Sparkles Christmas Challenges Birthday Bloghop

Hi everyone,
I hope you're all well. We're having a bloghop to celebrate our 3rd anniversary 
at Sparkles Christmas Challenges. To join in the hop you should have come to
me from Mary. If not, please start from the beginning here.

Our theme this month is 'Anything Goes' as long as it's Christmas.
I've altered a plain white box into a gift box...
The flower die is by Crafts Too. This has been placed on a green doily cut using a Nellies die.
This has then been mounted on a Spellbinder Adorning Square. I've also added an adorning square to the base of the box. I've added 2 different red ribbons around the sides, finishing with a thin green ribbon.


Now it's your turn. To participate in the hop you need to visit all of the fabulous DT creations and leave a comment or add yourself to their linky. You also need to enter a project into the challenge. We've got some awesome prizes up for grabs from our sponsors (including Joanna Sheen, Crafty Ribbons, Di's Digis, Marianne Design, Pink Gem Designs, FR and Dawn to Dusk). There are more goodies along the way from the DT but remember to have a chance of winning you must comment on all the DT posts and enter the challenge.

I'm giving away a Me to You Winter Wonderland 8x8" Creative papercraft kit...

Don't forget to leave me a comment. You've got until February 25th to enter.


Thanks for visiting. Next you need to visit Helen N.

Hugs Helen P xx

  8. Wow, this is awesome. I can just imagine filling this little box with packages of rhinestones, pearls and pretty little things for someone who loves to make cards like we all do. Someone like that would treasure this box more than the contents!!! This is absolutely beautiful and well done. Thanks for the chance to win one of these fabulous prizes! Hugs, Gail

  18. This is beautiful! And such a great idea to alter a plain gift box. That saves the effort of having to create your own, and it's much sturdier too. And a great way to make a gift a bit extra special. I off to continue the hop. It's been so much fun!
