Nope, not money but rather some pretty monochromatic green items. When I showed the Thinking of You cards the other day, I mentioned the green ones were for a gift basket for my massage therapist. She is awesome and really helps with these arthritic areas of mine so I wanted to give her a little something. I didn't know her favorite color but her company logo and items are all shades of green so I thought that might be a safe bet. Here is the gift basket...
The basket consists of a set of the "thinking..." cards - I used Papertrey's clearly creative boxes and packaged seven cards and envelopes into the box. Around the outside of the box, I created a little decorative "belt" that repeated the cuttlebug embossing to keep everything matching.
In the front of the basket, I added a decorated memo cube.
Using Papertrey stamps and Memento cottage ivy ink, I decorated the sides of the cube. I used to get my cubes from Annette over at Stamp on This. It seems she can no longer get them but I hear they have them at Oriental Trading. I'll need to check that out - these cubes are a great addition to gift baskets.
Lastly, I decorate a mini pad from Papertrey.
I spent most of my time looking for a good quote. I wanted something inspirational and I think I really hit it right with what I chose. The paper I used was Bobunny sweet pear and added some buttons and ribbon from Papertrey. The crystals are Swarovski (khaki color). I will leave you with a bigger form of the quote. It's a wonderful quote that really embodies living in the moment and enjoying life. Enjoy!
