Some people like the mountains and some people like the desert. Both places have beautiful aspects but my happy place is anywhere that has palm trees.
If palm trees are nearby it’s a pretty safe bet that I can find a large body of water with a sandy beach. Warm breezes, waves splashing against the shore and sand between my toes is an anti-depressant to me. The Lord probably knew that if I lived in such a tropical place I would never accomplish anything so He stuck me right here in the land-locked middle!
Today’s project reminds me of my happy place and makes me want to sit poolside somewhere and sip a tall, fruity drink. Its a small gift box made using products from the Tropical Escape Suite from Stampin’ Up!
The box is a great size for small jewelry like a pair of earrings or necklace. It’s also roomy enough for some wrapped candy treats. I pulled colors from the Tropical Escape 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to make the box, tag and embellishments. Here is the video from my Facebook Live Coffee & a Card where we made the box.
