Say it With....

It's challenge time at AnnaBelle Stamps... Christmas boxes! Well I cheated a little. I have a granddaughter whose birthday is 2 days after Christmas. She always gets her BD gifts with Christmas wrapping.... so I've made a box for her birthday!  She is a girly girl! I recycled a box I got soap in.
I knew when I bought this soap I would be recycling this box! I don't know if you can see it but it's embossed!
This was pretty simple to revamp! I used a sentiment from Squared Poises 
and framed it with spellbinders. 


I added a few flowers, pearls and bow...... ALL girl! Be sure and check out what the rest of the DT has come up with...

Say it With....


Good Afternoon!
It's time for another fun filled challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps! I have 2 projects to share with you today! The 1st is a simple little item for my daughter. She LOVES to decorate everything and this will hang in her car!

This was hard to get a picture of! I finally hung it up on my cork board (0=  To create this I used MME holly jolly dp and Ornamental Christmas. I also used sultana sprinkles and natural twisted paper cord! It really is cute IRL!

This is a little mini album {I've wanted to make one of these for a very long time} made into a calender. Super simple and I will be making many more ! You can see the tutorial here. I used cheerful treat dp and daisy delight to decorate this little jewel. You can find free printable calenders here.
Be sure and check out the rest of the DT to see their beautiful creations!
