Wow, where do I even begin? Gee, have you guess that I have not had much time to stamp lately? I had yet another child home sick yesterday (this time my son) and I am about to buy shares in Lysol so I can bath everyone in it and hopefully get rid of the germs-yuck:(
Anyway enough whining from me, we have a great challenge over at Stampin' Royalty this week - Anything But a Card. And I thankfully had something I made a while back that fits perfectly with the challenge:) Stampin' Up! had asked this years Artisan Award Winners to create a holiday project for their Facebook Page and I had created a Christmas ornament using the Simply Adorned Line of products. The ornament also fits in with the current challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments, so yay I get to play a long with some more of my blogging friends:)
I wanted the box to be just as pretty as what was on the inside so I just had to add some of my favourite things to it-ribbon, stampin', punching and pearls:) I stamped the Hello, Doilly Background on the lid of the box in Versa Mark then heat embossed it with Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder, crumpled and ruffled some Very Vanilla Seam Binding then added a tiny poinsettia that was created using the Boho Blossom Punch.
Here you can see it hanging on a tree, not exactly a christmas tree but when I was taking the picture I needed to find something to hang it on so I figured the cedar in my backyard would make a good subsitute,lol!
Be sure to check out all of the projects on Stampin' Up's Facebook page, they are amazing! And we would love to have you join us at Stampin' Royalty this week:)

What a great idea for the simply adorned charm. I have one of those, but I'm not much a jewelry girl. Okay....now I know what I'm making. The picture in it is so sweet, too. I hope that by now your family is all back to health and you are able to stamp some more. ;) Thank you for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
