend!!! Mahalo for stopping by.
