I have a secret....

....I wanted to keep this!! (If you were a loyal Friends watcher, then you know the quote I'm using here don't you??) I don't even have a little girl, but oh boy was this hard to pack up and give away!

On Thursday night, during my workshop a very good friend and client called with a rush order for a baby gift idea. I was happy to oblige, thus my late night stamping on Thursday and sleepy tired, lazy Friday morning.

But, I was just so happy with the finished product. An altered Stampendous tin, matching gift card and a hang tag for the gift packaging. Yes, packaging for the packaging!

I like to use the Mono Tombo Glue adhesive for these tins. You have to hold the paper in place for a second for it to dry, but I find it SO much easier to work with than double sided sticky tape. And it dries clear, no mess!

The baby's name, Sophia was made for the hang tag with my Karen Foster Snap Stamps, the paper used is the Stampin Up Petals and Paisley paper. The stamp set is Bundle of Joy which I stamped with Stazon and then colored with my SU Water Color Crayons.

The good news is that my client loved it as much as I did. I just got a really sweet note from her to say how pleased she is with it! I'll just have to admire the photos I took and hope someone else has a baby girl soon so I can do this again!
