HAPPY PTI BLOG HOP DAY!!! Oh how I LOVE that day each month!! Even if I cant play along I can LOOK the inspiration is ALWAYS off the hook!! :)

Well this month I did get to play along! I LOVED this months challenge-

WRAPPING IT UP!!!

My FAVORITE thing to do.. wrap up gifts all pretty! Every year I say I am gonna do that more often.. and every year I DO NOT! NOT this year!! Looky 2 made already and it is only Sept! (now dont come ask me how many I have done come Dec. lets just be HAPPY with now I am AHEAD of the holiday game! ;)  

 My first goodie is done using one of the tins from PTI added some felt I cut, and die cut! Topped it with a BIG snowflake that is 9 layers counting the bling snowflake!! I like when I die cut my dies to use wax paper between them (a trick from the forum I saw) well I use it even for my large ones and this time I USED that part in my big snowflake.. I like how it looks.. gonna be saving more wax paper cut outs now!!!

Next up I made up this CUTE little box.. Found the idea from Pinterest! HERE is the box.. BUT HERE are the directions to make it! It was EASY PEASY!! I plan to make a few more!! NOT 100% sure on that little holly on the tag.. you cant really tell in the photo it is there, and the color is different.. hmmm may change that!

ANYWAY!! I made the box, covered it in some fabric I got.. added ribbon, lace, bow, bling and a tag!! All ready to fill!

 THANK YOU SO MUCH for stopping by today!!! If you want to see some FABULOUS stuff.. head over to Nicoles blog for ALL the blog hop links! I plan to IGNORE my cleaning for a bit.. and HOP HOP HOP!!!!
