Is it you??? :)
I know a few people celebrating this week - and I must say, they're all pretty darn special!
I'm here with one more project from My Time Made Easy. I went simple and clean, monochromatic, and am quite pleased with my results. I needed packaging for a necklace and earring set I picked up for a friend. I thought the You've Got Mail template would be a nice touch -- when you pull open the front of the mailbox, there it is!
Here's the view from the front:
The base of my template uses some cardstock from Couture Cardstock, called Silent Night. The front and side panels are the fabulous Ga Ga for Gingham paper by Kristin, also in silent night. Of course, in retrospect, I wish I had made my paper double sided...*sigh*. Not sure what I was thinking there.
Anywhoo -- *giggle* here is the mailbox open, so you can see the very "sparkalay" necklace and earrings. Doesn't it just sit in there so nicely??
Now -- for the details on the giveaway -- Lauren has generously put up for grabs $100 in Gift Certificates to My Time Made Easy! Yes, $100!!! But you have to do a little work for it -- here are the rules:

1 – 200 of 283 Newer› Newest»I really liked the rich blue color you used and I didn't even think to use this template for a gift box. I for some reason thought of it as more for candy.....I don't know why?? Anyway, THANKS for getting my head out of the fog to see the possibilities for this template!!
I loved when you chose to use clear acetate for your mailbox project...just so we could see which chocolate was inside.
Ohhh wowww Tracey,what beautiful.
Hugs Riet.x
This is so adorable. I love the dp you used. A wonderful gift for anyone.
So cute! i like the colors you used for the mailbox!
What a cute idea for sending your necklace and earings..I think your mail box is a gift itself.
What a great job, and great idea. Loved the way you put the owl on....I'm a big fan of owls...
Mary Juckett

I love the colors and fun project you made today...wish it was my birthday ;)
What a great idea! Another wonderful way to use this template. Thanks for showing how it opens and I really like the color combo on this one!
Beautiful project today. Thanks for showing the blue - I love that shade and now I gotta get that digi paper pack! Lets see - one favorite of the week - thats hard - cuz they are so cute - but I would say the acetate door so the goodness inside peeks out.
whow another great inspiration piece thanks for sharing all your creativity with us
Just a beautiful job on your box. I love that you matched the packaging to go with the color of the necklace and earrings inside. That cute little oven packaging is very versatile.
Wow, this is so cute. Love the colors and Details....

I loved, loved, loved your Ipod card! It is just perfect for my DH's valentine card. thanks for the great idea!
Great box...love the blue color you used. I am amazed at what all you all came up with for this little box. That is a neat idea to use it for a gift box for jewelry.
Gorgeous box, i am falling more in love with this template with every blog - it is stunning as a jewelery gift box and the colours you have used are so rich and fabulous!
You had me at gingham! I just love gingham. And then the cute mailbox template to boot! Perfect, Perfect, Perfect. Gimme! :)
Tracey- I love the colors you chose on this one and how it opens, but I must say your acetate one is adorable. I look at it and think about a childs reaction to it and it would be so fun! Kudos on that one too. I would love to enter the contest but will be on vacation till the 15th so can't check back until then.... so hold my prize (wink!).
This is the cutest box I have seen to give someone jewelry. Wow! So pretty!
I have to admit that I am partial to the little owl. How sweet what you did with this template.

I really think the owl is my favorite of all the critters in the collection. My daughter and I craft together (she is much more prolific than I am), and we are both in an owl phase. We just love everything owls.
I like the color combination of the bright blue on the mail box, makes one think of the US Mail colors, great idea.
Nancy
