Love the participation in this! I am late getting these out and I sincerely apologize. To get these in the mail tomorrow, I will post the directions here instead of including them in the envelope.
Basically...
*You use the mystery item on any project you'd like.
*You may alter it anyway you'd like.
*Please post it to this forum when you have it completed.
*Please try to complete it by the end of the month, if possible.

I got mine today. I forgot you were sending this and when I opened the envelope I wondered why you had sent me that! 
I finally remembered what it was for after a little while of thinking about it!
Now I must think of what to do with it.
|
vellumx
|
 ...ok, you should have seen my face when I opened the envelope......
since not everyone got it yet, I can't say anymore.....but talk about working with a blank canvas...hmmmmm......

I got mine today Erin. I kept looking for something in mine!! I thought is fell out so I was on all fours looking under the couch!! Then it dawned on me!!
|
trisha

Got mine today! Can't say that I ever received an envelope inside an envelope!
I can't wait to use it!
|
vellumx
|
geesh, and I was trying to be so secretive......
Ok, so now you know..I opened the envelope and found the envelope..opened the envelope and just starred into it.....Then I looked in the envelope it came in.....Good one Erin......
|
JustJenn
|
I got mine and I am figuring out something....the wheels are a turning!
Thanks Erin!

I made this card for Brooklyn. I have it sitting on her bed with the mum I made her today:)
Inside the card it says, I love you.
Thanks for the inspiration, Erin!

Oh Trisha, aren't you the sweetest mom!!..I know she will just love getting that cute card from you...I too was thinking of a little tag for inside, but I wish Nina were here for me to give it to her  Well, I'm taking your lead and making a card for Nina and mailing it to her....
|
trisha

I heard her squeal when she saw it.
She came and hugged me and told me thank you and that she loved it. I told her,
"Yeah, anyway, I want to reuse the stuff on it so give it back..."
She said, "Yeah, that's probably not going to happen."
ROFL!

ROFL!!!!.....how great!

ROFL!! That is so sweet Trisha!! I was going to use mine in a LO some how but now I some inspiration!! Thanks!!
|
JustJenn
|
Trisha, you are the sweetest! That was precious what you did for her today! I gotta use mine here soon on a layout!
|
ScrapNeNe
|
That is adorable Trisha! You are a really cool mom!
|
trisha
|
They are great kids, they make it easy:)
|
aunt e

Love it, Trisha! What a fantastic momma you are!
I apologize for the lack of instructions and such included. If you have participated in these in the past, I usually include a cute little message, but I let time slip away and I thought it was more important to pop them in the mail to you.
When I saw them, I was thinking of all the possibilities. For me, these remind me of elementary school when I was a kid. We put our milk change in them when I was in first grade. Just got me thinking and I hope it made you all think too! Let the creativity flow!

i dont' think i used them at school. jsut the bigger ones where my report card went.
|
vellumx
|
Erin, I just thought it was super funny getting it..we love the change; kept us on our toes....
Here is my card using the small envelope. As you can see, I made a hug tag for inside...
