Anniversary Amore Blog Hop - Box of Chocolates

Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome to the Anniversary Amore Blog Hop!



Scrappin 2 Little Princesses is celebrating the one year anniversary of her blog and what better way to celebrate than with a Blog Hop!

The theme of the hop is Love and we'll be hopping from Feb 15th through the 17th. And we've got some great sponsors (EAD Designs, Pink By Design Stamps, and Pretty Little Studio), so be sure to stop by all the blogs and leave a comment to be eligible.

If you've hopped over from Tanya's blog, then you're in the right place. If not, then be sure to stop by Candace's blog and start from the begining.

My project is a box of chocolates. And the best thing about my chocolates is that they are fat-free and calorie-free.





Supplies:
Cardstock is Recollections
Box is 4" x 4", and 1 1/2" high.
Used MS score board to make the box and lid.
MS edge punch
Cut out heart in the center of the top and placed clear acetate behind it
Tied closed with "Raspberry/White" Timeless Twine
Tag is cut using the PBD Tag die and stamped with the coordinaing stamp set
Sentiment is from the "Say It Sweet" stamp set
Crochet Chocolates is a free pattern from Red Heart and can be found here

Next stop on the hop is Kim's blog.

Thanks for stopping by!
