Gift box

At the weekend I altered a little gift box to put a secret santa present in for my christmas meal at work this week. I have never done anything like this before and it was a bit out of my comfort zone, I see some fabulous projects on other peoples blogs when they do this but mine didn't quite turn out as good oh well. I have used my promarkers and some christmas papers from my stash as well as other embellies.

I am going to enter this for the roses on paper challenge which is to alter something and the promarkers challenge which is anything but a card with a christmas or new year theme.

magnolia vs stampavie challenge 21

Well I was very honoured yesterday I got chance to play in my sisters new craft room even before she did, how lucky was I. It is absolutely stunning and I am very jealous it means she never has to tidy away lol!
Anyway I managed to come up with this card which I adore it all came together at the last moment i am sure you know what i mean, I found some really nice flowery striped paper to go underneath the image but I have lost most of it because I have covered it never mind.
this is my entry for the magnolia vs stampavie challenge which is a gorgeous layout!

Easter

Used my retro punches to make the flowers made little scissors snips and put some small beads in the middle, coloured with promarkers.
