Hi! It’s Jamie, long time no see. We are just about through with yet another international move and it’s great to be crafting and scrapping again. Today, I have a project that goes back to my stamping days, the popular “sour cream” container. It took me awhile to figure out what was meant by this, but I was assured that in places other than California, people do get their sour cream in these cute, little containers.
To create the container, I use a quarter sheet of 8.5 x 11 inch paper, 4.25 x 5.5 inches. In Photoshop, I was able to clip out four different digital papers onto one page and print.
Once you have your quarter sheet, you need a thin strip of double stick tape. Place this on the short end of the paper, and connect the ends. It’ll look like a toilet paper roll.
You now need a smaller piece of tape to seal an end. Pinch close.
Fill with your treat or small gift and place a second piece of tape on the end, but in the opposite direction of the first.
To finish of the container, I like to crimp the ends. This helps hold the seal better and keep the container from opening unexpectedly.
Hope you enjoy this quick, little project.

Hi all! I’m Alix and I’m one of Genevieve’s newest creative team members! I am so excited to be part of her team and look forward to showing off her stuff in my layouts! Seeing as this is my first entry (and my third time writing it, lol, grr technology), we’ll keep it short and sweet, but I do have a fun challenge for you! I don’t know about you, but I have a really hard time with my journaling. I am always looking for fun new ways to add my story into my layout. Since it’s something I am currently working on I thought it would be a fun challenge for everyone.
Show me your creativity! You can use text on paths, a variety of fonts, fun embellishments, anything you want to show off your journaling in a unique and exciting way!
Here’s mine...I used paths to create my journaling in a fun swirl shape that I drew on my tablet and I used Genevieve’s Be Artsy Kit which complimented the bright colors in my photos perfectly!
Everyone who participates and leaves a link to thier layout in the comments section will get a fun little surprise from me!
