a {present}ation...

A few weeks ago was my nephews 16th birthday...
{just saying that makes me feel very old!}
Anyhoo...me not being familiar w/ teenage boys,
wasn't for sure what he would want...
{at least in my price range :)}
{I have no brothers but E. being the youngest of 4 boys -
clued me in...
 that really food & money were the best gifts :)}

I put them both together...
{red & white divine twine wrapped around recycled box!}


&
filled the box with all kinds of sweets
packaged in groups of  16 - of course:)
also I tucked in $16 in greenbacks...

I used my Cavalinni number stamps to make a few of the tags,
along with some of our japanese masking tape, added some
kraft shred & a little banner...
super fun to put together & easily adaptable to whatever the occasion!

as for the yummy embellishments...
{sweets not included:)}
{cavalini stamps,masking tape & divine twine}
  are @ damask...
just drop us a line @ damaskdesigns@geetel.net!:)

  3. Cute, Amber! This is a really lame question, but.....did you package the cookies in bags that are just the right size for a stack of cookies? I saw them a few years ago, and forget what they are called and where I saw them. They were such nifty little bags! (doesn't take much to please me!)

  4. hi Lisa--
    The bags are just cellophane ones from the baking area @ Factory Card or Micheals. They are a little bigger then the cookies & come in a package of 50 {I think} ..
    Blessings!:)
