 wanted to share. My nephew is graduating from pittsburg ks PSU. Friday. I wanted to give something then just a card. This is a Kleenex box cover with white cardstock and I drew the gorilla on each side.The gorilla above that says pull is cut at 14 in from animal kingdom cricut cart. I am going to put fifty ones in it so when he pulls it will be fun. The tag is cut from wild card grad hat at 3in and says don't blow it all in one place.

Snow Sweet

This guy is snow sweet he will melt in your mouth. I used on of my Omni pod boxes for the base(box) Used speaking of winter cart and cut at 11in. You will have to cut off nose and replace it. So simple but cute on the table filled with mints.

A cool treat mint for you

 Is'nt this so cute. I wish I would of thought of this but I guess I overlooked what you can do with empty 2 liter bottles. lol Sorry I don't know who to give credit to I was surfing and came upon this.
Anyway take two bottles cut at bottom of both they will connect back together easily. then just paint add embellishments if wish. I added candy mints in mine for a cute gift. I think they glued theres together but I wanted something you could use after the candy is gone for decoration.

Here it is with the lid off. hugs

telephone me and send me a card

 This telephone box holds all my cards for birthdays next year. I cut it from wild card 2 at 7in used a small cheez-its box. All the birthdays I need to send a card and give a call are on that little tag stuck in front of the phone. The small calendar is tacked on front.

 here is the side view. It has accordion fold and each month is on tabs

heres the back and you can see the tabs. This is really great to have so when you make a card slip it in here and use it for an upcoming birthday.

santa came by mail!

 Santa came by mail! Well not really, My husband got a package yesterday in this box. It looked like santa to me. I took it covered it in cardstock flesh, red, blk, then I had some left over mesh from my wreaths so used for hat. Mop was used for beard hair eyebrows. Then just added embellesments here and there. The nose is a glitter bead. I set him in front of my tree hes so cute.
