Ok, let me show you the project I made for the hop. It's one of my favorite My Creations items - the card box. It's so affordable at $4.95, and it makes a great piece on a table or a wonderful gift.
I have used just a few items to complete the box. They are Pear & Partridge paper, Holiday Dimensional Elements, and Antiqued Gold Mini Medleys. The banner from the dimensional elements is the perfect size for this box. I cut the fasteners off the Antiqued Gold brads, and used glue dots to adhere the tops of the brads to the banner.
The top was really fun to make! I cut a fancy border on the Artiste and then layered that with a piece of dark chocolate striped grosgrain. From there, I created a yo-yo flower using the Artiste cartridge. The scalloped circle is another dimensional element, and I've finished it off with red gems, an antiqued gold button, and a bow made of bamboo Waxy Flax. Do you see those antiqued gold flourishes? They are super easy to bend. so I can add even more dimension to projects! Oh yes, there's sparkle! I added some Almond Glitz Glitter Gel to the folds of the yo-yo flower. I think this will be a lovely addition to Christmas decorations, and it will be a great place for those wonderful Christmas letters we receive!

Stunning. I just love how you put all this together. You have inspired me to make some of those accordian fold medallions. I also have one of these boxes just waiting to be transformed. I think I'll be using some of you awesome ideas.
Stunning! You have such a knack for layering elements and bringing color and textures together. This one has a spot on my "Brenda Rose Top 10" list!
Love the blog hop! So much creativity! Thank you for sharing!
I'm amazed at your creativity and style. Beautiful creation Brenda.
Beautiful!
Love the yoyo flower!
Great Hop Brenda - lot's of talented ladies on your team! I'm CASE-ing all their ideas! LOL
This is my first time doing a blog hop. It was great fun as I love to see how creative people are and the things that they design. They were all really wonderful and imaginative.
Love your box Brenda. As always....you ROCK and I am so glad that I met you and Close to My Heart.
What a gorgeous box - I am just going to have to lift this, with your permission , of course! I can't wait to see what is ahead. If you are the coach of the women whose artwork I am about to see, I can only imagine what they came up with!
So, excited hopping away I go...
Gorgeous project Brenda!! All of the team has really outdone themselves. I had fun hopping along.
I just love this box! Your artwork is always amazing.
Oh my, amazing! I have another gift idea now! I already follow you :) I'm so glad I'm done shopping... For now anyway
I love this box. Such a good idea to have a box for cards/letters. I have a card holder with open sides; I can't tell you how many times I have to pick them all up and put them back. This will be a perfect fix for me. Can't wait to try some of the yo yo flowers.
I just love your box!!!!You always seem to get it perfect!!!!
So beautiful, Brenda! (I think it would be best packed with fudge...just sayin'...) :D I so enjoy your style!
Love the beautiful box!
very pretty!

Visited all the blogs and had to leave another comment for ALL of you... There's a lot of talent in your group! I'm a CTMH newbie and due to demanding job, haven't had a whole lot of time to make things. Today is my day to get in the craft room and have fun and this blog hop has truly been an inspiration to me! Thanks, Rose, for the invitation. I'll be checking back with all of you to see what you come up with next. Thanks, again.
