It's Bearly Mine time again!

Such wonderful day and such smashing start of the day with a new challenge over at Bearly Mine Challenges. A little harder challenge for you this time. Our theme is Anything but a card! How is that for a challenge? There is alot of things that can be done for this challenge. How about a Christmas decoration, or for halloween? Alter a box, a candle etc. You know what I mean, there is nothing you can't do, well no a card then. :)

I chose to decorate a gift box for this challenge. I bought a set of three at Panduro quite a long time ago and this challenge made me start taking care of them. I used designer papers from Christmas Glee and resized them to a fitting size. That is the perfect thing with digital elements, you can get almost any size you want. Love that! My box is really tiny, only about 7,5 cm sides. I made a very simple decoration on top of the lid. I used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and a stamp from Magnolia. It kind of wishes happy X-mas. I also added some lace to the lid to make it a little more decorated. Tons of fun, now I just have to work on the other two. Have not decided who will get the box or what I will put in it yet. Maybe a neckless, or some delish chocolate. Have some time to deside still. :)
