I decided to make something other than a card this time, and found a sturdy little box which originally had some jewellery in it. It was rather plain, except for the manufacturer's logo on the lid, so I decided to convert it for Christmas.
The papers are from a recent Crafts Beautiful freebie, and I've added some ribbon, some mirror board cut with a Martha Stewart border punch, and a poinsettia cut with a Marianne Creatable die set in my Wizard. Unfortunately, I wasn't convinced I'd be successful, so I didn't take a photo of it in its original state.
It's a nice, solid little box, and I suspect I'll fill it with tablet as a gift, once I've made the tablet, that is!
Hope you can join us this time.

lovely, thanks for joining us at Karens Doodles :)
It's great that you created something beautiful out of an ordinary box. Many thanks for taking part in the Mami Doodles challenge.
Josephine, is tablet some sort of toffee???? When I first read that my initial thought was 'wow the box must be some much bigger than it looks' because I read tablet and thought of those iPad things!
Great recycling project, the poinsettia is particularly stiking.
