On My Way!

I am so excited to be on my way to CHA in Chicago today!! I can't wait to get there and meet some of my fellow i {heart} papers DT members IRL! I've been busy making a few things to post while I'm gone and most of my inspiration came from the week long Fan Club challenges posted at SCS. Are you a fan club member? You should be- each month the exclusive fan club Dirty Dozen gallery is overflowing with inspiration! Once a year they host a week long challenge just for fan club members to play along in. Just a little perk to being a member! Anyways, my first project covers 3 challenges and is a little gifty for my CHA room mate! I used a Starbuck's Frappaccino bottle and wrapped some DP around the outside. I added some fun trim I found at Walmart and some rolled paper flowers along with a sentiment. The top is also decorated with the same DP and a corduroy brad. I filled it with chocolate kisses (who doesn't like chocolate as a gift?!)

Thanks for stopping by!

stamps: With all my Heart (SU!)
ink: tangerine tango (SU!)
paper: Ooo la la DP (MME); kiwi kiss, old olive, tangerine tango (SU!)
accessories: beaded trim (Walmart); oval punches, corduroy brad (SU!); orange silk ribbon (Creative Impressions)
