(Please look through all photos (and read my nonsense if you want)-I'm starting my giveaway!
Having just returned from the Sea to find my Summer kit waiting for me I was really inspired! I love these ocean colors of peach, sand (draft), aqua and cream and my favorite stamp is the Mermaid Tilda. Be sure to check out the whole collection (called Bon Voyage) on MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS! I was so inspired that I went for the whole gift ensemble! A rarity for me, fer sure! I loved every second of creating these things to show you. I ALWAYS use SCOR-TAPE to put projects like this together. It just holds SOOOO well!
The Trendy Tool Tote is from My Time Made Easy (and it was really EASY to make). The gift card box (yep, it's a little box) is also designed by Lauren, and is available at Papertrey Ink. It is one of three (for 5.OO!) called Cash or Charge. So worth the $! My friend LISA KIND constantly inspires me with her wonderful creations with simple templates!
Another friend, TRACY HARP made a 3D item the other day and printed another template to line her box! So clever that I copied her! I stamped the Apricot paper with a plaid bg stamp
The mermaid on the card.Please send a note if you have any questions-this post is SOOOO long!
The mermaid on the box (her tail is lighter).
Pics of the gift card box, which is a genius design! The card stands up in a little slot inside! Mine closes with a Basic Grey magnet.
Well, I got a little carried away with photos so I won't jabber anymore! (Well, a little more!)

OH MY GOSH!!!! I love your card!!!My daughter (6 years old)Loves mermaid...This started 2 years ago when we went to San Diego, Ca...We would go in the mornings to collect all of the shells we could find. Maddie was hoping to find a mermaid near the rocks that we would gather our precious shells..Both of us for the first time we got to see the ocean, gather shells, and pretending that the mermaids were watching us...My husband took photos of us.. I'll have to send you a couple and show you I'm so proud of them..Whn I opened your blog I thought ohhh my gosh, I would love to try to make a mermaid like yours and create a wonderful display of our photos with it..
