Wedding Party Favor Boxes

I made 100 of these bad boys for my super cute new sister-in-law Elizabeth and my handsome bro Kenny for their wedding party.

They got married in Hawaii (jealous!!!) so we threw them a wedding party before they left.
Here's the couple newly married! Love them!!!

Here's how the favor boxes started:

100 pieces of "Far East" scrap-booking paper! I guess it's important to mention they had a Japanese themed party.

I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 cartridge to cut out the boxes (I had 10 Cricut mats going!):

I used the Pagoda cartridge to cut out the Kanji in black Vinyl; the Kanji means "love" in Japanese, then I added my "Made By Candice" stamp.

Here's the wording I printed out on transparent paper then used the Baby Steps cartridge to cut out the shape:

I used the Create A Sticker machine on the wording to attach it to the boxes; I went through a lot of those!

I did the same for the "thank you" tags but used the Pagoda cartridge for the tag shape:

On one side it says "thank you" in English and on the other in Japanese:

Here they are! 100 favor boxes!

This was by far the most I've ever made of one thing; it was a lot of work but I had a good time and Kenny & Elizabeth are worth it!

Special thanks to my lovely sister-in-law Camille for helping me stuff them with Japanese candy & adding the "thank you" tags!

Happy Birthday Kenny!!!

Today is my little brother's birthday! So Kenny...Happy Birthday to you! Party hardy out there in Japan. :) Welcome to getting old!

Today is also my boss' birthday so I decided to wake up early and go buy muffins and some balloons. I get to the Fred-Smiths at 6:45am to find out that they don't open till 7:00am, lame! I get the balloons and get them all the way to the office, put them on the boss' chair only to have one pop and give me a freaking heart attack. It sounded like a gun shot!

On a geekier note, I have signed up on Xfire, which is a geek website that shows how truly geeky you are. Also, it shows how much I play WoW, which probably isn't good.

According to my mother this mysterious
'cyanbc' that has been commenting on some of my posts is none other than my little brother Kenny! If this is true than, awesome! :) For those of you who do not know my brother is currently residing in Japan for school. My mom was lucky enough to go visit him recently for two weeks, which I was totally jealous of. Bryan and I couldn't go because we had just bought a house and a trip to Japan is expensive! When my mom returned she had a plethora of photos but this one of my brother was one of my favorites. Apparently he won all those various toys from some ball-type game that is their version of gambling or something like that. Maybe if my brother reads this post he can let us know how he won all this booty. :)
