So Sweet Strawberry

Happy 2014 Crafty Friends!
 
It feels good to be back and blogging after a much needed Holiday break.  I had a good time traveling and visiting Family with my kids.  The two younger ones are still on break, but I'm back to work and back to crafting.
 
Today is my day to share over at the Lovebug Creations blog.  I am sharing a 3D Chocolate Covered Strawberry container that I made for Valentine's Day. 
 

 
Details:
Strawberry is an svg file from SVG Cuts, "Sweets For My Sweet" kit
I hand cut the banners
Snetiments are from the My Creative Time "So Grateful For You" stamp set
I left off the leaves from the svg file and used some Rumple Ribbon, "Olive You"
 
 
I'll be back soon with more crafty (non-paper) posts!
 
Thanks for stopping by!
