Home for the Holidays...

Julee Tilman and her design team Divas are doing a fun Project Parade this month. The challenge is to showcase how to package holiday goodies. Since we live so far away from our loved ones, putting together packages of cookies and edible treats isn't going to work for us. So this year, I decided instead to pack up some homemade greeting cards as gifts. Each box of "goodies" contains a half-dozen cards for each recipient to send out to their own friends and family throughout the year. I included a mix of cards, from Thank You to Get Well, Happy Birthday to Anniversary, all done up in these cute little boxes.
The boxes are actually recycled acetate boxes from other stamp sets I've purchased throughout the year. I removed the manufacturer's wrapping and added some festive designer paper. I cut out a circle window to frame my little button-embellished images and finished each off with a simple, pretty ribbon.
