My granddaughter started Pre-K this past week. She missed getting into kindergarten by 2 weeks, so they have this Pre-K, aka D-K at the same school that is run much like kindergarten. She is such a big girl now, in fact her backpack is almost as big as her. You'll see her picture next week. I wanted to buy her an outfit for school, but mom had already done the shopping, so I will wait until all the winter clothes are out and get her something. I was out and about and found a little jade heart necklace that I know she will love, and put it in this box. My wrapping had to be in her favorite color - pink. Since Melanie, of Courtney Lane Designs is hosting our Bitten By the Bug2 challenge this week, I made a 3D flower from the Flower Shoppe Cartridge to decorate the gift box.
Our challenge theme is 'summer flowers'. Mine is supposed to be a dhalia. It actually did look like one before I smashed it to flatten it a bit so I could glue it down. I make it hot pink but inked the edges in an orange. It takes on a little iridescence. Skittles and Stickles for the middle and it was done. Join us for a fun challenge and link up your 'summer flower' project to BBTB2.
Wow such a beautiful gift box thanks for sharing!!!
