@Megan A – I bought the paper at a local scrapbook store. The glitter was already on the paper, I just added buttons, ribbons and rhinestones to a few of them. I have found out that it is an older piece of paper, so here are a few other options of newer paper.

I love this idea! Yours came out so pretty! Did you order your scapbook paper through the making memories website or in a store? Also did you put glitter on each of the numbers yourself? It is gorgeous!

Very cute idea! Thanks for sharing!

I made one last year out of scrapbook paper/embellishments glued onto little treat-storing cardboard drawers made for that purpose, but this is more economical and very fun.
