Mom's birthday card and gift

Here is my Mom's "card". I love the package look!


Here it is with the top ajar


And here with the message or "gift" from the inside


This is called a "squash" book. I saw this somewhere and noted in my mind that I wanted to make this for my Mom. I couldn't remember where I had seen it and looked through my books and magazines several times. It was driving me crazy!!! So I turned to the web and did a search. I found several photos of books others had made and then finally found the instructions.


Here is the inside. I plan to make more of these as they are fun to make.
