Recently, while we were on vacation my father-in-law stopped by every morning and night to ensure our critters were fed and taken good care of. {We have 2 dogs and 2 fair show pigs so that’s why you’ll see these animals on the box below.} As a little token of appreciation we baked him up some yummy cookies. Once the cookies were baked.....I had to decide how to give them to him. Such fun decisions! ☺
I thought about many different ways we could dress them up .... like put them in a bag, on a plate or platter and then I came up with this idea of decorating a box and put the baked cookies inside. The cookies are a variety of Ready to Bake frozen cookie dough that I purchased from my son as a fundraiser through school. The athletic department was selling cookie dough to raise money for their athletic program.
Simple and easy -- definitely my way of baking cookies, just take them out of the freezer and put them on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 mins. :)
This project is more about how I decorated the box top (that I put the baked cookies in). The box is actually one from the frozen cookie dough. These cardboard boxes are sturdy and such a shame to waste. They already have the brown striped design on the sides so I played along with what was already there and just had to cover the top and front side with scrapbook paper.

Supplies to make top of box:
Since the edges of the box had these adorable brown stripes I just measured the scrapbook paper for the top and front side. I used the brown ink to ink around edges of box {this helps hide any missed spots or to distress the entire box blending all of the colors together.}
Here is a closer look….
Have a great day everyone!
