Purim !

Purim, to those who aren't familiar with it, is a Jewish holiday, where we put on customs (well, kids mostly) and send "mishloach manot" ("sending of portions" according to The Book of Esther).
So this is the "Mishloach Manot" I made. It's made of 2 coffee tins (empty, of course), that I cleaned & covered.

The first, I wrapped in a brownish paper, and glued on it green bristol paper doodles cut in my brand new Cuttlebug machine. The tiny flowers were punched out of scrap paper, and then I covered everything with a transparent sticky book cover.







The second, I wrapped in a grayish paper, and glued on it paper paisleys cut in my brand new Cuttlebug machine. Those paisley - some of them - are made with tiny bits & pieces such as flowers, leaves and dots. Then I covered everything with a transparent sticky book cover.









The card I added was not what I planned. I started out wanting to use an embossing folder in my Cuttlebug, and when I got the result - the whole card changed. It's a simple card, but very fitting, in my opinion.






And to end it all - a little handmade gift - a beaded key chain:

דיילי, עבודות מקסימות. הקופסאות נהדרות ומהוות משלוח מנות מיוחד שישאר ויזכר לאורך זמן.
בהזדמנות זו גם אחזק את ידייך ביחס לקיטים הדיגיטליים שאת יוצרת. יום אחד אולי גם אצור דפים משולבים.

כל הכבוד
מיכל
