For today's project, I put together this fun cherry-inspired care package for my best friend. We've been best buds for 18 years, and even though we don't get to see each other often, we are still close. I thought she'd appreciate a cheerful surprise in her mailbox to ward off those winter blahs.I used Kazan's sketch this week for my card.
I altered a mini-notebook (love to toss these in my purse to record everything from grocery lists to color combos), tied a ribbon around some Mary Englebreit post-its (from the $1 bins at Michael's), filled a baggie with cherry treats, and threw in a cherry pencil and cherry Chapstick (I never go anywhere without it).
Please take a moment to check out my One World-One Heart giveaway. Thanks for stopping by!
