Well my lie in yesterday morning went totally to pot. I forgot about the brass band! Every year on Christmas Day at 8am a Brass Band comes and plays on the corner by our house - only for about 2 minutes, just enough to wake everyone up! I can tell you, it puts me in a right good mood every time! I haven't a clue who they are or why they do it but it annoys me every time. I wouldn't mind if they did it a couple of hours later - not everyone has little ones and is up at that time.
Moan over! I realised yesterday that I hadn't posted any Spellbinders projects this month so before the month disappears, I thought I'd better fix that. Obviously, I didn't get much tidying done as I was getting cards made but there's always today! Nathan and I are off to see the new Star Wars movie later so I had better get a move on as I also need to start prepping for my next One Day Special on 5th January.
I have a couple of little boxes for you today. They're made using the Spellbinders Box Of Treats Special Occasions Die Set by Marisa Job.
The first one is made from a paper in Lisa Horton's Christmas Paper Pad -
This is what the main die looks like -

ReplyDeleteI hope you have had a nice time and a good rest, sorry I did not comment yesterday. Thank you for all you do for us take care and have fun Kitty.
Morning Julia, sorry your Lie in went to pot but I had to laugh expecting a lie in then a brass band starts playing, that's why theth only do it for 2 min to get away before you all try to strangle them.
ReplyDeleteYour boxes are great super little dies.

Good morning Julia today's projects are gorgeous. That is an amazing die set. Enjoy the film we really want to see that one. Not today though we are visiting more family. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteShame about the brass band, but I bet Nathan slept through it! Great boxes.
The family are going to see the film on Wednesday, but I have very bad motion sickness and can't cope with action movies on the big screen so will have to wait for the blu-ray to be released (I'll be playing with my new dies instead). We played some great games yesterday, my mum can't draw which made for some challenges and much hilarity in one game.

Morning Julia, oh you poor thing yesterday being woken by a brass band...........I would not have been very impressed either.
ReplyDeletelove the box die, looks like another to add to my list.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Julia, Oh poor you at least you didnt get woken at 5am like my grandson did with his boys they were up and wanting to open the presents, it was a long day for him as both boys are not feeling the best. Beautiful boxes i love them both, I hope you manage a bit of clearing up before you and your son go of to the cinema, ive a feeling my hubby would love to go and see it to, he loves science fiction. hugs Shirleyxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteOoo how dare they wake you ,so inconsiderate and as you say not everyone needs to be awake so early.
Beautiful papers and boxes Julia, so useful too.

Lovely box Julia. Thank you for sharing this. Enjoy the film. Not my cup of tea I am afraid.
ReplyDeleteHello Julia.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a very useful die, I was not aware that Spellbinders had made box dies until now. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry you didn't get your lie in, enjoy your visit to the flicks, personally a Star Wars film would be my idea of Hell, lol.
Best wishes
Hi Julia. I am so sorry, but I did laugh at your Brass Band. My alarm was grandchildren, 6.45am. I am home now but I bet I will wake up early tomorrow naturally. Enjoy your film. SueL x
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, Love both boxes, very useful die.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your time at the cinema with Nathan
