Sweet Sixteen Card and Box (Blog candy contest still open, scroll down)

The design team were asked to use the popcorn box from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. I cut it in pink and decided that with a matching card it would make a really sweet (pun intended) gift for a 16 year old. Just big enough to pop in a piece of jewellry. The lace is real, ribbon is American Crafts. The scallop on the card was cut with Plantin, and the ice cream cone was dotted with dew drops. The stamps are Studio G. Papers are DCWV baby girl nursery stack.

I went out shopping with Mike today - a rare enough event to be documented in history books. He needed some new shorts, the weather here is hotting up now. On the way back, after a delicious iced coffee, we went into a new super Walmart and I bought a sewing machine, just for using on cards and layouts. It is only a basic one, but has the added huge benefit of an automatic needle threader and bobbin winder. So all that squinting at needles and muttering about eye tests is a thing of the past - if I can ever decipher the instructions!
