September Stamp of the Month "Just Treats"

Welcome to our September Stamp of the Month blog hop, if you arrived here from Vandra's blog  you are in the right place if you arrived here by chance click on the link at the end of this post to go to the next blog.

This stamp set has some great sentiments for upcoming holidays, but of course they can be tweaked to be used for other things. The Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day and Halloween in a big way  but we in Australia don't but that doesn't mean we can't find another use for these lovely sentiments.

Friends bring such joy to our lives and having the opportunity to record these friendships in photos and journalling are very important to me. I have known these two lovely ladies for some years now and really enjoy spending time with them  When we get together we solve the world's problems and have solutions for all that ails mankind. We try to get together at least a couple times a year for a weekend of scrapbooking, eating goodies and catching up. It was quite funny that we each wore a black and white shirt this day.

This sentiment was perfect for this layout, the flower stamp is a sweet compliment to the papers that I used. I stamped off before stamping the two flowers that are lighter in colour, I tried to replicate the look of the flowers in the paper.

Father's day is this Sunday so I thought I would make a little box to hold some treats. I used what is supposed to be a Halloween stamp but by adding the "for someone special" it can work for Father's Day or any other event. This is a standard 4"x4" lidded box, you can find instructions on Youtube or Pinterest. The box will hold 8 Ferrero Roche chocolates or many other different small treats. The red Burlap ribbon adds just a little something special to the lid.
