This gift is almost finished...it just needs one more item on the front but I thought I would share a sneak peek at just one of the gifts I made/altered to bring.
This paper block has been so much fun to work with. I love using black & white together...with the added gold & brown tones...it's a delightful color palette.
Notice what I used as a trinket holder? Ok, so they are embellies but "trinket" sounded too cute. I snagged the box from one of our boys...there was still candy in it but I decided it was time to empty out the chocolates into a zippy. This is a much less expensive version of these cute little boxes you find to buy everywhere. I love to pick my own "trinkets" to share.
I hope everyone else likes this gift...it's not all I have made but just one I was totally lovin and had to share. There will be more sneak peeks over the next few days.
I love it, Tracy! It's beautiful! Sounds like your gonna have a great time! Can I come too? LOL
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteVery Cute!!!
ReplyDeleteAwwww! Too cute, Tracy! Love this! : )
ReplyDeleteEmpty the chocolate into a zippy? I don't think so! Ha ha
ReplyDeleteCute idea for holding those little trinkets!
Really pretty!! TFS!
ReplyDeleteI could kick myself for not looking at your blog before I tossed the box from my V-Day candy...this is awesome!

Great way to recycle! Very cute idea - and the top looks very elegant. Oh - and what;s with the zippy. I don't think they would've made it into a bag in our house!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love this gift! Very creative! By the way, I think it might be illegal to have chocolate left over from valentine's day for more than a week. I'm not going to turn you in, this time, but remember...you must each the chocolate within a week!!!! ha ha (or in my case, the first day!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteWay cute! The heart is so elegant.
ReplyDeleteI was checking out similar boxes on clearance a couple of weeks ago. I thought they would look cute embellished. Now I wish I had gotten them. This is so pretty and much less fattening than chocolate!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, so much work in this its beautiful.
