Care Package #13: The Gamer Box

Although Dick has not told me he got this box, He's REALLY bad about that, I was talking to his friend today about them needing stuff, and he mentioned something that was in this box. And since this was the ONLY time I've sent that, I know he's received this. So here is another box I absolutely LOVED making!

THE GAMER BOX!!!

Dick bought a TV and Xbox 360 for while they were over there. He wanted another game and 2 controllers so of course all I thought was THEME THEME THEME!!! I searched high and low for ideas on this box and didn't find anything. So I started googling xbox pictures. And I came across some funny achievements (like left the house). That inspired the decor for this box. I found a blank achievement template (don't remember where... OOPS) and used ribbet.com for the editing. The font I used was Arial Narrow. I couldn't find a free download of the font Microsoft uses so I figured it was close enough.

In this box I included:

• 2 Wired Xbox 360 controllers
• 2 Xbox 360 games: MLB 2012 and Forza (the newer one whatever that is)
• MIO
• Beef Jerky
• The JackLinks Jack Pack that have the cheese, pretzels and slim jim things. That's how I knew he'd gotten this box.
• Homemade cookies
• Silly sting
• Butterfinger Pretzels
• Combos
• A hilarious card I found at Target. 

Pretty much I thought, if he's gonna be sittin around all day playing video games what kind of stuff would he want? BUT right around the time he got this box (either shortly before or after, not sure) he broke his xbox power cord. SO I don't even know if he's gotten to play these. But I got him a new power cord out this week. Had to go to 4 different stores to find it. That boy better know I love him!

And here's the box:

And here is the template I used to make the achievements. I just printed them out on white card stock, cut them out and glued them to the green card stock.
