This is a card I made for the special challenge over at Sheetload to celebrate Queen Kat Designs 2nd Birthday. I deviated a bit by adding the white square to the center as the finished card needed a bit more depth. All stamps are Just Johanna's Odd Bird Planet. I wanted to make a not-too-christmasy all occasion card that can be used after christmas for festive thank you notes.
My mom-in-law already received her birthday gift so I can post pictures now. I made her several bars of homemade soap and here is how I wrapped them:
I used the November Sheetload sketch "beyond the card."
I have a huge shopping bag that is overflowing with boxes, AOL CDs, oatmeal canisters - anything that would be handy to alter and use as gift packaging or storage. I can't tell you how often it's come in handy. Do you have something like that at your house?
