And..I think I figured out the challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers where Marcy is the host.  If I'm right, it's to make a tag!  LOL..if not, I had fun making the tag anway :)
I used my Accucut Shadowbox Die and cut out the center panels.  Sewed the two sides together to make a tag.  I kept the top open so a gift card could easily be tucked inside.  Paper is Authentique and the sweet image is Crafty Secrets.  Baker's Twine is Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Supplies:
Perma Tac, Glue Gun and Melt Sticks (Glue Arts), Paper, diecuts, stickers (Authentique), Chipboard (Heidi Swapp), Metal tag (Tim Holtz), ribbon, spider and ghosts (making memories), Orchid and Black paint (Plaid), Copper Embossing powder (Ranger), Clear Stamps (Crafty Secrets), wooden box with a hinged door (Hobby Lobby) Tiger Lily Glimmer Mist (Tattered Angels)
