Cut It Up Challenge #257 - Treat Box or Bag

Happy Friday crafters! I took a couple of days off at the end of last week and my husband and I went to the beach one day. It was wonderful and very relaxing. I didn't even care that it was crowded. I just read my kindle and listened to the waves. There is just something so magical about the ocean air. It sure was better than being at work!

Our Cut It Up Challenge this week is to create a Treat Box or Bag. I always love making boxes and bags and had fun making this one. I'm going to use for a gift and some candy for my friend Ellen. Her birthday is next week so the timing was perfect.

Paper: DCWV
Stamp: Newton's Nook Designs
Box: My Scrap Chick (cut on my Cricut Maker)
