A Heart, A Box, A Bingo, Being Sentimental, A Choice, Creativity....

My little project came about a few days ago. New Years "Use it or Lose it" deal to myself. When I was putting out the Valentine decor, I came across many Heart Shaped Candy Boxes I have saved over the years...so they either go out the door or I must do something with them...So this is what I did.


Recovered it...with a Sparkle Heart base, Cut a Spellbinders Scalloped Heart, Tim Holtz's Flourish die,  some Gem Sentiment Words to make LOVE, the little Martha Stewart  Butterflies punch, some old world roses and ribbon from my stash.  Maybe I can make some carmel, or chocolates and present it to someone special.

I am entering this in  Challenge #3 at Joans Gardens   a  "Box (I chose to alter a box), a flourish, a butterfly, a flower..homemade no doubt preferred, but can use a purchased one". My homemade are quite big for this project.
also Wee Memories Challenge #40  "Free Your Creativity"
also Really Reasonable Ribbons  a   "Heart and Ribbon or Lace or Trim"
also Paper Cutz Challenge 75      a   "Choice" 
also Wild Orchid Challenge         "Lets get Sentimental"
and Simon Says Stamp Challenge    "Bingo"  you'll have to hop over and see the choices you have to make bingo.  I made mine by using the  Diagonal  Win  a Punch/Diecuts--Flowers--Gems
Take a hop over to the above blogs, they have some great inspiration and fun things going on.

Thanks for stopping by.  The day is just flying by, still have our really cold temps, but the sun sure helps for a nice bright day. I heard a WARM UP is on the way.
