Box Full of Treats for Funday Friday Challenge

Hello :) How is your Christmas list coming along? Mine, well lets say the cards are mailed and there is how many days left till Christmas?!! Oh my! yes I'm a bit behind but I'm staying in good spirits what happens, happens and I have no control over it. Being back to work this month was a blessing and with that I'm happy no matter what happens :) Yes we are indeed hosting the Christmas Eve dinner this year so just a little prayer that I may get the day before Christmas Eve off of work to get the house cleaned up for company other than that we should be good on everything else falling into place even if we are still wrapping some gifts after Christmas :) for the ones we see after Christmas :) But I did get to do some Christmas crafting over the past couple of weeks when I can squeeze the time in :)
So this is the last Funday Friday Challenge for the year and we will resume the challenges on January 8, 2016. We have had some fantastic sponsors this year, thank you :) It's also been fun to see your creations for the challenges :)  This week's Challenge over at Jo's Scrap Shack is:

"Christmas Treats"

Create a card, layout or project with

this week's theme!

I created a fun little box to hold some Christmas goodies:

Our sponsor this week is Little Blue Buttons Stamps: I made this box and decorated the front with LBBS digi art files: Christmas Journaling tags

You can beat getting these art files this year for any style Christmas crafting you got going on:

 

These are perfect for some many different things: Dec. Daily, Christmas tags, Christmas cards just to name a couple of uses. I used the one with the wreath for my project:

 I used a 2" circle punch to punch out the wreath and popped it on the project with foam tape.

 I created the box from watching this youtube video: 12 Days of Christmas 2013 Day 2 - YouTube

A fun little gifty to add to the grandkids gifts :) 

Thanks for stopping by today and seeing what I got going on in my little corner of the world :) I've got to go and get some more crossed off my list to do, but will be back sometime this weekend with one more post before Christmas takes over my life for a week atleast :)

October Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and Good Morning. Today is the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog October blog hop and you should have come to my blog from Lisa's blog :) So excited to go and see what Lisa has done, but I'm excited to go and see what all the members have done. So if you are just now joining the hop you may want to go to Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog to start at the beginning of the hop. The challenges this month are:
Challenge #1: YOUR NEXT MOVE: Do a project sharing what your next move in life is.  What is a goal?  What is a dream?  What would you like to do if you could? Challenge #2: 3-D Project.  Let's all get out of our comfort zones.  No cards, layouts or mini albums.  
Challenge #3: One Thing: You may use paper, photos and only ONE other thing on your project (like mist or stamping or one type of embellishment).
I already did Challenge #1 so I thought I would tackle Challenge #2, especially since I found this fun box in a kit package to be put together and decorated. I will have to get out to Michaels and see about getting more and making one for each of the grandkids for Halloween this year. 
After putting the box together, then it was a matter of cutting the paper to size and apply it to the box:

 I used my current kit of cardstock and some scraps of pattern paper that I used earlier in the month on anther project to cover the box.

 I used washi tape to enclose all the sides of the box and some on the lid. 

 I then decorated the box with cut outs, dazzles and stickers.

A very fun project and something that I think may just carry onto Christmas for some special gift giving :) 
Thanks for stopping by today and now your off to see what the fascinating Julene has for you she always fascinates me with what she makes :) 
The blog hop order just incase you get lost :)
