Today I made a start on this years Christmas packaging for my grandkids. One of the elders of the tribe decided she would like money instead of gifts the year she turned 10 (she wasn't being grabby or rude - I couldn't think of anything to get her, so I asked what she'd like).

So that has now become the tradition with all my grandies - when they turn 10, they get cash for birthday and Christmas. They love having spending money, and it solves a problem for me.

Each year I make a different 'container' for them, so here is this years model. It has 5 sections and I designed it to exactly fit the rolled up notes.Of course, it will be full when they get it, I just left 2 sections empty to show the construction. They were so easy to make once I had the measurement worked out.

Another Kaszazz TTD (new product training session for consultants) has come and gone, and we have some gorgeous new release products and a brand new catalogue. I always do my own design, rather than the one chosen by Kaszazz, mostly because their designs are way to elaborate for this very "CaS" (clean and simple) scrapper.

So here is my take on it, and even this version is a bit OTT for me, with all that fussy cutting, but I'm happy with the result. The photo was taken before I stuck everything down - all the edges have been inked now.
