ABC Christmas Challenge - P is for...

I'm back with another ABC Christmas Challenge today...this time Samantha is our host, and she has chosen a fabulous theme of:

'P is for Presents, Packaging & Photo Inspiration'
Phew...what a mouthful! Basically, we'd like you to create either a present and/or some kind of packaging (gift bag, box, tag etc) inspired by this photo collage:


We have two fabulous sponsors for this challenge:

Simon Says Stamp are offering one lucky entrant a $15 voucher to spend in their store:


Photobucket

AND:

Stamp Fairy are offering one lucky entrant 3 digis (of their choice) from their store.


Ok, so on to my projects...I went a bit over the top this week...so there are a lot of photos!
First of all, here's a photo of everything together:

 

Here's a close-up of the little box:


And the present inside:


Yes, it's another of those wrap bracelets...this time in a multicolour assortment of gemstones:


The gift tag:


And finally, I couldn't resist making a matching card:


Products used:
Hero Arts stamps set - 'Graphic Lines Trees'
Cuttlebug 'Snowflakes' folder
Sentiment - 'Bubble Tree' set by Woodware
Luggage label - WHSmith
Bazzill 'Kraft' card
Papermania 'Recycled' card blank

I'm also entering these items into the following challenges:
For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, as well as some of the Stamp Fairy girls, please visit the ABC Christmas Challenge.

    These are lovely! I need to start getting into these challenge blogs that you seem to do so many of, it would certainly help to start on the Christmas cards sooner than November! Maybe next year... Looks like a great wee set though. x
