Good Morning Saturday...
I always find myself looking for "stuff" to alter while grocery shopping. The same day that The GG's came over (last weekend) I was at the grocery store and thought that it would be fun to alter some gum. Do you do this? I know Jodie does, because when she came over, she went right to work on one of the other gum packs that I purchased. I thought that these would make great lil' goodies to give to someone, ya know? The 1st pack was a pack of Orbit, which I covered using the 3 
Bug's Playtime Caboodle Kit, and used a couple of tags that came with that kit as well. Ribbon was from my stash of ribbons - this one I remember came from Sistah Allison.
The 2nd pack was a covered pack of Trident done by Jodie. She covered it using SU! paper scraps that I had, and then prettying it up with Prima Flowers. So kinda like we each made one for a girl, one for a boy. She used Stickles for the middle of each of her flowers.
These were easy to make, and in a minimal amount of time. So, the next time you wanna give something small 
with a BIG impact, just cover and alter it with the products you have on hand, and I am sure it's receiver will be more than tickled to receive such a wonderful thoughtful item from you. They might not even want to open it up!!! WARNING: DO NOT MAKE THESE for your children's classmates - they will NOT appreciate it, you may hear back from your child that they have RIPPED open your creation, and threw it
away....LOL!!! It's a true life lesson learned. =0)
Have a wonderful Saturday, Friends... I'll be back with some Sarah Kay creations by Rina....
Big Hugs,
Great new covers for the 2 packages of gum. You and Jodie did a great job. I have fun altering different packages all the time. I just altered a tic-tac container last week for some co-workers as beginning of the school year little treat.

Aloha Jen!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! Both you and Jodie did an awesome job altering these packs of gum...very pretty! In a way I kind of miss working (well actually I miss the people!..lol) Adorable treats like these will brighten anyone's day!

Oh, thank you for all the ideas jen. I never thought about covering the gum. But you're right. It does give a big WOW factor. Big WOW with minimal work, now that's what I like! haha Hugs, Jenn
