I decided to use one of their pre-coloured digis for my  second book box project.
I am making one of these for each of our daughter's Christmas cards this year.
I have yet to add the verse inside the box and intend to put a small piece of jewellery in the box as a surprise.

The image is called Holy Night and is perfect for our oldest daughter who has three beautiful King Charles Spaniels.


This is the inside .......


The book box template can be found here
The Papers are from Raspberry Road Designs Victorian Holidays set and Christmas Thyme Set.
