Christmas Gift Box

I finally had some time early in the morning to put together this beautiful kit. It's a Christmas box and there was quite a bit of work involved. I just didn't like applying the glitter. After I was done assembling the box, I was supposed to use a spray adhesive to add the glitter to the box. I sprinkled a bit more than I should and now I still have bits of glitter on my arms. I do love the look of it all finished. I might just place some small items inside it to give for Christmas.
Check out my stamping blog for the matching card.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
We don't really do anything for St. Patrick's Day in our household but I do have our kids wear something green because kids these days don't just give you a little pinch, they actually pinch hard and our 14 yr. old says at her high school they punch your shoulder, OUCH! Talk about rough so I have them put something on that's green. I recycled an old headband for our 12 yr. old by covering it with new fabric. Our friend and his girls have been staying with us and didn't have anything green so she asked for the top headband. On the second headband, I took one of our old ones and recovered it with  3/8" green polka dotted ribbon. I just put a dab of hot glue at the ends to hold it in place. Makes it look like new again.
Have a SUPER day!
