My First Box

I've had my Martha Stewart score board for a long time now but have never made a box until recently!

My advice-- use thick cardstock! I don't know why I thought using regular thin cardstock would NOT make it flimsy. I learned my lesson and added some scraps of cardstock I had laying around inside the edges of the box.

I made this box for my long time friend's birthday.
Inside the box contains 2 nail polishes. hehe

Making this box was pretty fun. I can't wait to make more!

A Spooky Halloween....or not

BOO!

Is everyone ready for halloween?? =P

I wanted to get the Simply Charmed cartridge (it has a lot of cute seasonal stuff and more!) for my Halloween cards, but I can't seem to get a decent bidding on eBay. =[

So all my Halloween cards this year will be from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge... which makes my cards more girly/cute than spooky! haha

Here they are:

Twin cards:

Inside of the cards:

I really think the white lettering on black is really cool.
