Sorry I haven't been blogging much this week but I've been mega busy. Hopefully I should have a bit more time now. So sorry again but it is another Christmas item today.
The ladies over at Humbug Hall have challenged us to use my all time favourite crafty item.....................NOT!!!!. Blooming Acetate. I didn't think we would get this challenge again after the kerfuffle it caused last year. Well didn't want to make a card so I got my bag of bargains down from upstairs.
These are little bits I bought in the January sales which I thought would do for stocking fillers. The box that these were in was a bit battered and not very Christmassy so I took it to pieces and used it as a template to make a new box. I then used a nestie to cut an opening in the front (can't remember the proper crafty word at the mo, my brain has turned to mush) (Edit: Aperture, thank you Max) and backed it with a piece of acetate that I cut from the packaging of a new set of glittery christmas tree ornaments (again from the sales!!)
