Christmas Triangle Box

I made this Christmas Triangle box following a fabulous tutorial on You Tube from one of my Pootler buddies Amanda.  It was soooo easy to make, instructions nice and clear and perfect for a little treat :)  I love how it has a magnetic closure and sits flat on the table.

Below is a pic open and of what is inside!

James Bear Christmas

This is one of my fave Christmas Images as I love love love James Bear from LILI OF THE VALLEY.

This is also my first attempt using Copic markers for James.  After advice from my lovely friend Marianne (who's colouring is A-MAY-ZING!!!) I purchased some tones of brown and had a play.  The remainder of the image is coloured with SPECTRUM NOIRS.

I'm quite pleased with the result  and I'm sure I will be purchasing more pens too.
