Challenge 45 ... Bags and Boxes ...

We saw some truly bonnie Baby's 1st Christmas cards from you last week and, as predicted, there was a fair amount of drooling going on here at Humbug Hall as we browsed your entries.  
With only a couple of challenges left for this year,  most of you will have a healthy supply of beautiful cards by now,  so we thought we'd change tack slightly for our challenge this week and ask you to consider creating a
Gift Bag or Box   
The DT have come up with a few ideas to get you started,  but we're super confident that you have your own creative ways of making those itty-bitty nick-nacks that we all pop under our tree look extra-specially exciting ... so please show and share!  
Should you prefer to create a card for our theme,  then there's always the option of creating a box card ... or maybe even an exploding box, which were all the rage in craftland a couple of years ago.  Whatever you decide, we're really looking forward to seeing your ideas.
If you'd like to know more details about this week's DT projects, or if you just want to leave some love for Ann,  Max and Colleen,  then click on the links below to visit our personal blogs.  Your messages are always appreciated and we do our very best to reply to everyone.

********************
The deadline for this challenge is 
12 noon (UK time)
Thursday 24th November 2011
 *********************
Feel free to show us as many different Christmas Boxy/Baggy Projects as you want to share.  
Just remember ... have fun and don't forget to leave us a direct link to your project in our comment box so we can come and admire your creativity.
