I hope your weekend went well.
Can't believe December is just around the corner...yikes!
Do you have all your cards made yet?
Thanks again Gloria for having me
...you have inspired me to think outside my comfort zone
and what fun I've had.

The theme this week is
Challenge #20 Box it
Up!
Your challenge is to create some sort of altered box.
You can create a box from scratch, or you can alter a pre-made box.
Your box can be made of paper, wood, chipboard, plastic or metal.
As long as you dig into your hoard to decorate a box,
you have met the challenge requirements!
The box does not have to be used as a box...
it can be used as home decor
or for any purpose you can image.
Let's box it up! Use those stamps, dies, and punches.
Show us the layers!

For my make I created a box to hold one of my special
(lumpy) Christmas cards.
Box measures 6x6x1 inches.

Box measures 6x6x1 inches.
Once I had my score lines on the top I folded in the sides
so I could cut out the center on my Grand Calibur, using SB Labels
Thirty-four then added an acetate layer to create a window.
SB Decorative Labels Thirty-four used for the green layer.
I dusted off my Spellbinders Mystic embossing folder
to create the top layer. The tree was cut out of gold paper
(yes I've been hoarding that) using Dee's Distinctively
Snow Covered Tree die. Rhinestones are Recollections.
Gold ribbon, the berry spray and plaid ribbon on the top
and around the sides are all from my hoarded stash.
