Matchbox Birthday Present

Cute isn't it? Surprising just how this gift came about. At 8:15 this morning, I get a phone call from one of my daughter's friend's mother. She is inviting us to a birthday party that day at 4 pm. Today was a Civic Holiday here in Canada but stores are open but I challenged myself to make a gift with what I had on hand. I have a "little" gift box stashed away for such occasions as this. Believe me, I have had many "surprise" parties so it has become neccessary.I used the matchbox die from Stampin' Up to make three individual boxes and the sleeves that go with them. I am really loving the Big Shot these days. My four old son had an emergency during the adhesion process so it looks slightly off. Tombow was not exactly very forgiving. Included in each of the sleeves are little gifts. The first sleeve has a pair of barettes using the Fleurettes I from last year's catalogue. The second drawer holds 3 lip smackers. Every little girl loves to put these on and in the last drawer is a bag of skittles.
I am going to make another one when I am not feeling so rushed. Until next time.....
Happy Stamping,
Danita
