Woohoo!!! I was really chuffed to be asked to be a guest designer on the ABC Christmas Challenge. I feel very honoured as you know that the ladies over there are very talented. I love Christmas!! Today is the start of a brand new challenge and it's
'M' for 'Make a gift'
This fortnight's challenge is sponsored by Stamp and Create.
When I first saw this challenge I completely freaked out, and went into a total head spin, but eventually, once calm and after a bit of google searching, I came up with this!
I made the box by scoring and folding several pieces of card and sticking them together. I covered the box with paper from Craft Creations and then edged the sides with a Martha Stewart snowflake punch. The image is from 'The Snowman' set from Crafters Companion, and I've coloured him with my promarkers.
Hope you like it!
I'd like to enter the following challenges
Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge - Bingo (Ribbon, Snowflakes and Blue)
Make it Monday - Anything Goes
Chrimbo Crackers - Anything Goes
Thank you for taking the time to visit me today and for all your comments, I love reading them.
Good luck with this challenge, I can't wait to see all your Gifts.

Congratulations on becoming Guest Designer at ABC Christmas Challenge.
Love the idea of the chocolate box. If I made this I think I would have to sample some of the chocolates - to ensure they were OK of course!
