Christmas Mini Pizza Boxes

I saw some mini pizza boxes on a craft blog all decorated for Halloween and set out to find them...they are sold by Stampin' Up and I don't order from them, so I had to find a rep so I could get these cute boxes for Christmas. 

I knew they'd be perfect for cash and gift card gifts. And they were just $6 for 8 boxes. Okay, I had to make the shipping worth it so I might have purchased a couple other items :)

The woman who made those Halloween pizza boxes had made a belly band for the box but I knew I didn't want to do that, I just wanted to decorate the top. So I broke out my Christmas papers, including the new Doodlebug goodies I had and went to work. I just put the lid down on the paper and marked it with a pencil to measure the size.

These first two are more vintage looking than the others and are made from my stash.

These are the cute boxes, made with a mix of Doodlebug Design stickers and papers. It's Sugar Plum and Milk and Cookies.

And here is my favorite, using the My Favorite Things Santa stamps I have loved for a couple of years but resisted buying. I finally got them and am so glad I did. He's seriously the cutest Santa I've ever seen!

And here they are opened, with the gift cards and mini pizza sugar cookies I added for fun. I used brown M&Ms, mini red and green M&Ms, green Mike and Ike's cut up and shaved white chocolate for the cheese.

These were super fun to make and didn't take long at all. I may just need to order some more. This time I could put an actual pizza in them.

Happy Wednesday!

Lately I've Been Counting Stars

I used my Star Stencil for my projects over at a2z Scrapbooking yesterday and all I can think of is the One Republic song, Counting Stars, even though I didn't actually count any of my stars.

Here's the video if you're singing the song now too and here's one of my projects I have up at the blog. You might want to check out today's post too, from Cornelia, cuz it's gold and fabulous!

Last thing for today—it's the Book Cover of the Week!

Haven't read it, but now I want to since it's so lovely!

Happy Monday!
