Elle, all three of your gift boxes are lovely and I am sure that the girls never noticed any mistake. I love your box too, it came out beautiful!
Pat I love how your box came out, purple, white and green are my favorite color combos.
Brush you also did a beautiful job on your boxes for Christmas presents. Did you wait until Christmas to give them? LOL
Well LaceLady your tutorial seems to be a hit with us all. I have bookmarked the tutorial and have to get a couple of projects out of the way before I try it myself. But you can be sure I will because they are beautiful!!!
