I can show you the project now that it's in print and you can see the magazine here (it's a special issue of PaperCrafts called 225 Cards and Gifts and my project appears on p.62).
The call for projects asked for ideas for recycling so my treat box is an empty box from a low-energy light bulb that has been stamped with a woodgrain stamp and had a tag added that is cut from a board-backed envelope.
Stamps (Cornish Heritage Farms)
Woodgrain Backgrounder
Winter Vintage Signage
Ink:
Various brown-toned Tim Holtz Distress by Ranger
Other:
Low energy light bulb box
Board backed envelope
Jute twine
Extra large eyelet (We R Memory Keepers - antique brass)
This is the pic I took before submission, it's featured in the magazine photographed alongside a gift bag of coffee.

Wheee - I'm published!
The postie just arrived with a box for me from the US. It turned out to be the return of a project I'd submitted to PaperCrafts magazine along with a couple of copies of the magazine it features in! This is my second publication but the first time I've seen myself in print as I didn't receive a copy of the mag for the first one.
