Sunshine Box by ohmypaper! ~ Friday, March 18th - 8 pm EST - MAR16VSND

Challenge Title: Sunshine Box
Hostess: Angie (ohmypaper!)
Keyword: MAR16VSND
Date: Friday, March 18th

Hello, everyone! Are you ready for some sunshine? Our winter has been very warm but the sun has been absent more than usual which makes this weekend's theme, even more, fun!

When I googled the word "sunshine", a Pinterest board popped up with "sunshine boxes". The idea is to fill a box full of sunshine-colored items and send it off to cheer up a friend.

My challenge is to create a card with an image or embellishment of something you could fit into a sunshine box. The sky is the limit on this so long as the image or item is YELLOW and could fit in a box!

Below is a photo of a sunshine box I gave to a friend, feel free to choose something from my box or come up with your own item, just make sure it's yellow!

I love all the sunny yellow I see in the gallery!!!

[smadson]

All your cards are great! Why am I so blank?

[ohmypaper!]

Sharon, maybe you are tired? Sometimes when I am tired, I can't think of a thing. Do you have any food images? Cookies, candybars?

[Covington Crafter]

I'm so ready for some sunny warm weather. We got a few peeks yesterday and today, but we've had a lot of rain. So here's my sunshine box for me MAR16VSND Sunshine Bound by Covington Crafter - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

yep, that is my problem! I will work on this tomorrow. It is a great challenge. I think I also have too many stamps to choose from.
I have yellow ribbon out, and yellow enamel dots, yellow flowers, just can't think what to do with them! LOL But I think you hit the nail on the heard. tired.

[ohmypaper!]

While you sleep you will think of something, Sharon! Happens to me all the time!

Carla, it's been so sunny and warm here. We are much warmer than normal this year. :( It's a bit much actually, especially knowing that 90's and high humidity are just around the corner. My in-laws are visiting and they went to FL during the week and are back now. They cut their trip short because mom was soooo hot down there. They will head back to MN this Sunday.

Enclosing my Get Well card. As it turns out my BFF is having some surgery tomorrow, so this will be for her along with a dinner for her family. Thanks for a great challenge, Angie. I am not finding the VSN gallery to attach my card there.

[Kelly H]

I used a set that I don't own, so it was extra fun to color with my Spectrum Noir markers.
