Good morning fellow
WOYWW crew..
So I'm not quite sure what happened since last week but my desk is in a state of disarray!
Truth be told i've not had alot of christmas prep to do as we're off to Tonys parents, and then tony will be working boxing day, plus all the snow has limited movement, so i figured i'd maximize my time but trying to get a head start on next years cards lol
I've also been trying to play along with a challenge or 2..
This is my entry for this weeks
Simon Says Stamp'n'Show '
From Yesteryear' challenge
I did start out with the intention to make a tree decoration but once the rosette was made i thought it would look fab as a gift box lid, Trouble was i didn't have any blank round boxes, so what i decorated is actually a small tin food can and the plastic lid from an empty glass jar of barleycup!
I lined the tin with some tissue paper then filled it with more strips to keep whatever gift i put in it safe.
***
And finally here is my #day 22 Tag...
In contrast to Tim's day 10 tag, I've used an old sizzix snowman die i've had forever cut out of cardboard and placed him on top of the acetate packaging. And i added some little snowflake eyelets using my big bite.
He turned out kinda cute..
So can you believe there are only 3 more sleeps till christmas.. It will soon all be over and the new year plans will take over lol.. See ya again tomorrow for more tag fun x
I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas xxx

Gorgeous box - love how you have used that Rosette. Very vintage - and pastelly.
Like your take on Tims tag - hard to do them like he has with all the supplies you need - most of mine are improvised.
Merry Christmas.
Gorgeous! Crafty workdesk. Thanks for the peek and sharing.
Happy Holidays and creative crafting in the New Year.
Hugs, Marjo#5
Gorgeous box Minxy, you're right, that rosette is just perfect on there! Have a wonderful Christmas, and all the best for 2011
I like that box esp as you combined two things most people would throw away! Good job! Have a blessed Christmas! Patsy from

Love your gift box, so pretty and so much hard work. Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope the snow is not too much of a problem for your plans. My wonderful husband has just done the main shopping and brought that home, and is now off again to the butchers to collect the meat for Christmas, a day early, but it is snowing here again.
What a talented crafter you are!! Happy Christmas and a fab, crafty New Year - Jo
That gift box is fabulous! Love the rosette as a topper. Have a wonderful Christmas!!!

I dunno what Barleycup is - what am I missing?!! Makes a fab box half though - the rosette sure inspired you! I love the tag, particularly the emboss pattern on the acetate - great idea.
Beautiful box and I love the tags, can't believe you're still doing them? Are you going to stop in the New Year or carry on??
Have a wonderful White Christmas

Happy Christmas! Love the tags and I'm seriously coveting your distress ink collection lol. The box is lovely. I'm so happy I was able to get the rosette die. TFS!
The box is so beautiful! Fantastic idea to use the rosette as a top!
Your space still looks pretty organized, it just looks like a creative crafter is at work!
I had a look back at your tags and they are great too! I wish I had been organized enough to do those 12 Tags of Xmas.
Merry Xmas and have a very crafty New Year!

Just gorgeous. That little box is beautiful.
Merry Crismas!

That card is adorable. You did a great job using supplies you had on hand, and that recycled tin was simply ingenious as well as drop dead gorgeous.
I hope your Christmas was merry and filled with warmth, happiness, good health, and peace. Sounds corny, but it's my wish, anyway.
love your tin with the ruffle on top.
hope your christmas went smoothly.
builders dust all gone thankfully. thanks for popping by earlier
