fortune #337: jolly times are in your future.

I just happened to have a bag of coconut marshmallows in our pantry, and then I saw the moxie fab holiday food & treat wrap challenge pop up.  Game on.

snowballs are in your future

Obviously, a snowman jumping out of a chinese takeout box was the way to go.  ha.  I had just made a silhouette purchase for the box shape, and making frosty friends was lying on my desk... so, it wasn't so much a brilliant idea as it was lazy convenience *wink*

snowballs are in your future

Having the snowman jump out of the takeout box, all Betty Boop style, cracks me up.  I'm kind of hoping someone else giggles a little too... I can't be the only weirdo up in here.  I cut apart the flaps of the takeout box image, and glued them to the outsides, so that I could fit mr. frosty in there.

Don't you love the new Lawn Fawn papers?  The patterns are so sweet.

Using the silhouette software, I was able to create the custom sentiment to fit exactly inside the fortune frame.  I love how it curves and everything.

I put a little baggie of those marshmallows inside, but I also thought of fortune cookies, half dipped in chocolate and rolled in red or green sprinkles.  That would be a cute Christmas treat!

I hope you like it!

    So so so so so so cute!! Making Frosty Friends is my favourite Lawn Fawn set and I love this spin on using it - the snowman jumping out of the little box is genius and hilarious at the same time!
