Hello sweeties and welcome! I'm super excited to be sharing a couple projects over the next three days for the My Time Made Easy December Launch!
I got so excited when I initially saw this first template that I'll be showcasing today ... I sent Lauren a note right away to let her know just how {perfect} this was for me ... the timing couldn't be any better!
So, why don't we get right down to business ... introducing:
INSERT CARD HERE template and BOW TIED cut file!
For our family that lives across the miles, gift cards have become very popular to give for birthdays, anniversaries and holidays. And, as the kiddos have all grown and gotten older, gift cards are so much easier than shopping for that perfect gift, only to find the size or color is wrong ... or they simply don't like it! I don't know about you, but as the kids have gotten older, it seems I've lost my ability to pick out suitable clothes on my own ... everything I pick is 'lame'!!

So, when I first laid my eyes on this perfect little template, I knew exactly what I would do! I ran to the store and purchased gift cards to different shops and restaurants for each person on my 'across the miles' gift-giving list!

We'll be seeing each of these people 'live' this year -- we're all meeting up for a family reunion in Walt Disney World in a couple weeks to celebrate my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary!! I'll be able to hand carry these adorable little gift card boxes and hand deliver them to each person ... how cool is that! No mailing for me this year -- yippiee!

But, if you had to mail this little cutie patootie, no problem-o ... small enough to fit in the smallest 1st class box available at the post office and you can click and ship from home too -- love that option!!

So, I spent just about two hours printing papers, cutting out templates for the boxes, cutting out cut files for the bows and ornaments and then assembling. Easy peesy ... five presents that I can check off my list -- viola!

I love how the boys gifts are so masculine looking with the argyle papers and the girls gifts are pretty in pink! I know the recipients will love these sweet treats ... and the nice thing is that they can reuse the box to give a gift card to someone they know in the future!! I wonder where my little boxes will turn up next??

When you need a 'little something' but don't want to just walk up and hand someone a gift card, this little box is just perfect! It takes only minutes to assemble and makes such a special presentation! Adorable for teacher gifts, administrative assistants, service personnel, neighbors ... and the list goes on!
I'm LOVIN' this template ... one of my all-time favs from My Time Made Easy!
