Anyone for turkey casserole?

Did you have a lovely Christmas?  I hope so! However, I have a feeling we'll be eating turkey in one form or another at least once a week until next Christmas!  The mince pies have gone, the cake has a good wedge taken out of it (and very boozy it was too) and we used up the last of the bread sauce and cranberry sauce last night.  How we still have so much turkey left, I'll never know, but I'll be on the Good Food website later to check out the various ways we can keep eating the same thing without anyone noticing!

Having been a very bad blogger in the run-up to Christmas, I thought I'd better try to make up for it while I'm on holiday.  This is the box I made for Mum and Dad's Christmas card:

I used papers from the Maja Design Christmas pad (from Live and Love Crafts) and matched these with some gorgeous ribbon from the Ribbon Girl.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I stamped an older Tilda and coloured her with Distress Markers, adding some Glamour Dust to her halo and wings.  The banner is a hAnglar and StAnglar stamp and the sentiment is by Magnolia.

I put more of the gorgeous ribbon around the edge of the box.

The star pin and pearl stems are from my stash.

I'd like to enter this project into the following challenges:

Simply Magnolia - Gift Box
Deep Ocean - Santa is coming to town
Live and Love Crafts - Anything but a card

I'll be back to show you the card which went inside the box over the next couple of days.  In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your Christmas holiday!

Hugs
