A very jazzy gift box

 Hello friends and visitors, well Happy New Year to you all!! Although it seems so long ago now, I hope you all had an enjoyable, peaceful and safe Christmas and that 2022 brings you good health and happiness.

It's the first challenge of the year at


and we would love to see your favourite way of decorating a gift.

Today I am sharing a really lovely gift box. I have made them in the past but it wasn't until Lena shared a whole load of them that I remembered just how fabulous they are.


They make the simplest of gifts really something special and honestly they are SO simple to make using one sheet of square paper or light cardstock of any size. You can find the tutorial here. If you would like some inspiration be sure to pay a visit the AYLI challenge blog to take a look at what my fabulous team mates have made.

See you soon xx

That's a nice gift box for a very special present. I like the patterned papers you've chose. It reminds me of those things we used to fold as kids and write colours, numbers and little messages on the inside for friends to pick and play... remember those?

Anyway I digress, Happy New Year Sarah :) x
