Well, it's time for another fun Papertrey Ink blog hop! The challenge this month was to create a quick and inexpensive wrap or tag that could be used for "grab and go" gifts for the holidays. Well, the other night I was quickly trying to make my kids' teacher and bus driver gifts. I thought, "Oh, these will be perfect for the blog hop, too!" Well, I think most people were thinking of Christmas, while I have a Thanksgiving project to share. Oh, well, it's all for fun, right!
These templates go together quickly. And using just a few sheets of cardstock, and part of a sheet of designer paper, these are cheaper than any packaging from the dollar store [my other source for last minute wrapping]. I stamped the "I am thankful for you" stamp, adhered it to a scalloped circle, and was going to find a way to attach it to the outside of the package. The pattern seemed too busy to me, and was competing with the stamped image. So I was just going to save them for another project, when my mom said, "Why don't you glue them on the inside of the package?" She saved the day! I didn't get the greatest picture of these the other night. Then today I found out that my son forgot to give his two teachers their boxes. I was bummed they didn't get their goodies, but excited to at least get a better picture. He brought them to me from his backpack.....totally smashed! Oh, well.Enjoy your Thanksgiving! I've got my pie ready, hot wings dip ready, deviled eggs cooked but not smashed. I'm ready to put my feet up and get some inspiration. The eggs can wait!

Ohhh noooo they came back smooshed!! My son forgets everything too... But these little packages are the cutest and, they are only quick and easy and fun for super crafty people like Y O U. Love the colors on these - they are going to love them.
That is a great idea putting the tag on the inside lid. So glad you were able to hop this time, cute blog.
Beautiful! One of my all time fave templates - I used them as favor boxes/placecards tonight for Thanksgiving! :-)
Super cuteness!!
Love the colors and patterned paper you chose for this. What a shame the boxes got smashed. Doesn't matter if they're little boys or grown men though. They don't appreciate the work we women do to make handmade gifts.
