Somethin' Shiny--TCP

I've been busy at work getting Christmas presents made....so far I have my 3 scrapbooks for my nieces and myself about our summer adventures this year, as well as the scrapbook calendars for my girls for my hubs, mom and inlaws. Now I'm on to the 14 toffee boxes I need to create. I will admit I'm trying to keep it simple by making 4 of each one and two spares :) I decided to get caught up on the challenges over at The Cat's Pajamas for the month and this one fits the first one of the month, to create something shiny. I started with a pattern for a box I bought from PTI a long time ago when they offered them from Lauren Meader. I made a wrap from some Basic Grey Nordic Holiday paper, then created a medallion for th center with some Nesties (the cherry one is embossed with a swiss dot folder) and tied it on with some grosgrain. I used a new release from TCP (Raising Cane) and colored my favorite bunny in. I continued the shiny trend with some spica pens to cover the candy cane to make it shiny (which of course don't show up in the pic), then I put some glaze over it to make it 3D and shiny too. Some tinsel glitter on the hat and rhinestones to frame the circle and I called it a day. Thanks for stopping by!
