Merry Christmas to me..!!

My husband and I went to the city on Monday and did most of our Christmas shopping and I got most of it done and even a bit of early Christmas to me :)..and one the things that I got and have wanted for some time now is a light box...The one I got awesome..great for storage..and only cost $99.00 I thought that was reasonable. This is it all opened up and ready to go..

These are the lights they are on both sides

Taking it apart

A place for the light outlets and bulbs

The second fold

A place for the back drop which is grey or blue and it comes with a little tri pod for the camera

And this is it all folded up and ready for storage...Isn't this cool :)

Paint Cans

Arn't these paint cans the best...I seen them on PTI sight and ordered some to package my homemade Christmas treats to give away. I haven't decided if I will put in ginger snap cookies or my famous nuts and bolts.

I used Just rite stamps on the lid. Cut it out with scalloped circle & circle  nestablilites. I have a piece of paper with a bunch of different borders on it and used on the middle I dont have a great pic of it. The border paper is from My minds eye-snowed in ribbons . There are matching die cuts and that is where the snow man came from.The gift tag is a SU stamp called Bearing gifts. the red ribbon is from Michaels.

Next I used Just rite stamps for the lid again. The paper around the middle was a 12x12 piece with the pengiun on it and I just cut the penguin out and used it as a die cut. The ribbon ( that I just love) is from Michaels and I used the same gift tag. Pictures really dont do justice for these little paint cans they sparkle with the festive feel :)

And last I used Just rite stamps again ..The paper from 3 bugs in a rug is called Oh Christmas tree and Oh what fun. (it is double sided). The die cut Christmas trees are also from the minds eye die cut paper. I cant wait to hand these out. I am so bad once I get a project done or Christmas present bought I want to give it right away. lol I think I am worst than the kids. Thanks for stopping by.. Monique :)
