Some quick Christmas Gifts...

Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have - so spend it wisely. -Kay Lyons
Or...not so quick when you are a perfectionist like me!!! This square clear top tin seemed the Perfect gift box for an altered bracelet, and it turned out very nice...but I may have spent way too much time tweaking things that really did not need tweaking!

I used the snowflake paper from SU's Four Seasons Paper Pack, I lined the inside of the tin with a strip of the striped side and cover the bottom of the inside with the snowflake side.

I covered the clear top with a bit of the snowflake paper as well, No Peeking!

Then I wrapped a strip of each around the outside and added an embossed snowflake from Papertrey Ink's Snowflake Serenade. Had to cover that with Stardust Stickles. :)


I used Sticky Strip to attach the silver Grosgrain ribbon to the inside of the lid and tied a bow. The tag gives just a Hint of what is inside, I used one of the extra bubble stickers from the bracelet to highlight a punched out snowflake.

DON'T FORGET...TOMORROW (Dec 15th) IS THE LAST DAY OF THE 10% OFF GRAND OPENING CODE AT HOPE STAMPS ETERNAL!!!! Use code GRAND10 at checkout.
