Make It a Movie Night

Before I continue on with my project, I'd like to take this time to salute all the brave veterans who have represented our great country. I try to think what it would be like to be in their shoes, but I know it's 1000 times worse than what I imagine. 

I especially remember my father today who has served in two wars: the Korean War and WWII. He is a survivor of the infamous Bataan Death March which took place in the Philippines during WWII. I am so proud of him and love him dearly. He now has Alzheimer's Disease and although he no longer remembers who I am, he still remembers what he went through as a young man in the war. This photo was taken last year at my niece's wedding. During the time the photo was taken, he still knew who I was. Anyway, I just wanted to share this with you during this Veterans Day. Oh, one more thing, today is my daughter's birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHELSEA! I LOVE YOU!

Now, on to more crafting...

Today I wanted to share this ultra simple Totally Tote-Able container. This one was literally put together in just a few minutes.  I already had the pieces cut out, I just didn't know what to do with them yet. But last night as I was going through my pantry, I found some microwaveable popcorn and some hot cocoa mix and thought how perfect it would be as a gift for someone -- and they fit perfectly inside! OK, I forgot to add the video store gift card while I was taking these photos, so just pretend it's inside the box.

I love transparent containers! This one was cut easily with my Cricut using the SVG file. I used red double stick tape to put it together, wrapped a large bow and added one of my MarshFellow images. I quickly trimmed it and tacked it on with a a snowflake brad and glue dots. This was a last minute project, so I didn't go all out with the embellishments, just a quick  tie of the ribbon. Simple.

As I mentioned in my last post, I will choose a random winner from yesterday's comments to receive a prize. The winner will receive the new "Totally Tote-Able" template along with the "Warm and Yummy Wishes" MarshFellow digital stamp image! And my random winner is.....

ERIKA:   Adela, I just love your templates! I have purchased the BasicGiftBag, HauteTote, MiniBakery and Teaset templates and I am having so much fun constructing them. I especially love the HauteTote. I love 3d designs and my template wish would have to be a 3d wheelbarrow to put flowers in.

Congrats, Erika! Send me an email and I'll get those right to you!

Remember that we will still continue to take comments until 6:00 pm on Sunday (Pacific Time) and each designer will announce their winners on Monday!

Take care and thanks so much for being a part of my day.
