YeeHaw!!! Its a MFTeaser!

I am very excited about this project today. A little MFTeaser for you all, using the New Release (tonight) called Ride Em’ Cowgirl.

I have to say when I saw this set, I thought it was just adorable. When I got to actually PLAY with it, I totally fell in love with it.

 It was very QUICK and simple project. You know I’m all about that!

Better yet you probably already own what I used 😀 If not-it would be worth the purchase of this container (wink)!

I LOVE giving cards with matching gift containers. Sometimes IMO the container is so pretty, it may not meet the expectation of what is inside. Ever feel that way?

 I often make my own container’s and bags, but sometimes the PERFECT- already made- container is waiting for you to use, and you just need to realize it.

 Happy Trails Cookie Container

Here is proof that nothing should be thrown away!

I was in my stamp room-munching away on Somoas Girl Scout cookies-and playing with this set. I went into my template drawer, where I keep all my own templates, as well as other “I can’t throw this packaging away, I may NEED it someday” item, and saw my empty Sprite’s Brown Dot Prima box.

I saved mine after seeing one altered in Paper Crafts Feb 2008 edition- page 56 Hearts Treat container by Nicole Keller. In case you want another idea, go check her’s out. It was pretty genius!

I was planning on making a Pillow Box-but this was even better.

 B-I-N-G-O!

This would be PERFECT to put those Somoas in 😀 So I did.

 Here is a front view.

Since the cowgirl comes with a border, I just cut an even border around her, then colored it in. I had to distress the edges for that rustic look.

I LOVE Guava, and close to cocoa for this Cowgirl set! Its so pretty without being TOO girly. You know what mean-more rustic girly! LOL!

I loved how the tag is hanging like it was Lasso’ed.

Just untie the bow-and pop off the top! Now you can munch the cookies-without ruining the package.

Now for the card-

 Happy Trails to you-until we meet again

My dad ALWAYS sang that song to us, when he would leave. Too funny. It was the first thing I thought when I saw this sentiment. Maybe I should send this to him. I have not seen him in over 2 years! HMMM!

Enough on that.

I loved using the Guava textured card-stock on this one. The Star punch by SU! ROCKS!!!! Perfect size.

I wanted to continue the “dots” theme. SO I used Berry Bliss paper by SU! Its a perfect combo with this set.

My ribbon is by Martha Stewart, and was PERFECT!
