Happy Friday Everyone!! I can't believe the weekend is upon us already!! Boy is it ever going to be a cold one. This morning it is below zero and windy. What a great day to stay indoors nestled in with a cup of hot cocoa....mmm....

Today I have a few different projects and cards to share with you! A couple of weeks ago, I began using Leigh Ann Baird's templates. They are so fun and easy to create with!! I was so excited when she asked me to join her team!!! Thanks Leigh Ann! I am so excited to be working with you and your talented team!


Anywho.....today Leigh Ann is having a new release of four different templates!! Each of the team members will displaying a different template. Today I will be sharing the cute carton template. I did both a mini and a bigger cute carton. These templates come as a set.



The sentiment on the carton above is from Our Daily Bread Designs Nest to be release on Febraury 1st. The little nest is from He is my Refuge also from ODBD's upcoming releases. The paper is NEW from Basic Grey's Origins! The bird flying image is a punch from Martha Stewart. The ribbon is soft suede from Stampin Up. This template was super fun to create with and only takes one sheet of paper. The template does not have a circle on it but I thought it would be fun to see the goodies inside so I used a spellbinders die and created a circle opening that I covered with transparency film. I filled the carton with Gourmet Jelly Eggs. This carton can really hold more than you think too!

Recipe:
Template: Leigh Ann Bairds smaller version included in the Cute Carton Template
Stamps: Our Daily bread Designs sneak peaks to be released February 1: Nest, He is my Refuge(for little nest)
Paper: Basic Grey Origins, White, Bitter Chocolate Bazill
Accessories: Spanish moss, MS bird punch, Circle Nestabilities, SU Soft Suede Ribbon, transparency, cropodile, Cuttlebug Vintage folder


This cute carton uses the sneak peak of He Is my Refuge from Our Daily Bread Designs. I am so
loving all the different birds Kelley is coming out with at ODBD. They are so fun to color!! I colored the image with Prisma Color Pencils and gamsol, cut it our, popped it up on dimensionals and adhered it on a dry embossed nesties circle which I embossed with the Cuttlebug Vintage folder. The dp is from Making Memories Black Tie.

Large carton Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs-He is my Refuge, Happy Birthday
Paper: Making Memories: Black Tie, Black and White CS

Below zero! I remember why we moved here! That's not even Bbrrrr-- The "B" would get stuck to your lips!

Wow the milk carton design is great! It would be great for some of those small Valentine's heart's or a note keeper for a child. It's beautiful. I like the way you worked with the "Bear Hugs" she looks great.

Everything is the same here. I will be gone most of the weekend. Have a wonderful one, and many Blessings, my friend.
