Baby Box ...

... No, not a box of babies - how sweet would that be? - but the gift box I made for the friend whose card I showed yesterday. It is becoming a bit of a tradition at the school where I work for me to make a pretty gift box for the presents I give. It started last Christmas with our staff Secret Santa, mine wasn't so secret because everyone guessed that it was from me  hee-hee! and now it's becoming expected - which is nice but something to live up to.

Anyway, this is the box I decorated, it started out life as a yucky floral pastel box but I just changed it by adding papers and embellishments - and sparkle of course :)

Happy Birthday Hannah ...

It was my friend and fellow pink lover Hannah's birthday last week. I couldn't go to her party so sent her present and card through the post.  I decorated a square gift box to house her birthday gift as well as the coordinating birthday card so that it didn't get squashed whilst in the post. As well as the overload of pinkness the card even had a flamingo on it because Hannah loves flamingo's, it took me a while to track down the perfect pink flamingo but I eventually found it :)

I used papers from this digital kit and the flamingo from this digital kit and of course all the ribbons and lace were from the Ribbon Girl
