Best Friend Birthday Gift

The cute bath salt idea came from my stamping friend, Kathi, click her name for her blog and the recipe for mixing the salt with scent and color. I really love this idea. It is very economical and I scented the epson salt with fresh linen. I used one of my stamping up re-inkers (In blue) to color the salts. Since the ink is water based so it will wash off easily.

The card that I am giving to her this year is currently published in Just Cards Birthdays, click the name for ordering information. I usually receive a complimentary issue of the magazine, but I have not received this one yet. I will most likely contact the publisher so they can send one to me.

I used paper from bo-bunny press that coordinates. The package is wrapped in the paper and the little girl with the flower is a sizzix die gift card holder. Cut out and folded with the same paper. I knowthat the picture is not clear but the small wrapped box contains an altered arylic paper weight. I am also gift her two sheets of dog themed scrap paper for her use.

Many of the projects for the gift are altered. I really have enjoyed my creative time in my craft area today! I guess I need to stop procrastinating and get my house work taken care of. I guess I shouldn’t feel too guilty, I’ve done the laundry and balanced the check book!

Have a great weekend. Stay warm, dry and Stamp Happy!
