I need a hostess gift and what better timing than for it to come now on the Verve August Project Parade. Julee has challenged anyone to make a hostess gift. I make homemade salsa and I thought a gift of a jar of salsa would be a delicious gift idea. I made the box 4 X 4 X 3. I stamped the paper and added sentiments all around. I kept the accompany thank you card simple, but in the same color and pattern scheme. It is only 4.25" squared.
I have more commentary as well as some salsa and chip tips at this blog post.
I just need to say that I am LOVING this color combo...so saffron, regal rose, and soft suede!!!
