Today I'm joining the WMS Blog Party - this month the theme is Summer Time Fun!
The box measures approximately 4 1/4" x 2 3/4" x 1 1/2" (of course the Tootsie Rolls are LONG gone!)
Here's the panel I made for the front - stamps from My Island and Free Spirit Boy. I layered orange card stock over red - and sponged the edges with Ranger Distress Wild Honey Ink.
Here's the back panel - stamps from My Island, Playful Pinwheels, Free Spirit Sentiments, Way Out West. I adhered some orange twill around the sides using Scor Tape.
And when you open it up - there's a little brown bag of crayons - stamps from Playful Pinwheels
AND under the crayons are tucked some little cards to color!
I made some for boys and some for girls as samples - Stamps from Half Pint Heroes,
stamps from Half Pint Heroes and Half Pint Heroines
stamps from Heroines - Fairy Princess and Half Pint Heroines
