Guess you will have to wait till Monday to find out! BTW anyone going to the scrapbook show in Kansas City on Oct 8 and 9? Let me know cause I will be there!!!!
I love getting emails from you all and I got the best one yet this week. Cathy, a loyal follower, has taken the exploding box I showed a while back and made an amazing card/gift for her grandson's FIRST birthday. She has been making a card each month this year and then collecting a picture with her grandson in it with the card--well she used all those pictures to make this! AMAZING!!!!!!!!
A big thank you to Cathy for sharing this with me and allowing me to share it with all of you.
I know you all love this too--so show Cathy the love by leaving comments.
Hope you all have a great weekend! See you back here bright and early Monday morning!
Awesome Cathy! Thanks for sharing with all of us.
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends went to Michael's class and she learned how to make the boxes and tops, but they are a little different than this. I like the idea of the layers on this, what an adorable card! Like the candle! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteI made some out of Halloween paper, going to put purple shredded paper in bottom and candy to send to my great neices.
