Completely Crackers

Well thank goodness it's the weekend, although despite us welcoming in August this week, I'm in Christmas mode with a festive project.

I've made a cracker gift box, and matching tag, but in both cases they're HUGE!!  I've got quite a few pics so bear with me:

Firstly here's the cracker.  I've used a 12" purple scrapping page for the cracker base, and decorated it with Nitwits papers which I've edged with purple ink.



And from a slightly different angle so you can see the front better:


And here's the matching supersized tag using the same papers, and a cute Wild Rose Studio image: 

And a bit more close up on the image:


And finally, just to prove how large these items really are, here they are together with my bottle of Glossy Accents and my craft pencil :



I hope you've liked my supersized gift set.

Oh hunny these are just soooooo gorgeous - and bigger the better for Christmas (more room for presents!). Sorry it has been so long since my last visit, I could do with many more hours in my week (so long as they aren't spent at work) Hugs sweetie xx
