Creative Retreat In A Box

Marvelous Monday #28

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 28th  in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday".  Perhaps in a small way I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings. 
I will continue with my Christmas ideas up until Christmas. Gift cards are a wonderful way to give someone a gift. The project today shows a great presentation for a gift card.  This box is a mini "pizza box" and it is the perfect size for a gift card. You can also add a little candy inside along with the gift card and you have a wonderful gift for someone. I hope you like my result:
Today's Scripture:
"If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he is in God.  And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.  God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him" 1 John 4:15-16.
Have a "Marvelous Monday"

Marvelous Monday #27

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 27th  in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday".  Perhaps in a small way I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings. 
I will continue with my Christmas ideas up until Christmas.  Today I would like share a quick and simple gift.  The small clear boxes are very nice to put items in.  I was able to fit 5 Ghiradelli Chocolate Squares perfectly inside.  I stamped a quick "For You" punched this out and added the stamped sentiment to a punched scalloped red circle.  My plan is to give my coworkers each one as a little gift. I hope you like the result.


Today's Scripture reading:
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach"
James 1:5-6
May you have a "Marvelous Monday"

I will continue to share Christmas ideas until Monday December 23, 2018.  Today I'm sharing a card that is sized 4"x6". This card conveys the message that is so important "Merry Christmas". I hope you like my result:

Today I would like to start sharing some Christmas ideas.  One thing I like to do is create Mini Recipe Albums to sell at my local Farmers Market Booth I shared them in this post:

With Christmas coming up, I thought it would be fun to create some Christmas themed Mini Recipe Albums. I hope you like my result:
