I wanted to make a small box for a child - this is about 4" x 4" square and 2.5" depth.
The instructions and template can be found at Stempeleinmaleins - Gift Box.
As I wanted it for a little boy I used the blue cardstock and Basic Grey's Out of Print papers.

The box opens up - not filled as yet, but is perfect for a small gift.

This little Having a Ball little mouse is just an ideal size for little tag.

Hi there everyone and welcome to our new challenge here at Basic Grey.  Firstly thank you for entering the Food & Drink challenge.

On to this fortnight's challenge and we have a great theme of 

Glitter & Sparkle

Just remember to use a Basic Grey product and let us know in your post what that is.  Oh, and don't forget that we are also now limiting the number of entries that you can make to three. 

As always, our wonderful sponsor, Simon Says Stamp is offering one lucky winner a fab $25 shopping spree in the Simon Says Superstore.

My card for this week features Magnolia's Edwin - I'll let you decide what on earth he is hiding among'st the Christmas Tree. I think he is either hiding because he's about to sneak a look at the presents - OR he's hoping to catch a Santa as he makes the deliveries!!!

This card is absolutely coloured with various sparkling mediums - sadly it doesn't show - IRL it is stunning!!!

I have listed the Materials and Tools list below.
