Welcome to the Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. This month, we are sharing Christmas in July/Packaging. I created my Joy Bird Ghirardelli Squares Treat Box. I hope you will join me and 12 very talented Demonstrator Friends from the Creativity Abounds Design Team today for our monthly blog hop. We are a group of Demonstrators from around the world who get together monthly to create a tutorial that is available for sale. In addition to the tutorial, we blog with a different project but with the same theme. Also, we gather together to host a Mega Stamp Camp three times a year! Our next one is in October. You will love the projects each design team member makes, as they are extremely talented. Here they are.
Design Team
This month, the theme for the tutorial and this blog hop is Christmas in July/Packaging. How fun,right? I feel blessed to be among these talented women. For my project today, I decided to make my Joy Bird Ghirardelli Squares Treat Box. I just love making boxes. This box is not overly used so you may not have ever seen one, but I hope you like it. Here is my project. The supplies will be listed below.
