Birthday Week Envelope

This last week we headed up to a lake house in northern Minnesota. When we weren't swimming or boating,  us ladies were mad-crafting (definition: crafting that causes a mad mess, the kind of mess that shocks the husband when he gets back from golfing). One of my favorites was this darling birthday week envelope. The idea is to fill an accordion like envelope package with different small gifts for a special someone's birthday week. My amazing mother-in-law brought all the darling supplies all the way from UT.

Supplies:
7 envelopes
adhesive of your choice
scrapbook paper
embellishments (ribbon, buttons, etc)
mini-gifts to stuff the envelopes

Step 1: Attach the envelopes together by by gluing the envelope tops to the back of another envelope. Continue gluing all 7 envelopes together

Step 2: Line the envelopes with paper of your choice  

Step 3: The fun part: DeCoRaTe!  I made two so here are a few pics so you can get an idea of what I did. I wish I would've taken picture's of my sis-in-laws and mom-in-laws envelopes. They were totally darling and blew mine out of the water! 

Step 4: Fill 'em up! We filled ours with cutesie hand wipes, ghiradelli chocolate squares, see's peanut brittle, altoids, a mini notepad &  gift cards

 Step 5: Fold it up and give it to the birthday boy or girl!
