Good morning and Happy Friday! As some of you know, I live in Southern California where earthquakes are known to happen frequently and at anytime. A few months ago we had a fairly big one -- big enough that I had several broken glasses on the floor and several other items. Well, yesterday around 5pm, another one hit and my girls and I went under the dining table right away. Our dog and cat even joined us under there. Three hours later, another one hit, which was bigger than the previous one. A few minutes later, another smaller one. Even now, I just felt a small aftershock (3:30 am). I'm really afraid of earthquakes because they are so unpredictable, but I also love my home here in California. Oh well.... On with the project...
This project was made for today's Hanna Stamps' Friday Challenge: Make Anything But a Card 3D. There is no time limit to this challenge, however, if you participate in challenges for the current month, all players will be entered in a drawing during the next release party to win a free set from Hanna Stamps!
Have you ever been to a social gathering and wished that there was a polite way to tell someone to have a mint -- if you know what I mean? Well, when I saw the medicine bottle image in the newly released Doctor Hanna set, I started thinking of all the fun projects I could attach this image to. One of them was this matchbook style TicTac holder/cover. It's a very simple cover to make, but what makes it special, of course, is the sentiment on the bottle, "Take 2 Before Stamping." Now, how perfect is that?
So, next time you have a stamp class or workshop, place a couple of these on the work table or make several to give as gifts to customers.
Stamp: Hospital Hanna (Hanna Stamps)
Paper: White, Pretty in Pink, Bravo Burgundy, Pattern Paper (SU!)
Ink: Pitch Black (Adirondack), Copic Markers
Acc: Scallop Border Punch, Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Felt Button (Sizzix Die), 1/8" White Satin Ribbon, Mint Container

Adela, I live in Northern Cali and we just had a pretty good size quake here a few weeks ag too. I went throught some ERT training and the worst thing you can ever do in a quake is duck and cover. They say never go underneath a table because it can crush you. Instead back up against it. You can google pyramid of LIfe and learn more, but I just wanted to share.
