I had a little get-together last week for my downline. Earlier this summer Stampin' Up! had a wonderful promotion for signing up as a demo and included in that promotion was a Christmas Keepsake Box. All of my new downline received one for signing up and I received one because of recruiting. We all got together to create our box:

I was so involved in my box that when I started adhering the scallops on the sides, I discovered my lid was upside-down! I really love the way it turned out (by mistake)!

Don't you just love all the detail and layers. We also had the option of adding Pearl Jewels to the little tiny Wild Wasabi strip on the sides and I opted  not to:
