Challenge 9- Dana's Cookie Box

[Gigi]

Good grief Christy - it was all I could do to get one done!!

[CaseysAngel]

I got six now. I LOVE these things.LOL

I made so many to though because I made them smaller this yera. They were to big to be trying to fill for the shelter.LOL

[Gigi]

What a nice thing to do Christy - yes smaller would be better for that! Eager to see them.

[CaseysAngel]

Okay here are mine. They are quite a bit smaller. The way these are you get 2 out of a 12 by 12 sheet so they aren't so hard to fill.LOL The little tags with the tree's are foiled but it's hard to see.

So here are mine so I get two entries for this one darn it.LOL

[Gigi]

Those are adorable, Christy - really like the smaller size too!!

[corwins]

Im trying to get at least ONE challenge done but so far Im not doing so well. Staying too busy but I spose that is a good thing. I thought I would post the TWO boxes I did get done incase I dont get 6 finished. The RA is for a friend that works at Radiology Associates the other is for my sister. I cut them on two sided cardstock

I love how you put the name/initials in the center - really sets it off. Great idea.

Beautiful!

[LisaH]

Those are cool! Love the color choices

[Phyllis]

Gigi, love yours, love that paper.

Christy, oh my, you have really been busy. I love them and the smaller is a great idea. I will have to try that the next time.

Maxine, beautiful paper and I love the name and initials too, great idea.

[CaseysAngel]

[Maxine]

thanks all I fell in love with Danas Cookie boxes last year . I made a bunch of them for friends and topped them with photobows last christmas. here are some left over from last year. These are some that were rejects and remade. I know I wont be able to enter these as part of the challenge but I wanted to share.

Those are super cool. Now, you know you HAVE to tell about the photo bows...we need a tut for them!!

[Maxine]

Oh the photobows are easy You just put a picture in as the texture get it sized like you want it and print and cut. I think the file was from Nelda over at MTC but Im not sure. Last year at Christmas time she made a bow and used a picure of a Christmas trees sparkly lights and it was so pretty so I decided to put my family in there and started making tons of them. I think I made about 40 photobows last year. The file cuts the hole in the bow strips for you and you just put everything together with a brad. There actually is a tut on it a couple I think. Christy help me out here you know my memory is so bad. Christy or Dana or Beanie or Cece or one of the other girls on here will surely know more about it. So sorry Lisa my mind is leaving me on a daily basis lol. I would say it sucks to get old but it really doesnt ...its so much better than being dead. IMHO If I can get these last few items ready for pick up tomorrow I will see if I can find the tut if someone hasnt already posted it. Ive been like a squirrel collecting nuts for winter this summer. Too busy to even sit down and enjoy the forums. Hope everyone is doing good , happy healthy and crafting their arses off.

[Gigi]

OMG - those photobows are amazing. I am with Lisa (surprise!!) Want to know how to make them!!! Will have to go on the hunt for that file - what a wonderful idea.

I don't think a day goes by that I don't learn something new and I just love that about this group - you are all so willing to share.

Beautiful Maxine!

[Retta]
