Christmas memory box

In the last quarter Stampin Up! had a recruit special going on.  If we got a recruit then we got this Christmas Memory Box kit.  Well, I got some recruits and I finally got my box put together.  I followed the instructions but I could have made it any way that I wanted to.  So here's the box.  It's about 7 1/2 X 5 X 2".  And I think that it turned out pretty good.  Now I wish I had a couple more to do for Christmas presents.  I'll have to look for some boxes somewhere.

Look at everything that was included with the kit.  There's a big pearl adornment, buttons, vintage tag, a jar of glitter, the ribbon, card stock, DSP, a whole sheet of pearls and, of course, the stamp set. 

Here's a close up of the top.  There' three, ah, what-cha-ma-callit's.  I can't think of the right word.  The one on the left is just lace ribbon with a thread run through it and pulled up tight.  The middle one is three scallop circles, adhered together and then crumpled up.  The one on the right is just a strip of material that is adhered to the middle of a circle of card stock, then twist and adhere to the circle.  Then attached the circle to a scallop of the material.  ROSETTES!! That's the word that I was trying to think of.   See the green circle in the middle?  That's called a lolly and it's super simple to make the with Simply Scoring tool.  When I finished my box the instructions said to spray with adhesive and then add glitter but I decided to just use some Smooch ink in a spray bottle with some rubbing alcohol.

Then I spent about an hour fiddling with the software program for my new camera.  Still don't have it figured out but it's getting easier.  Then I spent about half an hour on the phone trying to get my sister's new cell phone activated.  Still not sure that it's working right.
