Christmas Boxes ! Hi everyone... well, I have been working on these cute Christmas boxes off and on for a couple of weeks now & they are finally finished ! I made one for me and one for my friend Pat.. she made me a beautiful knitted shawl ( it's cold enough for me to wear it now! Woo Hoo ! ) so I wanted to do something for her. These turned out very pretty, lot's of big chunky glitter,a little silver sparkle and a big crystal on the front.. I painted the boxes white and added some Basic Grey paper..

I used my silver metallic pen to add some accents and a strip of metal I found in my stash..

The flower is made out of crepe paper & of course I added some ribbon, beads & snowflakes..

Just enough bling... not too much !! I also added some ball feet to make it a little taller. ( wish I could do that to myself :) Enjoy the rest of your day and see you tomorrow..Jen

Monday, Monday !!!!

Hope everyone had a good weekend..

We looked at houses... man there are a lot

of REO's and short sales out there.. We didn't

look at one house that had furniture in it !! And

most of them were a mess .. real fixer uppers :(

I did get to Michael's and found a wood frame, I

had no idea what I was going to do with it... but

this is what it looks like now...

I painted it and stamped around the outside

and inner frame..

The saying is " Happiness walks on busy feet"

I cut out flowers on the Cricut & added a "J" with a

little fairy on top in the center instead of a picture..

Then added some buttons and twine..this was a lot

of fun to make, I might have to do a few of these

for gifts :)

Well have a good day.. I'm off to do my

Mojo Monday card.... See you tomorrow... Jen
