A VERY Exciting Black Friday Blog Hop...

I was SO uber-UBER-excited when Taylor Van Bruggen contacted me asking me if I'd like to participate in her Black Friday Blog Hop.  Uhhhhh, YEAH!   I couldn't respond fast enough!   I must admit though that when I saw what we'd be doing I was a bit scared as I'm not always the best at 3D/altered stuff...

Well let me just TELL you-her Perfect Package Card Boxes are a DREAM to work with!!!!  I am
smitten after making just ONE and I will definitely be ordering a ton of these to make Holiday gifts this year.   You'll see what I mean if you try one-they are SUPER sturdy, perfect to store A2 cards or other gift ideas, and SO MUCH FUN to decorate!

I used my favorite Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly DP, and some Prism cardstock.  A lot of these particular items can be found in Taylor's Christmas Key Ingredients.   Have you guys worked much with Prism cardstock?  It's definitely become my favorite cardstock to work with besides the Neenah that I color with.  I just love it, and I ADORE the colors it comes in!  You can check out the line of Prism available in the TE store HERE.

I also made some cards for this set using the "Wings of Joy" stamp set as well as using that on the front of the box as well.

Like what you see?  I sure hope so because I had an absolute BLAST making this, and finished it up just in time to bring to my Mom's as a hostess gift for our wonderful Thanskgiving dinner we had yesterday.   I have about oh...40 or so more cards to finish for her, LOL..but here are a few of the highlights from the box I gave her:
