Happy Birthday Erika!



I have to say that I really like leaving little surprises in people mailboxes in the staff lounge ... although I pretty much got busted big time on this one! Perhaps I need to put a bright red button of sorts on Erika's mailbox so I don't have to hunt for it! Her box is up HIGH like mine is ... so when we check mail we jump up and down or we swipe our hand over the shelf like we are dusting!

For some reason I have a vision of something pink and brown in design ... so I made a b-line to Joann's right after school and found the designer paper I wanted to use.

I was pretty jazzed about trying out a new box pattern my upline shared with me. This box holds approx. 6 cards and envies without a lot of ribbon. I really needed to make the box a tad bit larger to fit more, so I SQUEEZED 4 cards and envies in one box and woola!

I will be using that pattern again. Would this be cool to have several of these made up ahead of time to have on hand?

  1. Yes, you did get "busted"...BUT how much I love these cards and their sweet box. I've had two birthdays for others come along and it was hard for me to use them...even though I know that's what they were for. You're the best! Thanks for thinking of me and I love brown. I loved brown when I was little and NOBODY chose that color (it wasn't cool then).
