Right now I don't have anything I want to post since my swap isn't due yet and I don't want to post that, and the sneak peek I gave a few days ago was of a contest entry I did for Stampin' Up! that I have decided will be my November Stamp camp so I'll show it in November (sorry for the teaser)... plus I am working on a birthday present for my niece's first birthday right now... In other words I am stamping but just nothing that I can share with you right now.
SO, I'm pulling something out of the archives that I've never shown on my blog. This is a birthday/going away gift I did for one of my son's good friends that moved out of state last year. I called it a PenPal Kit and filled it with stamped stationary, envelopes, mini pen, mini address book and stamps! I bought the mini storage trunk at Walmart then decorated the top and added divider tabs with all the goods inside! I think it was a hit... I know my kids really liked it and I was able to pull it together fairly quickly! Here are a few more views:
If you decide to try this I recommend buying the address book or stamps first and letting those guide your color choices. For this set I believe I used Tempting Turquoise, Summer Sun and Bravo Burgundy.
Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to post a comment if you have any questions. I'll do my best to answer!

This is awesome! Love how you pulled the colors from your book!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I love the superheros stamps too--how perfect for kids. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! what a great idea and gift. You are a tease! (on those other sneak peeks) but then I think it is fun! Now I really can't wait to see what you came up with! good luck on the contest, I entered too (I think I know what category you did).
