Hello Friends
Is there anything nicer for a crafter, than getting a handmade gift from a crafty friend at Christmas?!
This year at Anything But Cute we decided to do a Secret Santa and I got to make a gift
for the uber talented Pamellia of My Little Craft Things. So, what to make for such a talented crafter? It had to be a 3D project using one of Eileen Hull's fabulous dies! I used the Cantilever Sewing Box die to make Pamellia a little box to store some of her crafty bits and bobs. I am happy to report that Pamellia loved her gift....
The box opens up and there are lots of little compartments to store crafty things.
I used some beautiful Maja Design papers for the inside and outside of the box. The struts and insides of the trays are painted with IndigoBlu English Cottage Acrylic paint - Grandma's Teacup, it matched the papers so beautifully.
I also made a tag and included one of Tim Holtz's Idea-ology watches, decorated inside with the words 'Remember the Now'. The little knobs on the top of the box are also from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology range.
Finally, I sent Pamellia quite a simple card. Those who know Pamellia well will know how much love she has for the neighbourhood woodland creatures, particularly the squirrels. When I saw this delightful image I knew it just had to go on Pamellia's card and I wanted it to be the centre of attention.
I was so lucky to receive my gift from my lovely and talented friend, Sara Emily of Sara's Closet. Here is a sneak peek of what Sara sent me, you will never guess what it is!
It has been such a pleasure participating in the Secret Santa with my lovely teamies at Anything But Cute this year! It has been great fun ladies!! We are taking a little break during December at Anything But Cute but we will be back with our Winners Post on 12th December and with a new challenge in January!
I am adding this to Country View Challenges where the challenge theme is - Christmas
I am also adding my little sewing box to Simon Says Monday Challenge where the challenge theme is Christmas Gifts.
Thank you for looking, hope to see you again soon.
Big hugs, Anne xxx

I added a flower to the top using Tim Holtz's fabulous Poinsettia die. The flower is removable so that the box will look a little less Christmassy....

I hope you will find the time to go over THERE and have a look, it is quite exquisite. About a year or so ago Sara did a tag with a similar technique and I lusted after it for ages, the tag has been shared over a 1,000 times on Pinterest, so I think a lot of others were lusting after it too! Sara, I LOVE MY GORGEOUS GIFT, it will be so incredibly useful, particularly over Christmas!
