Mini Milk Carton Die Idea

MAD Challenge - Day 16!

My Making A Difference Project Ideas for today is going to someone I don't know!  Yep, a total stranger!  I am going to give this little guy to the next lady who checks out my groceries at the store! 

I made this little birdhouse using LOTS of new goodies!

The box is created with the Big Shot and the new Mini Milk Carton Die from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  Simply cut out the box from So Saffron cardstock and assemble! Then I cut a 2 x 4 piece of Soft Suede card stock, folded it in half, then ran it through the perfect polka dot impressions folder for the Big Shot. I then made the fancy edge w/ the new Scallop border punch from the Sale-A-Bration special. Attached it to the roof w/ Tombo Multi-Purpose Adhesive.

The 'hole' for the birdhouse is just a 1" circle punched from chocolate chip cardstock.  The bird is SUPER EASY to do with our NEW Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch.  I punched it from the new Sweet Pea designer series paper, and used one side for the bird, and the other for his wing and the branch.  I added dimension by using dimensionals.

Yes, I filled it with chocolate!

I am sure to brighten her day!  I can't wait to meet her and surprise her!  You know... you just never know what someone is going through today.  I pray that God will give me eyes to see everything that I've been missing.... And that this gift will be a blessing.  Take the challenge... give a gift to a stranger today.... how about paying for the person behind you at the drive through????

Be a blessing.... not just to those you know, but to those you don't!
