I love looking around stores for new inspiration. Target is probably my favorite inspiration spot. I go through the gift bag asile and jot down layout ideas or I find these fun little buckets in the dollar spot. Well my latest inspiration piece came from... a pack of gum! Can you believe that? Here's what I did...

First I tore apart the gum box & traced it onto a piece of pumpkin cardstock.

Next, I cut it out and scored all the fold marks. Make sure you include the tabs so you get a nice fold.

My last step was to stamp my images all over the box ~ make sure you do this BEFORE you tape it together. Just fold the score makes and add some strong adhesive ~ VOILA!
