Christmas Configurations Box

Hello friends.  So here it is!  
This is what I created at Pickleberry Papercrafts - Christmas Configurations Workshop.
It isn't really finished, I would like to add a few more bits and pieces but I wanted to share some photos with you first.  It was an absolute joy to make, fiddly but joyful! 
 We used lots of techniques - so I've learned some clever new ideas.
Some chose to use tape around the edge of their boxes, I went with inking - Tea Dye - of course! 
Many thanks to Jennie for writing 'Merry Christmas' on my little chalkboard!
And look - little snowballs in a jar! 
Some close ups including the cute little tea light with houses and the old cigarette card adorned with 25.
 I love my reindeer with antlers.
I found this little keyhole in my odd box and thought it went well.
It's on display ready for Christmas and out of Bella's reach!  
I'm on a search for more little items - I'm sure I can squeeze them in.
Back tomorrow - be great if you could join me.

It is really lovely Christine and a great idea to do it up for Christmas, you will be able to bring it out year after year - the snowballs look great!

I have always fancied creating one of these configuaration boxes, and now I've seen your Christmas one, I think I will have to have a go at one before next Christmas. Just lovely.
Thank you Christine.
Regards Linda
