Summer Picnic...

Anybody up for a picnic? My husband issued a challenge to me ~ could I do anything with this old Clementine box? HA! Silly man ~ Of course I can! I made this a few months ago and submitted it to a few publications, but I think it was too late in the cycle for the summer issues ~ oh well. Even though most of the supplies are Stampin' Up!, I'm not gonna send it in to them because (1) I would have to mail it to them, (2) I won't get it back, and (3) I used a Cricut alphabet rather than stamps (and I am NOT revising it). Anyway, I was pleased with how it came out.

Supplies Used (All Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted): Stamps ~ Tart & Tangy; Textured Cardstock ~ Real Red, Old Olive, Bashful Blue & white; Pattern Paper ~ Summer Picnic; Scallop & circle punches; Real Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon; Ink ~ Real Red & Old Olive; Cricut Cartridge ~ Alphalicious by Provo Craft.

    That is adorable! Why don't you save it and submit it for next year? I love it that you recycled the box. I have always thought those boxes looked useful but never took the time! Really cute!
