Today our house is full of super exciting news!! My husband is currently a 4th year medical student and, since he joined the Army, he'll be doing an Army residency. Which brings me to the exciting news-- today is military match day, which means he finds out where he'll be doing residency, and, more importantly for me, where we'll be moving! Needless to say, he matched into a general surgery residency and we couldn't be happier!
In order to celebrate the occasion, I made him this little box:
I started by making a cute 3x3x1 box out of some pretty turquoise paper. I then decorated the top of the box with Dewey Decimal paper by Lawn Fawn. I thought this was so perfect for a school related gift! At my local craft store, I found these cute doctor-themed embellishments, so I added the stethoscope and some Metzenbaum scissors to the top. So cute, right?
I used Smitty's ABCs for both the front and the inside sentiment:
I also added some little pill bottles that were in the embellishments package-- so fun! The sides of the box are decorated with the interlocking backdrops stamped in some pool ink. Inside the box is a surgeon's cap, so he can wear his alma mater with pride! Hooray!
Thanks for visiting today!!
