A Leftover Gift Idea

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that my stamping presentation for convention this year focused on gift giving ideas. I absolutely loved it!

I spent hours, along with Mom Pat and Sara and Shalae, creating in my stamp studio, and we fed on each other’s enthusiasm. By the time convention rolled around, I had way more projects than I could ever show on stage, so we ended up picking and choosing.

I can’t bear to not share some of these projects, though, so I thought I’d share one with you while I'm in Australia. (I’m afraid I’d bore you if I showed them all!)

I actually arranged for this to be posted while I was gone, so there would be at least a little activity on the blog while I was Down Under rewarding and recognizing our high-achievers in Australia and New Zealand. I'll be back on Monday and be excited to share a little about how that event went.

But for now, here's a fun little treat box for a friend. We packed it with some of our favorite chocolates--Ghiradelli! But you can load it with any treat at all!

[Maria M.]

Please post the rest of the convention projects you did not show. I love to see all the things you stamp and create! It would never be boring!

[Twila Davis]

Super cute! Love your color choices.

[Terry Molineux]

OMGosh Shelli you can never BORE US with your creations. Quite the opposite, I am sure everyone will agree! Love this idea and I will be sure to case this for my next WORKSHOP!!!

Cannot wait to see what happened DOWN UNDER...looking forward to you sharing with us.

Have a great day!

Terry~~

How Cute! Please don't hesitate to post all your work. We don't ever get bored. We love your work and ideas. They spark our imaginations and creative processes. (is that spelled right??)

[Elissa Gilbert]

I love that! I love how you used the curly label punch on the box opening. Adding a little punch there sure makes opening the box easier, and it's so pretty! Can't wait to see more, and we could never get bored!!!

[Michelle Sturgeon]

Very cute little gift box!

[Ruth Hinds]

Oh, share them all, Shelli! We would love to see them!!

[Tonya Moreton]

Shelli, one thing you can never be thought of is boring! Your are truly more inspiring, more creative and more sharing than any other person I have been blessed to meet. I am truly thankful I was finally able to attend my first convention this year and more so to meet you personally (and have you sign my BAB's paw and ear tag). I can say in all sincerity that meeting you, attending convention and being chosen to be a make & take helper has re-energized me personally and I hope professionally as well.
I have been sharing my enthusiasm with everyone I talk to and they are inspired and excited too. Most of all my girls (Trinity-8 and Ashley-6) have decided that they need to attend convention next year as well, to meet you and have you sign their bears paw's as well (regret not standing in line on Saturday to have you do that) so that their bears can be as special as Mommy's.
My husband would not want me telling you this, but even he goes into my craft room to make me cards for all occasions using my stamps, paper and embellishments.
Thank you so very much for all you do, all you give and the opportunity you provide. You have forever touched my heart and changed my life and the life of my family.

Shelli,

You need to show them all I was unable to attend convention this year.

Have a great day

I'm truly inspired by your creations!!! You definitely don't bore us! Please post more when you have a chance! Hope you have a great time down under!!

[Wendie Waldman]

We all have the same dilema - so much to share, so little time!! Love this gift idea, and the fact that SU is so inspiring.

[Roberta]

I'd love to see them all! Your projects are always so unique and inspriring! We love to learn from the "master"!:)
Thanks for taking time to share with us,
"Rubberta"

[Dena]

...afraid you'd bore us....are you KIDDING me right now?? I don't think you could bore us if you tried!!

Have a GREAT trip "down under"....I'm sure we are all looking forward to hearing of your adventures!

[Dale]

These are so pretty Shelli.
Let me assure you (and I think I speak for everyone) you could never bore us with your projects or jottings.
I love hearing and seeing what you are up to.

[Amanda]

CUTE! Please post the rest of your gift ideas. I have been waiting for these ever since your fantastic presentation at convention.

[Danielle]

Please share all of the projects...NEVER a bore!!!! Gives us TONS of ideas to show our customers.

[Christina]

I love this cute little box. In your opinion, what is the best box die to purchase for someone like me who is in the beginning stages of building a die collection?

[Melanie Evans]

Shelli - come on......you know us stampers.....we're gluttons for stamp ideas/samples....Bring 'Em On!!! Melanie

[Desirée Spenst]

I personally would LOVE to see anything and everything you have ever created! Okay, maybe that's going a bit overboard, but rest assured that your faithful blog readers will never be bored with your beautiful projects! :)

[Sharon]

Shelli,

Post away Please! There is never too much inspiration, especially when it comes from you. You make such wonderful projects and with the help of your wonderful family I know these projects are all beautiful and amazing.
