Happy Saturday Everyone!
If you just hopped over from the talented Zeni's blog at ScrappyZeni then you're on the right track. If you wish to start from the beginning you can do so by going to Erika's blog CricutLove. I'm so excited about this hop. A big THANK YOU to our hosts Erika and Zeni for putting this together. For my box I couldn't quite figure out what I was going to do. So I let my creative juices take over me and this is what I came up with. I know what you're thinking....It's not Christmas yet! Well it will be here before you know it.
 |
| For the lid I stamped the images and added stickles to it. I also used my MS border punch to go all around the box. You can't see it here but the paper is actually pearl. For the rest of the box, I added embellishments, tags, ribbon, fiber, and plenty of spaces to add photos. This can easily be given as a gift with a gift card inside. |
Your next stop is the talented Abby at ScrapbookAholic by Abby
Before you go.....
