Am getting my Christmas gifts started a little early this year AFTER my meeting on August 19, or course!!! I made this explosion box at the annual class I hold for my co-workers last December; however, didn't get around to making the 12 or so that I needed to give out for Christmas. So ... some will have pretty much the same DSP but others will have this year's paper - most probably Holly Jolly DSP along with Holly & Jolly Rub-ons. I just love the combination of Cherry Cobbler & Old Olive! Might even try my hand at making some in non-Christmas colors too , like using Elegant Soiree DSP & Sunny Garden DSP with their wonderful color pallets!!!
