from the birthday girl (well almost) about who gave the best wrapped/decorated present and she said me.

The task was to wrap Christmas Presents, in a manner that was better than ordinary, but I only had 3 days.

The challenge was on…
We brought all the gifts home and started on the task….

Can you spot the snowman box in the above photo….. These are made using
the curvy keepsake die and we have orders for over 200 of these in 5 different designs. I will be posting photos over the next few days of a new design of a cute little reindeer. If you would like one or more of the boxes,
they are still available. £1.50 each or 4 for £5. Just contact me or Leanne………

make two special cards (both had to be different) with a Christmas theme and
using poinsettias…. The lady was over
the moon with the finished cards, and came complete with matching gift
boxes to hold them.
