Now for the show 'n tell....



I made the ultimate gift for the MOM On The GO



An embellished 3-d gift card holder...



(I would HOP for joy if someone handed me one of these!)


This gift set is hopping into these challenges:
Digi Doodle Shop’s Best Challenge #31 Anything goes

Charisma Cardz Match Master (designer cup and gift card)

365 cards 365 cards inspired…I was most inspired by the brown wave-like flourishes surrounding “a.n.c.c.e.” –have you seen the top of the cup? 

BAH-HUMBUG Presents

Our Creative Corner Inspiration Challenge-the soft earthy colors, with hints of green and brown


*********************************************
I am always on the go!!



Some days I look like this image of mine...





MOM On The GO –digi by ARTish



Although I'd need a bigger pouch as I have 3 kiddos.



And I LOVE espresso...I'm hard pressed



to find people that do not frequent their local barista daily



(mine know me by name/ and beverage)



"Tish/ iced Venti Starbucks Double Shot Non-fat"



note~ I reprinted the image larger and applied the



(hand/ to-go cup) portion directly to the gift card



"Hand over the coffee and no one gets hurt!"




Just think how much HOPPING your friends and family



could do with a gift card holder like this one equipped with coffee dollars...



There would definitely be added 'perk' to their step!





Remember to become a follower



and leave a comment to be in the running for the prizes. :)



You now boing over to...
