Merry Christmas!

Hi everyone! I can't believe it's Christmas this week already! This year has flown by!
I've been wanting to try making this box for a long time now, but once again I was
intimidated because it looked hard. So I kept putting it off! I finally got brave enough
last night and made one out of scrap paper, and you wouldn't believe how easy it was!
I was really surprised. And happy, because it's a really cute box. I found the tutorial at
Splitcoast Stampers.








I love how it turned out. I used a Magnolia image, Kraft paper for the box, Bazzill cs,  Graphic 45 and Melissa Frances dp, Spellbinders to cut the circles, a Magnolia Doohickey doily diecut,  twine, snowflakes cut with a MS punch, star shaped rhinestones, and punched holly leaves. I made a small box to hold matches and decorated it with the same dp, and added a quilled snowflake.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
Top Tip Tuesday- anything Christmas
Wags n'Whiskers- fancy folds
Simply Magnolia- Christmas
Bearly Mine- anything goes
Simon Says Stamp- Bingo- twine, punches, multifold
Crafts and Me- anything goes
Bling It On- Christmas
Papertake Weekly- Christmas
Creative Inspirations- anything goes

Thank you for visiting! And I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! Remember,
Jesus, the greatest gift of all, is the reason we celebrate!
Blessings, Karen

    WOWZERS...this is superbly beautiful. :D
    I saw a couple of these before and my initial thought was, "No way can I do this!" But after reading your encouraging post, I think I might just give it a shot.
    You've decorated this just beautifully and I love the embellishments that wrap around to the other sides. Nicely done. :)
    Merry Christmas to you too and thank you SO much for sharing your talent with us at Top Tip Tuesday!
