P for party

Another new challenge over at the Alphabet challengeblog, and I've decided to give you a non-card inspiration this time. We're having a "party" theme because it's our 10-year anniversary, and since I'm bringing the cookies, I wanted to present them in a proper way. 
I took a cardboard box from my stash to wrap it with a scrapbook paper. I'm not sure what was in the box originally, I think it was some cereal or pancake mix. As it was now meant to hide a sweet treasure, I wanted to make the cover look somehow delcious, too. 
I went for a cookie & cake scrapbook paper, however, I soon realized that it would be just a little too short to cover the whole circumference of the container. To prevent an awkward gap of original packaging mixing with the new looks, I cut a strip of brown paper and placed it where the scrapbook ends wouldn't meet. 
It may not show well on the photos, but parts of some sweets are covered in shimmering glitter decorations, and once you open up the lid... 
... you'll find my favourite cookies from the zero waste shop! (There's a little tear in the cardboard where the aluminum foil used to be, but it's not visible when the box is full. However, as these are my favourites, it wasn't full anymore for the photo shooting, and I didn't manage to get to the store to stock up.)
With no more to say about my project, I'd just like to invite you once again to play along with us this fortnight. Show us your party projects and treat yourself with a cookie or two.

challenges: 
as you like it: his or her birthday (I somehow prefer "her" birthday as I find them easier to create - I won't hide from male projects either, but I need to think more about the recipient there and stop myself from adding too much colours/glitter/embellishments, while in girly bithday projects I can really set my fantasy free and do whatever comes to mind)

  2. A great way to re-use things, especially packaging. This is inviting and I'm sure will have to be re-stocked frequently - it would with me, anyway! xx
