Hi Everyone, I hope you're all finished with your Christmas preparations and able to enjoy a tot of mulled wine, or something stronger?
My post today was a little unexpected, a neighbour came and asked me if I would make a bauble and box, as I had done for her other great grandson. (I can't find the photos or post of it) she has had a new great grandson, named Lorenzo, an Italian name, although, she says, he's from a very Welsh family.
So out with my Silhouette, cutting the box the same as this one. I used green card and cut paper from a pad, years old. I cut and glued it all together, then realised I had put the paper on upside down! Thankfully, I had just one more piece of the same paper from the pad. All glued and the box was finished.
Two Welsh flags were printed, also requested, and die cut, so I could stick them together to be seen from any angle. I filled the bauble with faux snow and hung, with fishing line, the flag, so it moved when it shook, with the snow. Next, with my Silhouette, I cut assorted snowflakes from permanent vinyl in white and his name and the year in gold vinyl. I then closed the bauble and added the snowflakes, name, and year. I'm happy to say she was very pleased with it.

Beautifully crafted for the little one Faith, a nice keepsake as well. Hope you have a lovely festive season. As for a tot of something, clearing a cupboard yesterday I turned up a bottle (probably hidden from the boys) of a nice peaty whiskey so will be cracking into it before they arrive.

Absolutely beautiful bauble keepsake and paper a beautiful box too.Just laughed at Brendas comment as last year I was buying the odd bottle for Christmas during the year and ran out of places to put them-then during the year I was tidying the craft room and found a bottle of port(my tipple) and a bottle of wine that had been stashed lol.Best wishes fro Christmas and the New Year.
