This is what I made using graphic45's Nutcracker Sweet collection and flowers from Petaloo: (I really like that nutcracker, and Petaloo flowers make great Christmas tree decorations!)
It's a little altered box for storing candy for Christmas made from this:
Someone gave this present to hubby and he said "looks like the kind of box you could use" - ah...so clever Baboo, you are catching on to this scrapping thing eh? heh!
Anyways, I covered it with papers on the inside and outside like this:
Christmas is coming....! Hope you get lots of fun Christmas ideas while hopping!
