CHALLENGES

Box for small gift or gift card

matching card

Today I am going to make a few different cards for challenges http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com  . 
The contest is based around using a cartridge that you haven't used for 6 months.  This was a challenge for me since I don't have many cartridges and most of the ones I do have are less than 6 months old.  However, I did find two that I haven't really found the time to play with-"Tie the Knot" and "Sentimentals"  However, I decided to go thru paper stacks that I haven't used for a while.  I have alot of neglected paper-just keep on buying more and forgetting about what I have.  This is a box for a wedding present-(gift Card)  with a matching card. I didn't put a sentiment on because I don't exactly know wht I am using them for.I am hoping one of my nephews  will get engaged
