Good Morning All
The gifts I made for my Craft Club ladies on Friday were these Soap boxes.
This idea came to me when I was doing the shopping in Mercadona.
I saw these lovely soaps in 3 different fragrances, and thought they would make lovely gifts, so I bought some.
They are wrapped in beautiful papers too.
They are wrapped in beautiful papers too.
I thought I would make large matchbox style boxes.
One of my ladies, Eve, had given me some corrugated card in various colours, perfect for this style of box.
I just went to town on decorating with lots of my homemade embellishments.
I used pretty pearl brads for the handles and various papers from my stash to decorate ends of the base boxes.

Here is the sketch for this week if anyone wants to play along.
Email me a pic or comment on Facebook Here.
I draw a name on Friday 9th at 1pm.
Twist it, turn it,interpret as you wish, just keep the general lay out.
As I announced the other day, I have been accepted onto Crafty Ribbons DT but just before I applied, I won over on their challenge and received a voucher to spend on their website HERE
This card is using a pack of ribbons they offer, offcuts for 1gbp (I dont have a pound sign on my laptop) HERE.
So I used some of them on this card.
They are strips of between 3" and 6" perfect for this card.

Very nicely perfumed they are too Wendy. Ive put the soap in my undies drawer for the time being.
Great sketch this week. Will be making mine later.
Cute ribbons and I'm impressed with you making a Christmas card.

Lovely gift boxes and a super card :-)
Congratulations on the DT. Those bits of ribbon have been made into a great card! Love your soap boxes too, the soaps themselves look great without the added beautiful box. Well decorated too !! Janice x http://createdbyjan.blogspot.com
What a lovely idea for Christmas gifts Wendy. I love soaps at anytime of the year and now have quite a collection. Your card is so striking in both the colour combo and the sketch. Stunning. Hope you're well. Hugs Rita xxxx
