It's that time of year when I start thinking about 'goodie boxes' for Christmas and Hallowe'en. While digging through a pile of scrap papers with notes scribbled on them I found an idea using the We R Memory Keeper Gift Box punch board. I hadn't thought about that little piece of 'must have' equipment for a long time. This time it is going to be a Christmas theme. Going through my 'odds & sods' I found some snowflakes, tags and a really nice poinsettia die-cuts. After glittering the heck out of the snowflakes and adding some ribbon I cut a slit at the bottom of the box so I could get at the jelly beans. Yum.. When you were a kid did you ever use the red ones for lipstick? Ah..misspent youth! LOL

These are so cute Sue! I love how you can use bits and pieces of ribbon and embellishments, etc on your boxes to decorate for the occasion. I didn't know about that jelly bean-lipstick trick...lol...

Oh gosh, these boxes are as cute as can be! You are way ahead of the game compared to me. I am usually doing this on Christmas Eve as I am trying to get out the door. LOL. I have never heard of using a red jelly bean for lipstick either, but if I had known about it, I definitely would have done that! I am putting these into my favs for inspiration! ~Karen.

I'll take a dozen of those cute boxes. You always inspire me to use things I have, my husband thanks you. These really are cute, and just shows you care when giving out a favor. Like all the embellishments. Love it. TFS

You are a master at dimensional items, Sue. I still think about those terrific business card holders you made. These are adorable with the die cut details. What a terrific gift treat.
LOL! I had to laugh right out loud when I read your comment about not having played with the We R Memory Keeper punch board. I have three different kinds of those things and have never used them once. Both of your packages are beautiful. I love the glittery tag.
