Gifts for Secret Pal!

Both grandaughters are doing Cross Country this year at their school.  One is in 6th grade(1st time for her) and the other is in 8th grade and she has been doing Cross Country for 3 yrs now. At the beginning they draw names for a secret pal.  Each Tuesday (day of meet) they bring a little candy and a bible verse of encouragement to the secret pal.  I helped Megan last year (1st time they did this) and we had a real good time  doing the packages together and choosing candy, so this year we have Makayla to do for too!  We find our Bible verses and then we decide on the candy and MawMaw comes up with the packaging.  The colors for the school are Navy and Gold.  That is the theme I went with in choosing the packaging.  I hope you are inspired by these pictures.  It only took  a little time.  The punched flowers were done with Stampin' Up punches, the Work of Art Stamp Set was used.  Let me know what you think.  Beth thanks for helping me find some of the right Bible verses.  It was a big help. The fry boxes were so easy to do and notice I punched holes in the top edge and tied bows in one and just pulled some ribbon in the other.  We did initials of the runners on bag toppers. You can use shapes for the Bible verses.  And you know it was no hardship to buy the candy cause we get to eat the leftovers! Yeah!  Hope this will inspire you when you have to make something like this for someone. Have fun!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stamping!  Johnnie
