What is it?

I learned from a very young age to never judge a book by it's cover.  Appearances can be deceiving.  It's what's on the inside that counts.  All the lessons mom and dad lectured to me throughout my childhood.  Well, they were right!


It appears to be a box.  Not a plain box, but one with flowers on the outside.  Nothing to write home about right?  Just wait.  Once you take the box top off...


A full stationary set is inside.  Cards w/ envelopes, 3x3 cards, gift tags, address book and a sleeve to hold stamps.

Now who wouldn't love a gift with one of these tags attached to it?


3 x 3 cards made with leftover scraps.  I never throw anything away.  


Address book on the left to jot down addresses, birthdays, phone numbers, etc.  And a small pocket perfect for stamps.  


A set of matching cards.  Again, all made with scraps.  Just goes to show that hoarding does pay off!  

Supplies:
Paper - SU DSP, SU Cardstock in Basic Gray, Crumb Cake and Baja Breeze
Other - Satin Ribbon in Basic Gray, Small and Large Tag punch by SU, eyelets, cropadile, silver elastic cord
