All packaged up.....

And ready to go! I won't be able to post for a couple of days as I am headed out to a fun filled weekend of stamping with good friends. I am so excited to see some old friends and meet for the very first time friends I've only known online.

Here is my donation to a special raffle the coordinators have put together. It's my series of warm up cards I've been making every morning. I recycled one of the nice boxes that PaperTrey stamps come in, the 3 x 3 cards fit perfectly! I saved the boxes knowing I would use them for something at some point; they are just too nice to toss! I had originally wanted to use a patterned paper belt around the box, but that covered up the pretties, so I just tied a chocolate organdy bow and hung another 3 x3 card saying who made the raffle prize. I hope that the recipient of the raffle enjoys them as much as I enjoyed making them!

In addition to this raffle prize, I also made another fun raffle prize. Every one who comes to the event brings a hand stamped raffle prize, nothing too expensive, somewhere between $5 and $10 value. So I made a fun perpetual birthday chipboard tag book, a couple of flower clippies, a roll of the wooden spool ribbon and 2 small cello treat bags, all packaged up in a cute little spring bucket from Target's dollar spot. This will also be raffled off sometime during the event.

It sure will be fun to see all the prizes that will be on the table on Saturday!
