Catch of My Life

I'm always looking for something to make for Chris. Men are so much harder to make things for. In my last box of goodies I received from Creative Cuts & More I received this cute Creel Box.

I used mostly Cosmo Cricket (My fave scrapbook company) papers. The fishing pole is from a scrap I've been holding onto. CC&M (Creative Cuts & More) have so many fun boxes and bag die cuts to choose from. You can order them in velvet, metallic, bling, acetate, textured and smooth cardstock! They come un-folded. I use Killer Red Tacky Tape to tape the box together. If you haven't used Killer Red Tacky Tape, give it a try, it is fantastic!

I hand wrote "You are the catch of my life" on it and filled it with Sweedish Fish (one of his favorite candies) and the kids and I delivered it to him at work.
