By 'whipped up' I mean 'spent all day sitting on the floor (oh, my back is mad at me) cutting and gluing things between holding a fussing Audrey who kept demanding to be held.' But, you know, same thing. Before, we were using a notecard box that was, and I'm not kidding about this, ugly. So I cut up a flat rate box (since they're free) and folded and glued it together, then wrapped the outside and lined the inside with scrapbooking paper. I added the ribbon and the letters on the front, then put in the cards.
I really like how the flower on the front turned out. All I did was glue the ribbon to the box, then wrap the excess (about four inches) around a few times, gluing as I went.
When I thought I was done, I realized it wasn't decorated enough for me, and the separator cards were plain and kind of beat up. I used some card stock (I have far too much of it on hand), buttons and ribbon to fancy them up a bit.
It was a simple project, and I think I'll make another for my mom for Christmas. When I do I'll take pictures as I go, which I forgot to do this time (typical). I'm sure it would be a quick project too, assuming you don't have a clingy baby crying at you all day. Not that I mind...
She's worth it.
