Hi all,
Oh my goodness, I am so happy I can't begin to tell you.
Recently I saw that the lovely Nikky Hall from Polkadoodles was having a DT call and I thought "what have I got to lose?" - so I applied.
Well, I only got accepted didn't I?
I am so happy right now and have been dying to tell you all.
So this is my first post for Digi Choosday - the fabulous challenge blog run by Polkadoodles which I had been entering quite a bit recently.
Best of all, every Tuesday there is a fabulous deal on selected digital goodies from the Polkadoodles store.
So here we go then.
The theme as always is:
ANYTHING GOES
For my project I decided to make a gift box (containing a little gift) to give to my friend who has a new kitten. (Now I know the kitten shouldn't have the treats I have added so I shall replace them with treats a kitten can have. 😀)
I used the beautiful Boo to make a gift tag.
The gift tag is attached to a small gift box to which I added some Cat Treats.
On the gift tag there is a lovely sentiment which I thought was perfect for this gift.
You can find the sentiment as part of a set.
The set is called Winnie Celebrations 1 - Sentiment Set
So I printed out the sentiment, the Boo image and added "A New Kitty" on the computer.
The image is coloured with my Polychromo pencils.
The little gift box is made from a "Cracker Card" which I have had in my stash for simply ages and never got around to using.
Before I glued the box together I covered the cracker card with one of the fabulous printable papers that Polkadoodles do.
I used "Distressed Wood" - I went with the multicoloured sheet because I thought it added a bit more interest.
I cut off the border at the bottom and folded the sides in to make a solid box.
Added the tag to the front of the box and closed the "lid" with twine.
I am really pleased with how this turned out and I hope you like it too.
Thanks for stopping by and I do hope you can find the time to join us at Digi Choosday.
