I hate wrapping presents, but love using different things to give gifts in, so I thought this challenge would be a good opportunity to do that. It's Andy's nephews first birthday on Wednesday and we've got him a little outfit for the summer should the weather be nice this year.
So I thought I'd stick with the camouflage theme and I did this....
I used the measurements for the larger box, which fits the shorts and t-shirt in very nicely. The photo was taken at Fae's 21st meal which is the most recent one I have. I printed the camouflage onto cream cardstock and made a frame from the same card. Around the top I printed "jump to the jungle beat".
Recipe
Cardstock - cream card from Crafts Central
String - Morrisons
Skeleton Leaves - Freebie from Magazine a couple of years ago
Jump to the jungle beat - Bev's Jungle Birthday Fun - D.A.I.S.I.E company
