Gingerbread Milk Carton Treat Holder

Hello Everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Thank you for all your kind birthday messages you left me. I had a really fun time and was spoilt by my family and friends.

Today is challenge #4 over at Scraptastic Monday and we are to make something for Christmas and not use the colours red,green or gold. You don't have to use one of Cindy's adorable images to join in the fun but click here to check them out. They are really cute.

The image is Cindy's digi called Gingerbread Boy. I coloured with promarkers and white enamel accents for his icing. I hand cut the tag and used a MS  heart punch for the edge.

Last year I made lots of these milk cartons and filled them with chocolate to give to friends for their Christmas table. This one is filled with mini gingerbread  cookies. I did save a couple to scatter around when I took the photo,but somehow They found their way into my mouth before the photo call!!

Check out all of the talented ladies on the DT over at Scraptastic Monday and come and play.  Can't wait to see what you make.

Thanks for looking.

Hi,hope you had a great weekend. I have been really busy lately and MIA with my blog and visits but hope to catch up with you all this week.

Today is another Scraptastic Monday Challenge and we would love you to create a card or project using embossing,twine and your favourite colour. Your favourite colour has to be the dominant colour.

The image is Cindy's digi called Naughty or Nice. I coloured it using my distress inks.

Isn't he adorable? I made the box big enough with the idea that it could be filled with Thanksgiving goodies for anybody having to work or unable to be there for dinner. The great thing I am finding about digital images are that you can size them as big or small as you like.

Head over to Cindy's and see what delights the very creative DT have made to inspire you and come and join in the fun! Can't wait to see all of your fabulous creations.
