Off to Australia.....

My daughter flew to Australia for a business trip on Friday!! I know you are all feeling very sorry for her having to go to Australia on business, LOL. Anyway I wanted to send her off with a little piece of me since I couldn't go with her in person. I saw this wonderful altered box in one of my Paper Craft magazines that I though would be perfect.  I crafted her a necklace, to wear on her venture, to put inside.










Supplies used: box - recycled Coldwater Creek jewelry box; patterned papers from Tim Holtz Crowded Attic paper pad; plate from Tim Holtz Ornate Plates; ink - brown by ColorBox; fonts - CAC Champagne, Bickham Script Pro, AppleGothic; heart punches - Fiskars, Martha Stewart; rhinestone - Kaiser Craft; trim - my stash; sewing machine; chain - Bead Landing from Michaels; Memory Frame by Inkssentials for Ranger; jewelry findings- Michaels; crystals - my stash; dictionary page; heart rhinestone - Martha Stewart; Glossy Accents.

The theme of the hop is to create a project that represents things you would bring to a party. Here is my project:

I started with a galvanized bucket I had in my garage. It has chicken wire around it, which I wove ribbon through to decorate it and filled it with shredded paper.

I downloaded the Shindig Handmade Gifts Printable Project from ScrapNfonts. I printed the coaster pages on white cardstock, cut them out and laminated them. then glued them on some coasters I bought at the dollar store.

I printed out the cocktail recipe pages, cut them out, laminated them, hole punched them and put them on a ring which I decorated with some ribbon.

I recycled some empty American Crafts containers I had. I printed the snack strips out, glued them to some strips of patterned paper, attached them to my American Crafts conatiners and filled them up with pretzels, peanuts and pistachios.

Printed and made a tag with my Making memories Tag Maker for the wine bottle opener.


Printed the confetti labels, ran them through my Big Shot with a spellbinders die, and glued them to pattern paper which I had also cut out with spellbinders. Attached them to some confetti I purchased at the dollar store.

I printed out the cocktail napkin strip, attached it to a strip of pattern paper and then encircled a box of cocktail napkins with it.

While I was at the Dollar Store I also picked up some cocktail umbrellas and a couple wine glasses that I thought went perfect in my basket.


For a very small amount of cash I have a fun and festive container of goodies to take to a party!!


Now for some blog candy, a mini album and some stamps:
All you have to do to be entered in the drawing is to be a follower and leave a comment on this post. I will pick a winner on Monday. Good Luck!

Now you are off to see Lucianna at Dilsaver Designs!
