Anything But A Card Monday at Bugaboo

I made this darling gift bag for our ABC Monday at
The image  is called
 
 
To make the box, take one sheet of 8.5 X 11 card stock.
Score the long sides in at 1 inch. This is one both sides.  Lay the cardstock the other direction (11 inch side). Score again at 5 inches and 6 inches to make the bottom of the box.  Fold score lines and start making the base of your box.  I cut in to the score line at the 6 inch side.  It is easier to square up the base of the box. Glue or tape the sides to secure.  Add your designer paper and decorate as you would like.  I added the striped piece to make the closer at the top and added the border with the bow.  Have fun! Be creative!

Meljens May 7th

Good morning Sweet Sketch Wednesday2 followers.
We have a fun challenge for you this week.
Our sponsor is Meljens Designs
Hope you will stop by and join us.
 
Melissa's Bio: My name is Melissa Jenkins, and I am a homeschooling mommy and wife to my best friend. We have two children, two cats and three hermit crabs. When I'm not drawing, I love spending lots of time with my family cuddling on the couch, playing games, going for walks, fishing, visiting the park & the zoo, collecting postage stamps, or just plain watching movies.
I've been an artist as long as I can remember - and I am inspired by everything around me. All of my digital stamp designs are inspired by my children (and husband!) and things they do, our cats, things we see on nature walks and daily 'adventures', or memories I have of my childhood. Animals too - I love animals! Art is an uplifting thing for me, and I love designing cute tidbits of art that makes people smile.
I draw all of my little creations by hand. A lot of love goes into my art! Each of my designs is sketched in pencil, inked with a black Micron pen, then scanned in and lightly cleaned up so it will look crisp when you print it.
I LOVE inspiring crafters. I am not very talented at making cards myself, so I LOVE seeing all of the beautiful things that you make with my digital stamps. I couldn't ask for a better blessing!
