I made this card for a friend who just re-entered the work force! She is a fabby crafty person and is still crafting all the time but now has a super cool new job! She actually introduced me to inking and when I asked her to show me how she cut off a piece of her foam sponge and gave it to me. awww. I still have the sponge! (sentimental or is that gross.?.?.) So I had to do some inking around the edges on this card. :)

MCT - Yummy Envelope!

Today is Totally Treats Tuesday over at My Creative Time. 

I made this super cute envelope to add some treats in for Emmaline to put in her stocking. I haven't started her on "sugar" yet (she gets fruit but that's it) so it will probably have some crackers in it. She is just like my husband - a carb-a-vore. If I gave her the option of having only carbs for every meal - the girl would take it. 

Recipe:
MCT: Scallop Stitched Envelope Die 
MCT: All Around Holiday Stamps (stars, present, round sentiment)
MCT: Mixed Holiday Sentiments (warm holiday wishes)
Jillibean Soup: Christmas Cheer Chowder
Twine: May Arts Burlap String SM-09
Xyron: Mega Runner
Xyron: Foam Dimensional Tape made with 9" Creative Station
Xyron: 3/16" Adhesive Dots

I was pinspired by this challenge! I drew from the colors. So fun!
