Houndstooth for Christmas

I love hounds tooth clothing/accessories- who doesn't?
Well I have some Christmas colored houndstooth scrapbook paper, so I decided to make some cute stuff with it.

First I made a box that I had wanted to make for a long time. It was modeled after a box that my mom had sitting around. She had purchased a Swarovski Christmas ornament and she let me steal the box it came in. 

So I tried to remake the box and did it in red and white hounds tooth paper.

Here's the result






Then I saw an idea somewhere online for these little 'baskets' made from 12x12 sheets, so I pulled out some more hounds tooth; this time in green as well as red

 Green and White Houndstooth Basket

 Full of flowers:



 Red and White Basket with ribbon:


With some pretty yellow flowers: 


The box is for sale here in mt etsy shop.
The baskets, I'm not sure about- I might list them on etsy, Or I might just keep them for myself- I haven't decided!


And you wouldn't believe what I found- Houndstooth stamps! How fun is that?!?
