Hi everyone, hope you had a good weekend. We had friends round on Saturday evening and ended up all watching the X Factor final much to my husbands disgust – he hates any reality tv shows
Thank goodness Christopher Maloney didn’t win, he certainly didn’t have the X Factor for me and I saw this amusing picture on Facebook the other day
Enough X Factor, I have this little box to show you today that I made using some gorgeous goodies from The Ribbon Girl
Jess bought a watch for herself and I used the box that it came in. It’s a bit of a joke in our house …nobody dare throw anything away in case Mum needs it for her crafting!!
I covered it with paper from the Lili of the Valley promises pad and then trimmed around the sides with flat scalloped lace and lilac mermaid sparkle ribbon
On the top I made a double bow out of the same flat lace and then a flower arrangement with a gorgeous lilac trellis rose and some cosmos daisies
The rosebuds and stem pearls are from my stash
I wasn’t sure how I was going to add a sentiment but these little tags from Lili of the Valley were just perfect!
I finished it off with some pearls stuck in each corner.
Hope you like it, have a lovely day
WOW I love the gift box the design and colours are gorgeous. Caroline xxx
