PPA 181 Sketch Challenge: pretty packaging - not a single stamp



So I went shopping today and started wrapping up the goodies after dinner. I had brought home this cardboard tray to reuse. I had ordered some light bulbs for work and they were all standing up in this tray. I just couldn't throw it out because I just knew I'd be able to use it somehow. I already knew I wanted to make a sliding jacket for it.

Well, I checked my email and saw the PPA Sketch Challenge. I had kept the remnant of a Paper Pumpkin kit I had recently put together because the chevron pieces left a cool design on the paper strip - low and behold the sketch challenge called for chevrons!

I nestled three lotions from Bath and Body Works in the tray with some tissue paper I had kept from last year. I continued the turquoise and blue theme with the designer series paper stack and the rest just came together. The indigo tab is the perfect place to write the recipients name, don't you think?
