At PTI Make it Monday #100 this week
Dawn McVey showed us how to package cards with oversized embellishments, there's a video tutorial HERE, check it out!
Out of the three ways, I tried the one using glassine bag, not only I think it is pretty, also because I have a pack of glassine bag bought from Papertrey Ink sometime ago and it is about time to make used of them.

Here's the oversized card that won't fit into the envelope its size

LESSology Challenge #21 ~ You are my sweetheart

Hello there, welcome to our first challenge of 2013 at LESSology

The challenge theme is "You are my sweetheart" 
to use heart(s) on your project, and remember to include a recycle item

I started with this gift box, first of all, I had to finish up the chocolate in the box right? : ) Yum...

next is to find the paper I want to dress up the box, and guess what, the paper for the box is from a magazine and the paper for the lid cost only 25 cents from Michaels

my newest HEART die cut, I just have to use this....

now just need to dig into my scrap jars to look for tiny pieces of left-over lace, burlap....

well, I like how it turned out, how about you?

I hope you stop by LESSology to check out the beautiful projects done by the team

and look at the fabulous prize package
