Favor Me!

So I wish they'd accomplish cloning humans already!  So far this summer has been busy and there are always so many things that I want to be doing that sometimes it would be really helpful if I could be in multiple places at once, hence the wish for cloning.  Anyways somehow I manged to finally get this post together and I'm pretty excited for it.  I’ve got a fun little project this week, favor boxes!













These precious little boxes are superb for sharing with guests at your latest soirée. Or make them as a gift for a friend, something a little different from a card.

Either way go to my Facebook page, and get the free templates for the boxes under the ‘Exclusive Content’ tab.  (Update: May 2012:  The templates are no longer on Facebook.  You can leave me a comment at the end of the post and I will share them with you personally) Then follow my tutorial below to learn how to make your own.

Now you can decorate your boxes any way you like.  I’ve made two.  One that would be so cute at a wedding reception;  one at each place setting as a thank you from the bride and groom.  The second one has a little window cut out where you can actually see the little goodies waiting for you inside.  Perfect as party favors or make a larger version and fill it with home made cookies for a friend.

Have fun with your boxes!
