A Gift Box

This was giving me all the trouble last week, at Everybody Art challenge we could use these cute digi images from Meljens designs and although we didn't have to use them I had an idea of how I wanted to. The challenge this week is to make a gift, I made a gift box and seeing while I was away my DD has been baking cookies my box would be ideal for putting some of them in for a gift.
The box was made with strong card and covered with some left over crate paper.
The scallop was cut on the Cricut using the Storybook cartridge and then I cut and layered the cute puppy.
We also had a cute digi of large flower and bubble bees so I printed out several so I could layer the flower and the bumble bee on the top.


Here's a close up of the flowers and I see I need to bit extra glue on that corner.
Of course you don't have to use Meljens designs and I look forward to seeing some fabulous gifts.
I did manage to get to one craft shop and I can't believe I brought boring essential stuff.

I was just looking for this info for a while. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this type of informative sites in top of the list. Generally the top sites are full of garbage.
