Happy Holidays!!!!!!!

Good Evening!!! Yes it is me again lol I got so fed up with the wallpaper I decided to spend some more time playing. So I made this cute little box that I found on Kirsten's blog, this girl is just so talented I could get lost in time just going through her blog. I followed her template for this gorgeous box and I used one of my Sugar Nellie stamps from my DT package. I have used Poinsettia and she has been colored in with my copic's. I just love coloring these stamps for they are just so easy to color. I used the Magnolia Silent Night stamp for the background on the square nestibilites die. I added Christmas flourishes from Inkadinkado around the top and some lace with some paper flowers from Prima and my new branch punch. The papers I used are from BG and I added some flat pears around the side on top of the MS border punch.
