| Jelly belly original vs. Lori's gypsy version |
The other day my sweet husband came home with this box of Jelly Bellys. He was sitting in his chair slowly eating them and sharing them with the kids. I was so intrigued with the box that I forced him to dump out the jelly beans and hand over the box. I promptly took the box apart and confidently decided that I could make one with my gypsy. I started that night and got the basic design done. I took my gypsy with me to the Best Buy demo and decided to work on the box while I was demoing since I had only used the George and Basic shapes cart to design it. I had to modify a bit and nudge a little. It took me 11 tries but I finally got the box to work. I even got it to make the pfftt......sound the original box makes when you open it. I was trilled with that part the most.

I decided that I wanted something cute to give the girls I teach on Sunday, (they lovingly call me Sister Craftypants), and so I knew I needed to do something great. I made the jelly bean boxed and filled them with Mike and Ike candies. I ties a ribbon around them and attached a copy of a poem that is part of the lesson. I am super excited about this one and I hope all enjoy that get a jelly bean box tomorrow.
