Wish and a Christmas Gift Box - Scrapmatts DT December

Welcome back today, it's lovely to have you come and visit.

Both items are showcasing Scrapmatts products;

they are very versatile and add wonderful texture and embellishment for any project.

A bit about the papers I've used.

The denim border is an oldie from Simple Stories.

The turquoise background is from Crate Paper.

The triangles paper is a new release from Cocoa Vanilla, "Endless Summer"

I like the way they all played nicely together!

The layout was inspired by a sketch from mascarinashirley.blogspot.ca

I chose the chipboard  Triangles to complement the triangle paper.

I coloured them with Heidi Swapp Color Shine, "Coral" and some Ranger UTEE, "Gold"

I scattered some other words around - CB 1189 Scrap Words 01

In keeping with the triangle theme I used Alphabet flags as the title.

I have some journalling on the back of the page.  It reads:-

You two little scamps came with your big brother for a sleep over in the school holidays.

It's about the only time I can nab you together and get a couple of photos.

Out of the dozens I took there was not one with both of you looking good.

You love to joke around, flick your hands in the air, wrestle each other to the ground, 
poke your tongues out, close your eyes, screw your noses up
 and make and all sorts of crazy faces.

  So this photo is a composite of two images - the best of a terribly bad lot!

Because we are in the count down to Christmas I created a gift box 

with a mixture of papers and of course lots of Scrapmatts yummies.

Why I chose December to experiment with making a video is beyond my comprehension, 
but I wanted to show you the mechanism of the box.   Bad idea!   It's taken me days and I'm not sure it's something I would care to do again, but here it is, 
with my long suffering husband's help. Ta Dah!!!

It has lots of flaws, but in the spirit of Christmas, 
I know you will be tolerant of my first effort.

Thanks for calling in and for any comments you care to leave,  I love reading them.
