Before I share today's project I want to share my good news! I received a call notifying me that I am one of the 20 Artisan Award Finalists!
I am so excited that I just had to shout (even though the rest of my household is sleeping.) I will go on to convention next month where the final decision will be announced of which TEN from this group will be chosen for the Artisan Design Team for Stampin' Up!
Getting this far is a dream and a great gift, so I am feeling thankful and celebratory. Believing that every good gift is from my heavenly Father, I give Him thanks and praise.
Speaking of gifts, remember on THIS post where I showed you the socks I'd embellished with fabric yo-yo's? I forgot to add that the cute idea for the socks came from my dear friend, Donna. Here's the BOX for the socks that proves that "Presentation is everything."
It's actually a little cupcake box made with the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper. I used the Labels Collection Framelits Die to make the window and matching tag.
I'll be back next week with a tutorial or measurements for the box, so come again! You can bet that I'll still be smiling BIG smiles on Monday! Have a great weekend.
Congratulations, Cindy! I'm not surprised at all as your work is always fabulous. :) This adorable box and cute socks is a perfect example of that.
