"More Than One Score at Scor-Pal" Challenge - Christmas/Holidays

A new month means a new challenge at More Than One Score at Scor-Pal and this time we are looking for your "Anything Goes" themed projects.
You make an "Anything But a Card", a card with a fancy fold, anything as long as it has more than a single score and that you let us know where you used your Scor-Pal in the project.
As it is the holiday season I decided to go with a little Christmas candle holder in a winter theme to be used with a flameless candle for safety.

Candle Holder Recipe:
Scoring Tool - New Eighths Board
Adhesive - Scor-Tape
Paper - Blanc Boutique by The Paper Studio
Border Die - Sizzix Woodland Deer
Frame Die - Memory Box Mansfield Frame
Lace - Hobby Lobby
Ribbon - Martha Stewart

I used my new Scor-Pal Eighths to create both the lid (it is just 1/8" wider than the base for a snug fit) and the rosette.

So now it's your turn, join in our More Than One Score at Scor-Pal challenge with "Anything Goes" as long as it uses your Scor-Pal and "More Than One Score"
